Danny Coulombe Fantasy Stats

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.

Baltimore Orioles left-hander Danny Coulombe (biceps) was placed on the 15-day injured list on Thursday with left biceps tendinitis, according to MLB.com. The 33-year-old has been sensational this season, posting a 2.77 ERA and 1.10 WHIP with 48 punchouts over 39 innings. Coulombe only has one save to his name but has recorded 19 holds. There isn't an exact timetable for the 33-year-old's return yet, but manager Brandon Hyde is optimistic that the club will activate him when he's eligible.

The Minnesota Twins re-signed left-handed reliever Danny Coulombe to a minor-league deal on Friday that includes an invitation to spring training next year. Coulombe became a free agent in October when he refused an outright assignment to the minor leagues, but he'll return to Minnesota for the 2023 campaign. The 33-year-old southpaw had a lost season in 2022, undergoing surgery to fix the labrum in his left hip during the summer, so he ended up making just 10 relief appearances in the first half of the season. In his 12 1/3 innings, he allowed three runs (two earned) on seven hits while walking nine and striking out nine. Over eight seasons in the big leagues, Coulombe has a 3.92 ERA (4.02 FIP), a 1.31 WHIP, 80 walks and 179 strikeouts in 192 2/3 innings over 194 appearances (one start).

The Minnesota Twins activated relief pitcher Danny Coulombe (hip) from the 15-day injured list on Friday and placed outfielder Gilberto Celestino on the COVID-19 injured list in a corresponding move. Coulombe had been sidelined with a left hip impingement, but he'll return to Minnesota's bullpen this weekend. The 32-year-old southpaw will return to a pristine 0.75 ERA, a 1.00 WHIP, seven walks and nine strikeouts in 12 relief innings over nine appearances. Celestino has been solid as a reserve outfielder for the Twins, as he's hitting .324 (24-for-74) with no homers, four RBI and 10 runs scored in 31 games played. It's unclear when he'll be able to rejoin the team.

Minnesota Twins pitcher Danny Coulombe was reinstated from the paternity list on Monday ahead of the doubleheader against the Chicago White Sox. Coulombe was with his family for the birth of his second son but will be back in action and will presumably appear in relief of scheduled starter Griffin Jax in the first game of the twin bill. Coulombe has pitched to a 1.13 ERA with 11 strikeouts in eight innings this season. Despite the strong performance, he isn't much of a factor in the wins or saves department, leaving him off the fantasy radar.

Minnesota Twins pitcher Danny Coulombe struggled as the opener in Friday's win over the Cleveland Indians. Coulombe pitched 1 2/3 innings, surrendering three runs, one earned, on two hits while walking none. He struck out a pair of hitters. Coulombe allowed a pair of homers in the first inning, one following an error, as he was lifted from the game in the top of the second after 32 pitches. Despite excelling for the Twins' Triple-A affiliate this season, Coulombe seems unlikely to earn another spot start as an opener. Perhaps, Griffin Jax- who earned his first big league win- could serve as a spot starter in the next turn around the rotation.

Minnesota Twins left-hander Danny Coulombe will make the start on Friday evening in his Twins debut against the Cleveland Indians. It will be a bullpen game, so fantasy managers shouldn't be expecting Coulombe to go deep into this ballgame. The 31-year-old southpaw had a fantastic 1.77 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 27:3 K:BB in 14 relief outings (20 1/3 innings) for Triple-A St. Paul before joining Minnesota. Stay away from Coulombe as a fantasy streamer in this one, but you may want to stack some Cleveland bats in DFS on Friday.

A's manager Bob Melvin lists Liam Hendriks and Daniel Coulombe as relievers who could move into more prominent roles now that Sean Doolittle and Ryan Madson have been traded. Santiago Casilla has the closer role on lock down, but the A's rebuilding plan likely means Casilla will be shopped in advance of the trade deadline. One of Hendriks, Coulombe, veteran John Axford or newcomer Blake Treinen will likely take over the ninth inning duties if/when Casilla is dealt. Hendriks has an ugly 5.26 ERA on the year but a 3.33 FIP and a very nice 11.95 K/9, making him an intriguing add should he end up with the ninth inning role. Coulombe on the other hand has a 2.81 ERA and a 1.09 WHIP, but his 4.11 FIP leaves something to be desired, as does his pedestrian 7.03 K/9. Should anyone take over the ninth inning role permanently they would be worth an add in deep mixed and AL-only leagues. More than likely, manager Bob Melvin will go with a committee, making this a bullpen to stay away from in the second half.

Oakland A's reliever Daniel Coulombe has been one of the few bright spots in the Oakland bullpen this year and could be in line for an increased role, reports Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle. With relief pitcher Sean Doolittle (shoulder) on the disabled list, Coulombe is the only lefty in the bullpen. He has held lefties to a .143 batting average this season, and hitters are 1-for-16 with runners in scoring position off him. A's manager Bob Melvin acknowledged that Coulombe could see an increased role going forward. "He hasn't been in that role before, not only does he have to get comfortable with it, I have to be comfortable with it." For now, consider Coulombe a speculative add in deep formats that count holds. He should get plenty of work this week against the heavy left-handed hitting Mariners squad.
