Collin McHugh News
The Atlanta Braves reinstated right-hander Collin McHugh from the COVID-19 injured list on Thursday and designated right-hander Jacob Webb for assignment in a corresponding move. McHugh has been out since June 7 after testing positive for the virus, but he should return to a middle-relief role in Atlanta's bullpen. Before being sidelined, he had a respectable 3.42 ERA, 1.09 WHIP, 25 strikeouts and only five walks in 23 2/3 innings over 21 relief appearances. However, he's not that useful in fantasy unless you're in a league that rewards points for holds.
The Atlanta Braves have signed right-handed pitcher Collin McHugh to a two-year deal with $10 million guaranteed. The deal also has a club option for 2024. McHugh spent the 2021 season with the Tampa Bay Rays and worked in short relief and as an opener for the team. By most metrics, he was as effective as he's ever been in the majors last year. He had a 30% strikeout rate and a 1.55 ERA that was supported by a 2.26 xERA. He was exceptional at limiting hard contact with a 98th percentile barrel rate (2.5%) and a 96th percentile hard-hit rate (29.6%). If we get word that he's a candidate for a starting role with the Braves, he'd be well worthy of rostering in most fantasy leagues.
Free-agent right-hander Collin McHugh has a robust free-agent market, as expected, and the Boston Red Sox are among the teams interested in him, according to an industry source. McHugh signed with the Red Sox in 2020 and then opted out of the season due to COVID-19 and injury concerns. The 34-year-old was great for the Tampa Bay Rays last year, posting a 1.55 ERA and 0.94 WHIP with 74 strikeouts and 12 walks in 64 innings over 37 appearances (seven starts). McHugh had some nice seasons with the Houston Astros from 2014-19 and will be a versatile arm for whatever club signs him this spring. In nine major league seasons, McHugh has 247 outings and has made 126 starts.
