Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander Humberto Mejia will start Monday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates, according to Zach Buchanan of The Athletic. He will be recalled from Triple-A and make his first appearance of the season. A corresponding move will be made afterward. Mejia has just 10 career MLB innings under his belt, posting a 5.40 ERA, and hasn't had great success in the minors this season. Across 86.2 innings, he's pitched to a 5.30 ERA with 91 strikeouts and 29 walks. Mejia is a big question mark, and fantasy managers can keep Mejia on the waiver wire. He should collect enough strikeouts, but his ability to keep runs off the board is suspicious.
Miami Marlins starting pitcher Humberto Mejia struggled again in Sunday's start, lasting just 3 2/3 innings while allowing four runs (two earned) on seven hits and two walks. He struck out four in the outing. Mejia has shown some promise, but he has also shown that he needs more development time before he can become a consistent big league contributor. After the game, Marlins manager Don Mattingly admitted that Mejia may end up getting another start based on the team's rotation needs.
