According to Keegan Matheson of MLB.com, Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Adam Kloffenstein (shoulder) is dealing with shoulder fatigue. Matheson noted that his MRI showed no structural damage and that he should resume throwing in a few days. Kloffenstein missed the final two months of the 2024 campaign with a shoulder injury. He signed with Toronto on a minor league deal earlier this offseason. Last summer, he logged just one inning in the major leagues with the St. Louis Cardinals as he spent the majority of the season with the Memphis Redbirds. Across 89 1/3 innings at Triple-A, Kloffenstein held a 4.74 ERA with a 1.33 WHIP. He struck out 73 batters and served up a hefty 41 free passes. Fantasy managers should expect the 24-year-old to open the season with Triple-A Buffalo.
Adam Kloffenstein Signs Minor-League Deal With Toronto
According to Robert Murray of FanSided, the Toronto Blue have signed right-handed pitcher Adam Kloffenstein to a minor-league deal that contains an invite to spring training. The 24-year-old was given a brief taste of the majors last season as he logged just one inning of work. He was sidelined during the final two months of the season due to a shoulder injury. Across 89 1/3 innings of work at Triple-A last season, Kloffenstein posted a 4.74 ERA with a 1.33 WHIP. He struck out 73 batters and served up 41 free passes. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor Kloffenstein's status, as he could be limited during the start of spring training. If he performs well in spring training, he could have an outside chance of making the Opening Day roster but will likely start the 2025 season at Triple-A, given his lack of big league experience.
