Carter Capps News
The San Diego Padres announced Monday that reliever Carter Capps has been outrighted to Triple-A El Paso after recording a 7.71 ERA and 1.50 WHIP over 4 2/3 innings this spring. It's been a rough couple of years for Capps, who had just returned from Tommy John surgery last year and then underwent thoracic outlet surgery this offseason. While one can hope that Capps can return to his 2015 form, it's possible that we may never see that after two major surgeries in three years. There was no reason to own Capps in any league before this move, and there is no reason to roster him now.
San Diego Padres relief pitcher Carter Capps (shoulder) will make his Cactus League debut Sunday. Capps got a late start this spring after undergoing thoracic outlet surgery over the offseason. The reliever's stuff was down last season after he made it back from Tommy John surgery and now he has another operation to return from.
San Diego Padres relief pitcher Carter Capps avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $1.0625 million contract Wednesday. Capps has logged just 15 1/3 total innings at the major league level since August 2015, and he needed surgery for thoracic outlet syndrome this offseason. The hope is that he will be ready for spring training in February, but the crow-hopping 27-year-old right-hander remains a big question mark for the San Diego bullpen. Capps once seemed like one of the most promising young relievers in the sport.
