Devin Smeltzer Stats

Minnesota Twins relief pitcher Devin Smeltzer (elbow) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday with left elbow inflammation, according to Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com. Smeltzer had made only one appearance so far this year, tossing 4 2/3 innings of relief against the Pirates on April 24. With Smeltzer out, the Twins have recalled Shaun Anderson to take his place. For now, neither Smeltzer nor Anderson should be considered as viable options in fantasy.

Minnesota Twins pitcher Devin Smeltzer was optioned back to the team's alternate site following Saturday's loss to the Pirates. Smeltzer played a key role in the game, pitching 4 2/3 innings of one-run ball- no earned runs- in relief of starter Michael Pineda, who was roughed up for five runs in his outing. The move makes sense, considering Smeltzer won't be able to pitch again for several days. The team is expected to announce a corresponding move on Sunday.

Minnesota Twins pitcher Devin Smeltzer pitched 4 1/3 innings against the Royals, allowing two runs while walking one and striking out a pair. Smeltzer left in a tie game so he couldn't factor into the decision, though it was a somewhat successful debut for his new slider. The 24-year-old threw the pitch 15 times and got three swings-and-misses on it. Smeltzer seems to have settled down after allowing five runs and two homers in his first appearance against the White Sox. He likely won't have much fantasy value, considering he's a fill-in starter at this point and will be relegated back to the 'pen when Rich Hill (shoulder) and Homer Bailey (biceps) return.
