Andrew Albers Fantasy Stats

The Minnesota Twins selected the contracts of pitchers Andrew Albers and Kyle Barraclough from Triple-A on Thursday, the team announced in a press release. These were the corresponding moves to the placement of Lewis Thorpe on the 10-day injured list and the optioning of Edgar Garcia to Triple-A. Albers has not pitched in the majors since 2017, where he went 5-1 with a 3.51 ERA, 1.293 WHIP and 20.8 percent strikeout rate over 41 innings with Seattle. He's looked decent at Triple-A this year, going 6-4 with a 3.86 ERA, 1.297 WHIP and 19.8 percent strikeout rate over 91 innings of work. Meanwhile, Kyle Barraclough has not pitched in the majors since 2019, but he's looked pretty solid at Triple-A this year, where he's gone 7-1 with a 3.00 ERA, 1.056 WHIP and 38.7 percent strikeout rate over 36 innings between Minnesota and New York's system. Barraclough could be a decent play in SV/HLD formats, while Albers is a potential streaming option in deeper formats.

Andrew Albers allowed eight runs, only three earned, as the defense broke down in the first inning as the Mariners lost to the Yankees 10-1. The Mariners made an astonishing five errors in the first inning as the game was lost from the get-go. Albers did allow 11 hits through five innings but he never really had a chance on Sunday. Albers hopes to get better support in his next turn in the rotation.

Andrew Albers won his second straight start with the Mariners, allowing three runs through five innings in the 6-5 win over the Braves. The left-hander even got into the offensive act, driving in a run with an infield single in the second inning. Through two starts Albers numbers are not that impressive (1.40 WHIP) but two wins in a row most likely means he will be given another start in the rotation. Albers, however, does not possess a lot of fantasy value right now.

Manager Scott Servais has informed reporters that starter Andrew Albers has earned another start, per mlb.com. Albers tossed five innings of one-run baseball in his first start after being called up from the minors and the Mariners want to see what the left-hander can do with more opportunity. With Yovani Gallardo getting rocked in his last start it is possible he may be moved back to the bullpen in the near future. Albers will take the ball against Atlanta on Monday.
