Danny Coulombe Fantasy Stats

The Boston Red Sox signed free-agent left-handed reliever Danny Coulombe to an undisclosed one-year deal on Friday. In a corresponding move, the Red Sox placed infielder Romy Gonzalez (shoulder) on the 60-day injured list after he had left-shoulder surgery. The 36-year-old Coulombe was originally a 25th-round draft pick by the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2012 out of Texas Tech. He had a solid 2.30 ERA, 1.16 WHIP, a career-high two saves, 43 strikeouts, and 18 walks in 43 innings over 55 appearances (one start) last year with the Minnesota Twins and Texas Rangers. Over his 11 seasons in the big leagues, Coulombe has gone 17-10 with a 3.35 ERA (3.62 FIP), 1.20 WHIP, five saves, and a 24% strikeout rate in 11 seasons with five different teams. At best, Coulombe is going to be a lefty specialist out of Boston's bullpen in 2026, and he won't have any real fantasy appeal.

According to Chris Cotillo of Mass Live, the Boston Red Sox remain engaged with free agent left-hander Danny Coulombe. Cotillo reported that with Justin Wilson considering retirement, the Red Sox have begun to shop the market for other free-agent southpaws for the bullpen. Last season, Coulombe was highly effective in Minnesota, logging 31 innings with a stellar 1.16 ERA and 0.97 WHIP. During this stint with the Twins, the left-hander struck out 31 hitters and allowed nine free passes. However, Coulombe was shipped to the Rangers before the deadline and saw his production decline. With the Rangers, Coulombe posted a much higher 5.25 ERA and a 1.67 WHIP across 12 innings. Given his strong production with the Twins, Coulombe could earn a high-leverage role in the Boston bullpen and be a viable target for those in deeper leagues that reward holds.

The Texas Rangers have acquired left-handed reliever Danny Coulombe from the Minnesota Twins for lefty Garrett Horn. Coulombe has pitched to an effective 3.28 ERA over 304 2/3 career innings, but he has taken it to another level this year. Across 31 innings in 2025, the 35-year-old has put up a microscopic 1.16 ERA with a 0.97 WHIP, 31:9 K:BB, eight holds, and two saves. Coulombe could occasionally pick up some saves in Texas, which has used multiple relievers to close out games this year. Robert Garcia leads the team with just nine saves.

The Minnesota Twins will start left-handed reliever Danny Coulombe against the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday. Right-hander David Festa was previously penciled in to start for the Twins. Coulombe, who hasn't thrown more than 1 2/3 innings in any of his 25 appearances this year, will work as an opener. The 35-year-old has pitched to a microscopic 0.46 ERA with 22 strikeouts and four walks over 19 2/3 frames.

The Minnesota Twins have activated left-handed pitcher Danny Coulombe (forearm) from the 15-day injured list before Sunday's contest against the Toronto Blue Jays. In a corresponding move, the Twins placed right-handed pitcher Zebby Matthews (shoulder) on the 15-day IL. Coulombe has been held out of action since May 18. Before the injury, the southpaw was enjoying an impressive start to the campaign, tossing 16 2/3 shutout innings of relief. The left-hander has struck out 19 batters and served up walks at a stellar 3.3% rate. Under the hood, he has generated an elite 1.68 xERA with a .187 xBA. During the opening months of the campaign, Coulombe tallied two holds and two saves operating as a high-leverage option. While Jhoan Duran and Griffin Jax will continue to see most of the high-leverage situations, Coulombe should see a handful of opportunities to tally holds going forward.

The Minnesota Twins have placed left-handed pitcher Danny Coulombe (forearm) on the 15-day injured list with a forearm strain. The 35-year-old has not appeared in a game since Wednesday. Through his first 16 2/3 innings of work this season, the left-hander has been one of the most effective relief pitchers in the sport. He has not allowed a run and posted a stellar 0.60 WHIP. He has struck out 19 batters and served up walks at an impressive 3.3% rate. Under the hood, he has generated a 1.69 xERA (100th percentile) and a .187 xBA (95th percentile). He has tallied two holds and two saves, pitching primarily in the seventh and eighth innings. While he is sidelined, fantasy managers should expect Jhoan Duran to serve as the primary closer, with Griffin Jax and Cole Sands being the primary setup options.

Free-agent left-hander Danny Coulombe agreed to a one-year, $3 million deal on Tuesday with the Minnesota Twins, according to a source. The deal also includes incentives. Despite missing a good chunk of the 2024 campaign with the Baltimore Orioles due to bone chips that required surgery, Coulombe had a strong 2.12 ERA (2.83 FIP), a 0.67 WHIP, one save, 32 strikeouts and only five walks in 29 2/3 relief innings for the O's last season. In his two years in Baltimore, the 35-year-old veteran southpaw reliever held a sharp 2.56 ERA (2.83 FIP), a 0.95 WHIP, three saves and a 90:17 K:BB in 81 frames. Coulombe will bring a lefty presence as a late-inning setup man to a strong bullpen that already includes Griffin Jax, Cole Sands and Brock Stewart in front of lights-out closer Jhoan Duran.

According to Robert Murray of FanSided.com, left-handed relief pitcher Danny Coulombe is drawing interest on the market. Murray noted that multiple teams were interested in left-hander Taylor Rogers before he was traded to Cincinnati. As a result, Coulombe could be viewed as one of the top southpaws on the market. Last season with Baltimore, Coulombe posted a strong 2.12 ERA with a 0.67 WHIP across 29 2/3 innings. He struck out 32 batters and served up just five free passes. In 2023, Coulombe posted a similar 2.81 ERA and a 1.11 WHP across 51 1/3 frames with the Orioles. The southpaw consistently saw time as a high-leverage option in the Baltimore bullpen over the past two seasons. He would likely find a role as a setup man in 2025.

Baltimore Orioles relief pitcher Danny Coulombe picked up his first save of the season in Monday's 2-0 win over the Yankees. Coulombe entered the game to pitch the top of the ninth inning up by two and turned in a 1-2-3 outing with no strikeouts. Closer Craig Kimbrel (back) is currently day-to-day with back tightness, so Coulombe was called upon to close things out. The 34-year-old has pitched well this season with a 3.18 ERA, an 11.12 K/9 rate, and a 1.59 BB/9 rate in 11 1/3 IP. His fantasy value will remain limited without seeing routine high-leverage situations, but he could provide value in saves-plus-holds leagues if he ends up getting interim save opportunities.

Baltimore Orioles left-hander Danny Coulombe was activated from the injured list on Thursday after missing a few weeks of action with left biceps tendinitis. The club optioned lefty Nick Vespi in a corresponding move. That's good news for the Orioles, as the 33-year-old has been dominant, pitching to a 2.77 ERA and 1.10 WHIP with 48 punchouts across 39 innings. Coulombe only has one save on the season, but he's been a regular in late innings, collecting 19 holds, making him a decent option in hold formats.
