Rest-of-Season Projections
Slated for work in outfield
The Red Sox will have Yorke work into outfield drills during spring training in an attempt to increase his versatility, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.
ANALYSIS
Yorke is in big-league camp as a non-roster player, and while he doesn't have a realistic shot to make the team, he will get a chance to make an impression while also showing what he can do in the outfield. He has played second base exclusively so far in the minor leagues. A first-round pick in 2020, Yorke spent last season at Double-A Portland, slashing .268/.350/.435 with 13 homers and 18 steals across 506 plate appearances.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Possible solution at second base
Sean McAdam of The Springfield Republican reports the Red Sox are expecting Yorke "to be a fixture" at second base but also said the prospect can't be counted on to be productive in 2024.
ANALYSIS
The 21-year-old is one of Boston's top prospects and has a .269/.351/.439 slash line in 108 games at Double-A Portland this season, but he's not guaranteed to make his big-league debut in 2024, especially early in the campaign. The Red Sox will head into the offseason with more questions than answers at the keystone, and Yorke should at least have the opportunity to showcase himself in spring training. The 2020 first-round pick is likely to open next season with Triple-A Worcester, unless he has a very impressive camp and ends up skipping the highest level of the minors altogether.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
Yorke's 2021 season was a statistical tour de force, especially when factoring his age relative to the levels he was playing at. However, his 2022 season was a massive departure, and while some of that can be attributed to injuries (turf toe, back stiffness, wrist soreness), this offseason is an opportunity for the skeptics and non-believers to move off the bat-first infielder. Yorke is a tinkerer at the plate, but he never really had a stretch in 2022 that compared to his 2021 exploits. The 20-year-old slashed .231/.303/.365 with 11 home runs and a 25.2 K% in 80 games at High-A. He was better in essentially every offensive metric during his 21-game run at that level in 2021, and the contrast of his quality of contact metrics was particularly stark (45.2% flyball rate in 2021, 35.4% flyball rate in 2022). Yorke needs to hit, as he is a below-average defender most places - he could be passable at second base. He has youth on his side, and just a year ago evaluators were talking about Yorke as one of the best pure hitters in the minors, so there is an opportunity for him to have a healthy bounce-back season in 2023. However, even his staunchest supporters will probably jump ship this summer if he picks up where he left off in 2022.
