David Phelps News
Right-handed pitcher David Phelps officially announced his retirement from professional baseball. The 36-year-old reliever spent 10 years in the big leagues, three each with the New York Yankees, Miami Marlins and Toronto Blue Jays. He finished up the 2022 season in Toronto with a strong 2.83 ERA (3.16 FIP), 1.30 WHIP, one save, 31 walks and 64 strikeouts in 63 2/3 innings over 65 appearances (one start). Phelps made the decision to hang up his cleats after having surgery to reattach his lat muscle to his right shoulder. Over the span of his 10-year career, Phelps went 34-40 with a 3.80 ERA (3.87 FIP), 1.31 WHIP, seven saves and 22.9 percent strikeout rate in 682 2/3 innings thrown in the regular season.
Toronto Blue Jays relief pitcher David Phelps (lat) was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a right lat strain, according to Keegan Matheson of MLB.com. Phelps exited the game prior to the eighth inning after feeling a "pang" while warming up for the inning. In a corresponding move, the Blue Jays activated Hyun-Jin Ryu from the injured list to start Thursday's game. He has been one of the better options in SV/HLD formats this season, with five holds in 11 appearances, while posting a 0.87 ERA with 15 strikeouts in 10 1/3 innings of work.
The Toronto Blue Jays placed right-hander David Phelps (lat) on the 10-day injured list on Thursday with a right lat strain. Phelps had to leave after feeling pain while warming up after entering to pitch the eighth inning in the win on Wednesday over the Oakland Athletics. In a corresponding move, the team activated starting pitcher Hyun-Jin Ryu (gluteus) from the 10-day injured list, and the left-hander will make the start on Thursday against the A's. There is no timetable for Phelps' return, and given the nature of his ailment, don't be surprised if he's not back when his 10 days are up. The 34-year-old has been solid in relief for Toronto this year, allowing just an earned run while striking out 15 and walking four in 10 1/3 innings over 11 appearances.
