Alex Colomé Fantasy Stats

Free-agent relief pitcher Alex Colome has signed a minor-league contract with the Chicago White Sox. The 34-year-old was released by the Washington Nationals at the end of spring training. He'll look to bounce back after a horrendous 2022 campaign with the Colorado Rockies. Colome posted a career-worst 5.74 ERA in 53 games with the Rockies last season. However, the right-hander was excellent during his time with the White Sox in 2019-2020. During that span. Colome posted a 2.27 ERA with 42 saves in 83 games with the South Siders. The hope is that Colome can return to that level of play once again. For now, the expectation is that he'll head to the minors until the team feels he's ready to pitch.

The Washington Nationals signed free-agent reliever Alexander Colome to a minor-league deal on Friday that includes an invitation to major-league spring training. The Nationals have had plenty of interest in Colome before, including advanced trade talks with the Chicago White Sox at the 2019 trade deadline. The 34-year-old right-hander was an All-Star back in 2016 with the Tampa Bay Rays when he had a 1.91 ERA and 37 saves, but he's no longer in his prime heading into his 11th big-league campaign. In 47 relief innings for the Colorado Rockies in 2022, he posted a career-worst 5.74 ERA (4.54 FIP), 1.68 WHIP, four saves and 14.9 percent strikeout rate. Colome does have 159 career saves, but he's unlikely to pitch in too many high-leverage situations for the Nats if he makes the team out of spring training.

Colorado Rockies right-handed reliever Alex Colome has been placed on the 15-day injured list with right lateral epicondylitis, which is more commonly known as tennis elbow. In his place, Justin Lawrence was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque. Colome owns a 4.68 ERA, 1.59 WHIP, and .292 OBA along with 5.95 K/9 and 3.61 BB/9 through 46 games (42.1 innings) this season. He has tallied seven holds, four saves, and three blown saves along the way.

Colorado Rockies relief pitcher Alex Colome (hamstring) was removed from Tuesday's game against the San Diego Padres after he felt his hamstring cramp up. He was pitching in the eighth inning of the game and recorded two outs before he was lifted. His final line was 2/3 of an inning, two hits, one walk and two runs (one earned). He will be reevaluated by the team on Wednesday. The 33-year-old has made 35 appearances this year and he's pitched to a 2.94 ERA and a 1.46 WHIP while racking up five holds and four saves.

Colorado Rockies pitcher Alex Colome allowed one hit over a scoreless inning to earn the save during Thursday's 4-2 win over the San Francisco Giants. He entered the ninth inning to protect a two-run lead. The 33-year-old tossed a scoreless inning to earn his third save of the season. Colorado's primary closer Daniel Bard was unavailable after pitching in previous back-to-back games. The right-hander hasn't allowed a run over his last 11 1/3 innings and owns a 2.53 ERA across 21 1/3 innings in 2022. Colome is a perfect 3-for-3 in save opportunities, but with the lack of save chances, he is mainly an option in deep-league formats.

Colorado Rockies pitcher Alex Colome allowed two runs on two hits and a walk while striking out one across over an inning to secure the save in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Detroit Tigers. He entered the game in the ninth inning to protect a three-run lead. The right-hander surrendered a two-run triple to Austin Meadows, which reduced the Rockies' lead to 3-2. He struck out Harold Castro for the final out to notch his second save of the season. The 33-year-old is in the mix for save chances along with reliever Daniel Bard. Colome has converted both save opportunities while sporting a 6.35 ERA and 2.12 WHIP over 5 2/3 innings in 2022.

Colorado Rockies relief pitcher Alex Colome picked up his first save of the season in Monday's 4-1 win over the Phillies. Colome entered the game to pitch the ninth inning with a three-run lead. He Got Bryce Harper to ground out, Nick Castellanos to fly out, walked Rhys Hoskins, and finally got Kyle Schwarber to ground out. The veteran has been a reliable source of saves in the past for fantasy managers, but he seems to be a clear second in terms of closing options for the Rockies behind Daniel Bard. Bard has converted four of five save opportunities to this point and pitched in two of the Rockies' last three games heading into this one. Colome has now converted one of two save opportunities with a 2.65 ERA and just two strikeouts over 3 2/3 innings pitched. He may be worth a roster spot in deep roto leagues for some occasional saves, but fantasy managers should not expect the kind of save numbers from him that they have seen in the past.

The Colorado Rockies agreed to an undisclosed one-year deal with free-agent relief pitcher Alex Colome on Saturday night, according to a source. The Rockies added Colome, shortstop Jose Iglesias and outfielder Scott Schebler on a busy Saturday. Colome doesn't have typical closer stuff, but the 33-year-old veteran has 155 career saves over nine major league seasons, and he should immediately be penciled in as the Rockies ninth-inning man for the 2022 season. In 67 relief outings for the Minnesota Twins last year, he had a 4.15 ERA, 1.40 WHIP, 58 strikeouts, 23 walks and 17 saves in 65 innings pitched. Carlos Estevez and Daniel Bard will be his primary competitors for saves in Colorado. Colome will have minimal fantasy value as the expected closer, and Coors Field isn't the most attractive destination for a pitcher of Colome's pedigree.

The Minnesota Twins declined a 2022 option on relief pitcher Alex Colome, who will become a free agent. Colome signed on with the Twins last offseason to close, though it was a tale of two halves for the veteran, as his season got off to a disastrous start before he finished the year strong, pitching to a 3.51 ERA in 33 1/3 innings while picking up 15 of his 17 saves. The underlying numbers weren't particularly kind to Colome, though he should still attract some suitors in free agency as a veteran capable of working the late innings. He could have some late-round appeal in saves/holds leagues, depending on where he lands.

Minnesota Twins relief pitcher Alex Colome notched the easiest save of the season in Friday's win over the Blue Jays. Colome needed just five pitches to shut the door on Toronto, firing five strikes and picking up a punchout in the process. His rough start to the season is a distant memory now, as the veteran reliever has been one of the more steady fantasy closing options in the second half. Colome should continue to rack up saves for a Twins team that has sneakily been a better squad since the trade deadline.
