Aaron Bummer News
The Atlanta Braves acquired left-handed reliever Aaron Bummer from the Chicago White Sox on Thursday night in exchange for right-hander Michael Soroka, left-hander Jared Shuster, infielders Nicky Lopez and Braden Shewmake and minor-league right-hander Riley Gowens. Bummer, 30, went 5-5 with a 6.79 ERA (3.58 FIP) and 1.53 WHIP with 36 walks and a career-high 78 strikeouts in 58 1/3 relief innings. He was definitely inconsistent for the White Sox in his sixth MLB season, but he served in a late-inning, high-leverage role and was better in the second half. On a much better team in 2024, Bummer could be very valuable for holds and after recording 12 strikeouts per nine innings last year. His barrel percentage of 2.7 ranked in the 99th percentile among all pitchers.
Chicago White Sox reliever Aaron Bummer had another tough outing during Sunday's 8-4 loss against the Baltimore Orioles. He allowed two hits and a pair of walks without recording an out, giving up three earned runs en route to his first loss of the season. Bummer owns an 8.44 ERA with a 2.06 WHIP, 22.2% strikeout rate, and an incredible 18.5% walk rate over 5.1 innings so far this year. Coming into the season, the right-hander was in line to pick up double-digit holds, but with his struggles on the mound, fantasy managers can drop him in every league.
Chicago White Sox relief pitcher Aaron Bummer (lat) threw his first bullpen session on Thursday at normal effort. Bummer said he'll have to see how he recovers on Friday, but the session went off as planned and he's feeling good. The 29-year-old left-hander entered spring training with some soreness in his left lat, so the White Sox took it easy with him. There remains a chance that Bummer could be ready for Opening Day, where he'd be in the saves picture in a committee approach with Liam Hendriks dealing with cancer. Bummer tossed only 26 2/3 innings for the Pale Hose in 2022 because of injuries, but he had a 2.36 ERA and two saves when he was healthy. He's only worth a flier for those speculating on saves in deeper leagues because of his extensive injury history.
