Free-agent left-hander Adam Conley announced his retirement from baseball on Friday. Conley was the second-round pick of the Miami Marlins in 2011 and pitched for them from 2015-19 and for the Tampa Bay Rays in 2021. The 31-year-old had a nice 2.29 ERA and 1.02 WHIP while striking out 16 and walking six in 19 2/3 relief innings for the Rays last season. In his four years with the Fish, the southpaw had a 4.82 ERA and 1.42 WHIP while striking out 358 and walking 172 in 414 1/3 innings over 174 appearances (56 starts). Conley had a career ERA of 4.71 and a WHIP of 1.40 in six major league seasons spanning 434 innings pitched.
Left-handed relief pitcher Adam Conley is now a free agent after clearing waivers. The Tampa Bay Rays previously designated the reliever for assignment. The 31-year-old made 17 appearances out of the bullpen for the Rays in 2021, pitching to a 2.29 ERA and a 4.08 FIP in 19.2 innings. He also struck out 16 batters while surrendering 14 hits, six walks, five earned runs, and a pair of home runs. Tampa Bay's current bullpen options include Andrew Kittredge, Nick Anderson, JT Chargois, Josh Fleming, Pete Fairbanks, J.P. Feyereisen, Ryan Thompson, Matt Wisler, and Jeffrey Springs.
Miami Marlins relief pitcher Adam Conley had an awful outing in Tuesday's exhibition game against the Atlanta Braves. Conley ended up getting just one out, but allowed four runs on three hits and two walks. He also allowed both runners he inherited to score, leading to an eight-run inning. Conley has shown promising signs in the past and was legitimately good in 2018, but a 6.53 ERA last season has likely put him on a short leash. While he's fully expected to be on the Opening Day roster, if Conley continues to struggle, he may be one of the roster casualties when the roster goes from 30 to 28 players. He has no fantasy value at this point.
Miami Marlins relief pitcher Adam Conley threw two innings of scoreless relief while striking out four to earn a win against the Nationals on Sunday. Conley now has a 3-1 record on the season with a 3.32 ERA and a 26/9 K/BB ratio. Conley has been solid since his permanent move to the bullpen, and has drawn some interest on the trade market. If he is moved to a team who is willing to let him close, or even return to a starting role, Conley could be a player to watch in deeper leagues.
Adam Conley Posts Scoreless Inning in Relief on Monday
Miami Marlins pitcher Adam Conley came on in relief on Monday, getting one strikeout while giving up a hit as the Marlins were shut out by the Mets 2-0. Conley, who was a starter for the Marlins the past three seasons, had toiled in the minor leagues this year to the tune of a 5.18 ERA across eight starts until being called up as bullpen help on May 18. This his was his first major league appearance in 2018. While he posted a sub-4.00 ERA in his first two major league seasons, Conley remains firmly off fantasy owners' radar at this time.
Adam Conley, Dillon Peters Recalled by Marlins Friday
The Marlins recalled left-handed pitchers Adam Conley and Dillon Peters from Triple-A New Orleans on Friday, according to MLB.com's Joe Frisaro. Conley and Peters join Miami after the team optioned reliever Tyler Cloyd to Triple-A and designated reliever Junichi Tazawa for assignment on Thursday. Conley and Peters had both been part of the New Orleans rotation, but for now will pitch out of the bullpen for the Marlins. These two likely won't have much value outside of deep NL-only leagues or leagues that count holds in scoring.
Miami Marlins left-hander Adam Conley picked up his seventh win of the season on Saturday, holding the Milwaukee Brewers to three runs in 5 2/3 innings of work. He struck out six and walked three in the outing. The win improves Conley's record to 7-7 with a 5.20 ERA and 78 strikeouts in 98 2/3 innings of work. Conley is scheduled to take on the Arizona Diamondbacks in his next start. The difficult opponent paired with Conley's poor pitching this season makes him an avoid in fantasy.
Adam Conley Dazzles On Saturday, Becoming A 'Must-Add' Pitcher
Miami Marlins starter Adam Conley has been a completely different pitcher since being called up from Triple-A two weeks ago. After allowing just two runs over his first 13 innings back, Conley dominated the Cincinnati Reds on Saturday to pick up his second-straight win. After allowing a solo homer to Joey Votto in the first inning, Conley cruised through the rest of the Cincinnati lineup. In 7 2/3 innings, he allowed just two runs and struck out seven in a 7-3 victory. In three July starts, Conley is 2-0 with a 1.74 ERA and a 1.16 WHIP.
Adam Conley Looks For Another Great Start On Saturday
The Miami Marlins will send starter Adam Conley to the mound on Saturday as he looks to build off the success of his last two outings. The lefty has looked much better since being called up from Triple-A two weeks ago, having allowed just two earned runs in his previous 13 innings. His K/BB of 4/1 is a drastic improvement from when he started the season, and he's lowered his ERA by nearly two runs since being called up. He'll face the Cincinnati Reds at Marlins Park on Saturday night, a team that's lost its last five games.
Adam Conley will return to the mound for the Miami Marlins on Tuesday as they continue their series with the Philadelphia Phillies. After beginning the season as Miami's fifth starter, Conley was demoted to Triple-A after falling on incredibly hard times. The southpaw last made a big-league appearance on May 8 when he was crushed for seven earned runs in less than four innings against the Cardinals. He could fare better on Tuesday against the Phillies, one of the worst offensive teams in baseball. On the season, Conley is 2-3 with a 7.53 ERA.
