Andrew Triggs Rejoins Roster, Activated Off Injured List Saturday
Boston Red Sox right-handed pitcher Andrew Triggs (arm) was activated off of the injured list prior to Saturdays contest versus Atlanta. Triggs has made four appearances (two starts) for Boston this season and allowed seven runs in 7 IP with seven Ks. He is one of a handful of arms that was sidelined due to injury, offering little fantasy appeal over the final two days of the year and heading into 2021. Lefty Jeffrey Springs was optioned to the clubs alternate site as a corresponding roster move.
Boston Red Sox right-handed pitcher Andrew Triggs was placed on the 10-day injured list prior to Tuesdays contest versus Miami, paving the way for Tanner Houck to join the active roster and make his first big league start. Triggs is dealing with radial nerve irritation in his pitching arm, likely ending his 2020 campaign. In three appearances (two starts) with the Red Sox, Triggs allowed three home runs in seven innings, striking out seven batters. He becomes the latest member of the Boston pitching staff to hit the IL, thereby zapping the team of even more consistent pitching.
Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Andrew Triggs (shoulder) will have thoracic outlet surgery on Sept. 26, and it will be performed by Dr. Gregory Pearl in Dallas, Texas. Triggs was 3-1 with a 5.23 ERA with 43 strikeouts in just nine starts for Oakland in 2018. The right-hander also finished the year on the disabled list in 2017. These types of surgeries are tough to come back from, so Triggs won't be a lock to contribute in 2019.

Triggs last started in the big leagues on May 17 against the Blue Jays. He is 3-1 on the year with a 5.23 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and career-high 9.4 K/9.

After visiting a specialist, he was assured that the nerve problem in his forearm was not structural in nature. He will be shut down for the next 10 to 14 days before he's re-evaluated. Even with this news, Triggs still lacks fantasy relevance. He carries an ugly 5.23 ERA and 1.33 WHIP through 41 1/3 innings on the season. He belongs on the waiver wire.

Triggs has been on the DL since May 18 with nerve irritation related to a triceps strain.

Triggs owns a 5.23 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and a 43:18 strikeout-to-walk rate across 41 1/3 innings this season. While the peripheral numbers suggest the ERA should come down a touch, Triggs has no definitive timeline and has not been great when healthy, so there's no need to own him right now.
