Brad Ziegler News
Arizona Diamondbacks relief pitcher Brad Ziegler announced his retirement from baseball on Wednesday. The veteran sidearmer turned 39 on Wednesday and finished 2018 with a 3.91 ERA, 1.30 WHIP, 10 saves and a 6.1 K/9 over a career-high 82 appearances (73 2/3 innings). He'll finish his 11-year career with a 2.75 ERA, 1.26 WHIP, 105 saves and a 6.0 K/9 in 739 outings.
Arizona Diamondbacks relief pitcher Brad Ziegler is officially active for Thursday's contest against the San Francisco Giants. Relief pitcher Silvino Bracho has been optioned to Triple-A Reno to make room for Ziegler on the active roster. Ziegler was the closer in Miami during the beginning of the season, but over the last couple of months he's been pitching in a setup role for the Marlins. The D-Backs still have Brad Boxberger at closer, so it looks like Ziegler will continue to pitch in a setup role. That is going to hinder plenty of his fantasy value going forward, but there is a chance he does see save chances if Boxberger struggles.
The Miami Marlins acquired 24-year-old right-hander Tommy Eveld from the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday in exchange for relief pitcher Brad Ziegler. Eveld was 3-2 with a 1.11 ERA at two levels in the minors for the D-backs this year. He also sports a shining 0.93 WHIP and had 47 strikeouts in 40 2/3 innings.
