Velazquez went 1-for-4 with a solo homer, the first of his career, in Saturday's win over the Twins.
The homer had minimal impact on the game, as it stretched the Yankees' lead from five to six runs, but it was a nice moment for the Bronx native, who's been crashing on his parents' couch during his brief time in the big leagues. While Velazquez has been a fun story, he remains largely uninteresting for fantasy purposes, as he's a 27-year-old utility man with a lifetime .178 batting average in 147 career trips to the plate.
