Cole Irvin News
The Baltimore Orioles acquired left-hander Cole Irvin and minor-league right-hander Kyle Virbitsky from the Oakland Athletics on Thursday in exchange for infield prospect Darell Hernaiz, according to sources. Irvin, a 28-year-old southpaw, had a career-best 3.98 ERA (4.21 FIP), 1.16 WHIP and 17.3 percent strikeout rate in 30 starts covering 181 innings in his second full season as a starter for the A's in 2022. He doesn't strike out a ton of batters, though, keeping his fantasy upside low, and the move to a much more hitter-friendly home ballpark and the tough American League East division are downgrades for Irvin heading into his fifth MLB season in 2023. Virbitsky, 24, had a 4.63 ERA and 1.31 WHIP with a career-high 140 strikeouts and 30 walks in 126 1/3 innings over 23 outings (22 starts) for Single-A Stockton and High-A Lansing last year.
Oakland Athletics left-hander Cole Irvin racked up a career-high 11 strikeouts in a no-decision in Wednesday's 3-2 extra-innings win over the Miami Marlins. Irvin threw seven shutout innings, allowed only three hits and didn't walk a single batter. The 28-year-old southpaw was virtually untouchable in this one, and in the process he lowered his ERA on the year to 3.16. He also has a 1.03 WHIP, 98 strikeouts and 26 walks in 142 1/3 innings over his 23 starts for the last-place A's. It was Irvin's 13th quality start of the season, making him very attractive in fantasy baseball despite pitching for a bad team.
Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Cole Irvin took his 11th loss of the season Friday after allowing six runs (five earned) on six hits and two walks to the Seattle Mariners. He struck out two batters. Five of those six runs allowed came off the bat off Seattle third baseman Eugenio Suarez, who took Irvin deep twice. Irvin has now given up five earned runs in consecutive starts, and yet he maintains a solid 3.33 ERA and 1.06 WHIP in 22 games started. Being a member of the A's and only having 87 strikeouts in 135 1/3 innings pitched combine to limit his fantasy upside.
