Jake Faria News
Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Jake Faria had his contract selected from Triple-A Worcester on Sunday. He is taking the roster spot of Chris Martin (shoulder), who was just placed on the 15-day injured list. Faria hasn't looked good in the minors this season, posting a 10.80 ERA and 2:00 WHIP over five innings so it's unclear how long his stay with the big league club will last. There is zero fantasy value here.
The Boston Red Sox signed former Tampa Bay Rays right-hander Jake Faria to a minor-league deal on Saturday, according to a source. Faria began his MLB career mostly as a starter for the Rays in 2017 and 2018, but he's mostly served as a reliever in two seasons since then. The 29-year-old didn't pitch in the majors at all in 2022 and had a 5.51 ERA (4.58 FIP), 1.59 WHIP, 13 walks and 32 strikeouts in 23 appearances (three starts) over 32 2/3 innings pitched for the Arizona Diamondbacks. Faria had a rough 7.48 ERA in 12 outings (nine starts) at Triple-A St. Paul with the Minnesota Twins in 2022. He'll give the Red Sox some starting and relieving pitching depth in 2023 but won't be on the fantasy radar at all if he's in the big leagues.
The Arizona Diamondbacks have announced that right-hander Jake Faria will make the start on Saturday against the San Francisco Giants. Faria made his first start of the year for the D-backs on Monday against the St. Louis Cardinals and impressed, giving up just an earned run on three hits while striking out three and walking none in four innings. The 27-year-old has a nice 3.38 ERA, 0.87 WHIP and 23.5 percent strikeout rate for the Snakes, but it has come with the extremely small sample size of just eight innings. Faria has an opportunity to impress again, but he'll be facing the first-place Giants and isn't a good candidate to go deep into this game, for obvious reasons. Consider Faria a poor streaming choice in fantasy on Saturday in his second start of the year.
