Collin McHugh Stats

Tampa Bay Rays right-hander Collin McHugh (back) "bounced back (and) felt good" after throwing a bullpen session, according to manager Kevin Cash. McHugh threw off a mound again on Monday and is eligible to come off the injured list on Wednesday. Left-hander Cody Reed (thumb) will not come off the injured list when he's eligible on Tuesday, but Cash said he expects Reed to have a "fairly quick turnaround" once he starts his throwing program following a Botox injection for his injury. McHugh has a rough 10.13 ERA in four outings so far this year, while Reed has given up just one earned run in his 3 1/3 innings pitched over five outings. The Rays bullpen is slowly getting healthier, with Pete Fairbanks also expected to return in short order.

The Tampa Bay Rays and pitcher Collin McHugh agreed to a one-year contract pending a physical. McHugh opted-out of the 2020 season as his elbow was not responding to offseason surgery as well as he'd hoped. Elbow injuries are always concerning, but if McHugh is back to full health he could be a sneaky-asset for the Rays. Tampa Bay is famously analytical with their pitching staff and a pitcher like McHugh with starting and relief experience will fit right in. The right-hander has had success starting including winning 19 games in 2015 for Houston. He also thrived in a relief role posting a 1.99 ERA in 72 1/3 relief innings in 2018. As of now, McHugh is not on the fantasy radar but if he hooks healthy in Spring Training he could be an asset in deeper fantasy leagues.
