Brad Peacock Fantasy Stats

The Kansas City Royals released three players from its Triple-A Omaha roster on Wednesday -- outfielder Roman Quinn and right-handed pitchers Brad Peacock and Brandon Barker. Quinn began the 2022 season with the Philadelphia Phillies, but he was designated for assignment by the team in early June. After clearing waivers, he elected free agency and signed with the Royals. The 29-year-old hit just .162/.225/.189 over 23 games with the Phillies this year. Peacock, meanwhile, had been down at Triple-A Omaha all year. Over 35 relief appearances, he pitched to a stellar 1.64 ERA and 1.28 WHIP. Given those solid results, it seems likely the 34-year-old will land another minors contract soon.

The Kansas City Royals signed free-agent right-handed pitcher Brad Peacock to a minor league deal on Monday. Peacock wasn't on a 40-man roster at the end of last year despite briefly pitching for the Boston Red Sox in 2021, so he was able to sign during MLB's lockout. The 34-year-old has spent eight of his 10 major league seasons pitching for the Houston Astros, and he was successful as a starter and reliever from 2016-19, when he had a 3.48 ERA in 320 1/3 innings. Peacock had shoulder surgery in the fall of 2020 and has thrown just 2 1/3 innings since. The righty allowed nine runs in 5 1/3 innings for Boston last year and wasn't much better at Triple-A, posting an 8.00 ERA in 36 innings.

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Brad Peacock made his team debut Tuesday, pitching on three days' rest against the Tampa Bay Rays. He didn't perform well, allowing five runs on two hits and two walks in 2 1/3 innings. This start was borne out of the COVID issues Boston is facing, and it would be surprising to see Peacock receive another opportunity. Regardless, fantasy managers should stay far away.

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Brad Peacock is the newest member of the organization, as he was shipped over from Cleveland this afternoon. The Red Sox sent cash considerations in return. Peacock has not been on a 40-man roster this season, hence his eligibility to be traded. In ten starts and eleven appearances for Triple-A Columbus, he's produced a 7.68 ERA in 34 innings. He won't factor into Boston's big-league plans just yet, and he may only be organizational depth. Fantasy managers can ignore him for now.

The Houston Astros regained a pair of right-handed pitchers prior to Saturdays doubleheader against the Angels with Jose Urquidy and Brad Peacock being activated off of the injured list. Urquidy, the clubs No. 2 prospect per MLB Pipeline, is slated to make his 2020 debut by starting the second game of the DH on Saturday. Peacock will also make his season debut when he gets into a contest out of relief, having proven to be a valuable swingman for Houston who has compiled 23 wins over the past three years. Urquidy holds the higher value of the two over the final three-plus weeks, although both are deep fantasy league options at this stage.

Houston Astros pitcher Brad Peacock (neck) was scheduled to throw off a mound for the first time this spring on Wednesday. Peacock has been struggling with nerve issues in his neck, effectively ending his chances of opening the regular season in the starting rotation. The 32-year-old right-hander has proven highly effective in a relief role for Houston, though, and he had a 4.12 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 96 strikeouts in 91 2/3 innings in 23 outings (15 starts) for the Astros in 2019. He made 20-plus starts in 2017, but unfortunately he doesn't have much use for fantasy owners coming out of the bullpen. If Peacock is starting at some point in 2020, he can be a useful streamer in DFS and deeper mixed leagues.

Houston Astros right-handed pitcher Brad Peacock (shoulder) is making progress and is confident he'll be ready by Opening Day. Peacock has battled neck and shoulder issues in the early portions of spring training which seem to have eliminated him from contending for the fifth spot in the rotation right out of the gate. But Peacock is a valuable piece to the pitching staff and has the ability to produce from the bullpen or as a starter. Peacock has appeared in 118 games over the past three seasons and 37 of those have been as a starter. Peacock went 5-6 last season with a 1.18 WHIP, a 4.24 ERA and 82 strikeouts in 80 2/3 innings pitched as a starter. The only way he contributes on a fantasy roster this season will be if he is re-inserted into the starting rotation.

Houston Astros pitching coach Brent Strom said that starting pitcher Brad Peacock (neck) is likely out of the competition for the No. 5 rotation spot because of his injury. With Peacock likely to start in the bullpen when he's ready, the No. 5 spot will come down to Josh James, Austin Pruitt or Framber Valdez. Strom praised James' work in the offseason to transform his delivery, so he might be the early favorite. Peacock can be very valuable to Houston in relief, too, but it'll take him out of the running to be fantasy relevant in mixed leagues, at least to begin the season. Whoever wins the No. 5 spot will be attractive as a cheap flier in AL-only formats.

Houston Astros starting pitcher Brad Peacock (neck) suffered a recurrence of the nerve damage in his neck. He is back throwing from 90 feet, but it's a setback to his throwing program and could blow his chances of winning the No. 5 rotation spot to start the regular season. Peacock had a decent 4.12 ERA and 1.19 WHIP while striking out 96 and walking 31 in 23 outings (15 starts) over 91 2/3 frames for the 'Stros in 2019. He's made 20-plus starts in his eight big league seasons only twice, but he's a valuable swingman for Houston and hadn't had an ERA over 4.00 prior to 2019 since 2015. The right-hander can be a really nice DFS or deep league streamer when he's making starts, but there's a good chance now that he'll open the season in the bullpen.

Houston Astros pitcher Brad Peacock has been activated from the IL after being out of action since the end of June. He's been shelved with a shoulder injury and will return to a relief role after spending the first half of the season as a starter. Peacock had mixed results this year with a 6-6 record, 4.13 ERA, and 89 strikeouts in 85.0 innings pitched. He won't carry much fantasy value as a middle reliever the rest of the way, and it's certain he won't get moved back into the rotation.
