Drew Pomeranz Fantasy Stats

Chicago Cubs relief pitcher Drew Pomeranz has been named the opener for Saturday's Game 5 of the NLDS versus the Milwaukee Brewers. It looks like the Cubs are using a bullpen game in this elimination contest. The veteran left-hander has been solid for the Cubs both in the regular season and postseason. So far, Pomeranz has allowed only one run across five innings this postseason. It's unclear who will follow Pomeranz, but the veteran southpaw figures to only pitch the opening frame.

Chicago Cubs relief pitcher Drew Pomeranz has been named the opener for Sunday's game against the Washington Nationals. Pomeranz is set to serve as the opener for the fourth time this season. The southpaw holds a 2.45 ERA, 1.14 WHIP, with a 42/13 K/BB ratio across 40.1 innings this season. Pomeranz has only pitched more than one inning just three times so far. He's unlikely to pitch deep enough into the game to warrant streaming appeal.

Chicago Cubs left-hander Drew Pomeranz will serve as the team's opener on Saturday at Wrigley Field against the division-rival St. Louis Cardinals, according to manager Craig Counsell. It's unclear who will work as the bulk reliever for the Cubbies in Game 2 of the divisional series, but it's most likely to be left-hander Jordan Wicks, who was called up from Triple-A Iowa on Friday with righty Jameson Taillon (calf) going on the 15-day injured list. In both of his opening assignments this year, Pomeranz has gone an inning apiece, so he should be avoided for fantasy purposes, even though the 36-year-old veteran has yet to allow a run in 2025 in 23 1/3 innings pitched. In addition to his 23 1/3 scoreless frames for Chicago, Pomeranz has a 0.90 WHIP, a save, 23 punchouts and seven walks.

Chicago Cubs left-hander Drew Pomeranz was unavailable in Sunday's series finale against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Wrigley Field due to his recent workload and not really because of the lower-back tightness he felt during his appearance in Saturday's game in the eighth inning. The Athletic's Patrick Mooney writes that the Cubs will be careful with the oft-injured 36-year-old veteran southpaw, who didn't pitch in the big leagues in the last three years. Since the Cubs acquired him from the Seattle Mariners in April, Pomeranz has yet to give up an earned run while walking five, striking out 16 and picking up one save in 18 1/3 innings over 20 appearances (two starts). Pomeranz picked up his fourth hold of the year on Saturday despite not being 100% physically. He should be available for the start of this week's series against the Brewers on Tuesday.

Chicago Cubs left-handed reliever Drew Pomeranz will serve as the opener for Saturday's game against the division-rival Cincinnati Reds at Wrigley Field, according to 670 The Score's Bruce Levine. After Pomeranz goes for an inning or two at most, right-hander Ben Brown is expected to serve in the bulk-relief role. The 36-year-old Pomeranz will be making his 15th appearances of the year with the Cubbies and his first "start" since 2019. He's been lights-out in 12 2/3 innings so far in 2025 with no earned runs allowed while walking three and striking out 14, but he isn't a realistic option as a fantasy streamer in what will likely just be an inning of work against Cincy. Pomeranz hasn't gone more than 1 1/3 innings in his 14 appearances for Chicago this year, and that came way back on April 26 in his second outing of the season.

The Seattle Mariners have decided to trade left-handed relief pitcher Drew Pomeranz to the Chicago Cubs on Monday. The veteran southpaw reportedly has an upward-mobility clause in his contract. That means that the Mariners needed to offer Pomeranz to every team, and if there was an organization willing to promote him, then he needed to be traded there or recalled to Seattle's bullpen. He'll be sent to Chicago after posting a 4.66 ERA with 14 strikeouts and six walks in 9 2/3 innings in Triple-A. Pomeranz hasn't pitched in the MLB since 2021, so it's unclear what exactly the Cubs are going to get here.

The Seattle Mariners are signing left-handed pitcher Drew Pomeranz to a minor-league contract. Pomeranz spent time in Seattle earlier in camp but will return to them on a minor league deal. Fantasy managers should expect Pomeranz to begin the campaign with Triple-A Tacoma. Pomeranz has not appeared in an MLB contest since the 2021 campaign. Last summer, the southpaw spent time in Triple-A with the Oklahoma City Baseball Club. He logged just eight innings of work and allowed six earned runs. Over the past few seasons, he has dealt with several injuries. He underwent left elbow flexor tendon surgery during the 2023 campaign. Across 858 career frames in the majors, the 36-year-old posted a 3.91 ERA and a 1.35 WHIP. He will likely face an uphill battle to return to the big leagues this season.

The Seattle Mariners have signed pitcher Drew Pomeranz to a minor-league contract. Pomeranz hasn't pitched in the majors since 2021 when he underwent Tommy John surgery and experienced setbacks in his recovery efforts. The 2024 season was spent in the Dodgers' organization, although the lefty tossed only nine innings for the Triple-A affiliate. The veteran will likely need to prove he's still got something left in the tank before we see him in the majors in 2025, so for now he doesn't move the needle for fantasy. Once upon a time in 2016, the now-36-year-old was an All-Star, so perhaps if he's 100% healthy then there could be something there. For his career, Pomeranz has a 3.91 ERA, 1.35 WHIP, and a 14.0% K-BB% which is a tad low due to his tendency to walk batters at an above-average rate.

The San Francisco Giants have signed relief pitcher Drew Pomeranz to a one-year deal. The veteran southpaw was released by the Los Angeles Dodgers on Thursday. Pomeranz struggled to the tune of a 6.00 ERA in eight appearances for Triple-A Oklahoma City. The 35-year-old hasn't pitched in the majors since 2021 due to multiple injuries. This is a low-risk signing for the Giants to see if Pomeranz has anything left in the tank.

The Los Angeles Dodgers signed free-agent left-hander Drew Pomeranz to a minor-league deal on Friday, and he's set to be assigned to Triple-A Oklahoma City. The nine-year major-league veteran reliever has been beleaguered by injuries the last two years. Pomeranz was with the Los Angeles Angels in spring training but was recently released. The 35-year-old southpaw hasn't pitched in the majors since 2021 with the San Diego Padres due to injuries, when he was outstanding with a 1.75 ERA (3.01 FIP) and 1.13 WHIP with 10 walks and 30 strikeouts in 25 2/3 relief innings. He'll bring plenty of relief experience to the organization, but nobody should be expecting him to contribute much at the major-league level given his struggles with injuries in recent seasons.
