Dan Altavilla Stats

San Diego Padres relief pitcher Dan Altavilla is the likeliest candidate to win the final spot in the bullpen over Tim Hill, Taylor Williams and Michael Baez. Altavilla pitched meaningful innings down the stretch last year and is out of minor-league options. Hill, a left-hander, still has options. He'll almost certainly join the team if there is an injury in the bullpen, especially since the Padres could use another lefty to join Drew Pomeranz after injuries to Jose Castillo (elbow) and Matt Strahm (knee). Austin Adams and Craig Stammen are pretty much locks for the bullpen. There should be plenty of relief innings to go around with the Padres likely to be cautious with their starters early on, so Altavilla could see some high-leverage innings.

Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Dan Altavilla gave up one hit, struck out one batter and recorded his first save for Seattle in Wednesday's win over the Angels. Once Yoshihisa Hirano landed on the injured list before the season, it was assumed that Matt Magill would be in line for saves until Hirano returned but that hasn't been the case so far. Altavilla has a career 3.59 ERA and 1.28 WHIP in five seasons with the Mariners and this was his first career save. The Mariners aren't expected to be in too many save situations this season and the Mariners appear to be going closer-by-committee until Hirano returns, so it's not worth picking any of these pitchers up to chase saves in the meantime.

Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Dan Altavilla (shoulder) is scheduled to begin his rehab assignment at Double-A Arkansas on Thursday. He was placed on the disabled list in the beginning of May due to inflammation in the AC joint of his right shoulder. Altavilla could return to the Mariners bullpen early next week. He's only worth a look in the deepest of leagues that count holds.
