Caleb Ferguson Fantasy Stats

Cincinnati Reds left-hander Caleb Ferguson picked up his first save of the season on Friday, allowing a hit and recording a strikeout while pitching a scoreless ninth inning in his team's 6-4 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates. Ferguson did not make his season debut until late May due to an oblique issue. He's pitched well since returning, recording a 1.32 ERA, 1.24 WHIP, and 13 strikeouts across 13 2/3 innings (13 games). The 32-year-old has notched seven career saves across eight seasons in the big leagues and profiles more as a lefty specialist than a closer. However, the Reds are scrambling to fill their ninth-inning role with Emilio Pagan (hamstring), Graham Ashcraft (elbow), and Tony Santillan (oblique) all currently on the injured list. Pagan is nearing a rehab assignment and could return to the Reds around the All-Star break. Still, until then, Ferguson could be worth adding in deeper leagues as a potential source of saves.

Free-agent left-handed reliever Caleb Ferguson agreed to an undisclosed one-year deal with the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday, pending a physical, a source told Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic. Ferguson brings much more real-life value to Cincinnati's bullpen for the 2026 season than he carries fantasy appeal. The 29-year-old southpaw appeared in a career-high 70 games with the Pittsburgh Pirates and Seattle Mariners last season over 65 1/3 innings pitched. He had a combined 3.58 ERA (3.26 FIP) and 1.16 WHIP with 51 strikeouts and 22 walks. Ferguson's strikeout rate dropped to a career-low 18.9% in 2025, but he held left-handed hitters to a weak .184/.261/.204 slash line on the year. He'll continue to be a lefty specialist in 2026 for the Reds and won't carry any real fantasy appeal.

The Seattle Mariners traded right-handed pitching prospect Jeter Martinez to the Pirates in exchange for lefty reliever Caleb Ferguson, according to Adam Jude of the Seattle Times. Martinez is a 19-year-old who has spent all of the 2025 season starting at Low-A, where he has a 6.18 ERA, 1.61 WHIP, and a 7.7% K-BB% in 62.2 innings. The walk rates have been out of control in Martinez's short time in the minor leagues, and Fangraphs' present command grade of 20 reflects that. He has a high 90s fastball to go with a strong slider, which is a potentially strong foundation for the right-hander. His future will be determined by his ability to throw strikes consistently, and he could eventually turn into a reliever with electric strikeout stuff.

Pittsburgh Pirates relief pitcher Caleb Ferguson was traded to the Seattle Mariners on Wednesday. This is a nice under-the-radar move for Seattle to add extra depth to their bullpen. Ferguson holds a 3.74 ERA, 1.09 WHIP, and 34/14 K/BB ratio across 45 appearances with the Pirates this season. He figures to pitch in a setup role for the Mariners down the stretch. The return for Pittsburgh was not announced yet, but it likely won't be a huge return given Ferguson is on a one-year deal, There won't be much fantasy value here with Ferguson unlikely to close out games in Seattle.

According to Alex Stumpf of MLB.com, the Pittsburgh Pirates have signed left-handed pitcher Caleb Ferguson to a one-year contract worth $3 million. Ferguson spent the entire 2024 season in the bullpen but has been stretched out as a starter in the past. Last season, across 54 1/3 innings of relief with the Astros and Yankees, the southpaw posted a 4.64 ERA and a 1.49 WHIP. He tallied one save. He generated a solid 26.9% K rate and 46.4% ground-ball rate, which placed him in the 78th and 72nd percentile, respectively. In 2023, Ferguson posted a 3.43 ERA and a 1.44 WHIP across 60 1/3 innings of work. Fantasy managers should monitor his production during spring training as he could have an outside chance to be deployed as a starter in the Steel City.

The New York Yankees have acquired left-handed reliever Caleb Ferguson from the Los Angeles Dodgers in exchange for fellow southpaw reliever Matt Gage and right-handed prospect Christian Zazueta. Ferguson returned from Tommy John surgery in 2022 to toss a spectacular 1.82 ERA before working to a solid 3.43 ERA across 68 appearances in the 2023 season. Interestingly, his 2023 results were identical to his 3.43 career ERA in 201 appearances (14 starts), all of which have come with the Dodgers. The Yankees recently claimed Gage off waivers from the Houston Astros after he posted a 2.70 ERA in 5 outings with the team in 2023 while also posting a 4.58 ERA at Triple-A Sugar Land in 34 appearances. Zazueta, 19, posted a 3.29 ERA in 12 outings with the Yankees' Dominican Summer League Affiliate in 2023.

Los Angeles Dodgers left-hander Caleb Ferguson is serving as the team's opener on Tuesday for the first game of their doubleheader against the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field. After Ferguson goes a few innings, right-hander Ryan Pepiot is expected to enter as the bulk reliever. The 27-year-old Ferguson isn't a recommended fantasy streamer, as it would be a surprise to see him go more than an inning in this one. The left-handed reliever has had a fine year for the Dodgers this year, though, going 7-3 with a 2.47 ERA, 1.34 WHIP, three saves and 67 strikeouts in 58 1/3 innings over 65 appearances (six starts). In his six starts in 2023, Ferguson has allowed two earned runs while striking out five in just six innings of work.

Los Angeles Dodgers left-hander Caleb Ferguson will serve as the team's opener on Friday against the division-rival San Francisco Giants, with lefty Ryan Yarbrough expected to be the bulk reliever behind him, according to manager Dave Roberts. Ferguson has been solid for the Blue this year, going 7-3 with a 2.56 ERA, 1.37 WHIP, three saves and 66 strikeouts in 56 1/3 innings over 63 appearances (five starts) this year, but he's not going to go deep enough to give fantasy managers a chance at a win against San Fran. In his five starts, Ferguson allowed two earned runs while walking one and striking out five in just five innings.

The Los Angeles Dodgers placed left-hander Caleb Ferguson on the paternity list on Tuesday and recalled pitcher Justin Bruihl from the minors in a corresponding move. Ferguson is leaving the team temporarily to be with his wife for the birth of their first child. Meanwhile, Bruihl will give the Dodgers some relief depth over the next two days of the series against the Milwaukee Brewers. The 26-year-old Ferguson should be back with the club for the start of another crucial three-game series against the division-rival San Diego Padres on Friday. He's been a key bullpen piece for LA so far this year, recording a stingy 1.26 ERA (2.65 FIP), 0.84 WHIP, three walks and 14 strikeouts in 14 1/3 relief innings.

Los Angeles Dodgers left-handed pitcher Caleb Ferguson(elbow) is done for the remainder of the 2020 season and likely most of 2021 as well. Ferguson will undergo the second Tommy John surgery of his career next week in response to the results of his latest MRI on his pitching elbow. Ferguson had developed into a crucial cog of the Dodgers bullpen this season, posting a 2.89 ERA and 1.02 WHIP while amassing 13 strikeouts per nine innings. Still just 24 years old, there is considerable time for Ferguson to return to the mound and come back healthy, although he likely holds no fantasy intrigue until the start of the 2022 year, assuming all goes well on the comeback trail.
