Jalen Beeks Fantasy Stats

The Colorado Rockies are trading left-handed reliever Jalen Beeks to the Pittsburgh Pirates. Colorado will receive Double-A left-hander Luis Peralta, who is the younger brother of Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Freddy Peralta. The Pirates haven't gotten consistent results out of southpaw Aroldis Chapman as a high-leverage arm, so they'll hope Beeks provides a bit of stability in late-inning situations ahead of closer David Bednar. Even so, the 31-year-old veteran lefty has a shaky 4.74 ERA and 1.36 WHIP with a 38:18 K:BB and nine saves over 49 1/3 frames out of Colorado's bullpen this season. Justin Lawrence and Tyler Kinley are winners from a fantasy perspective, but they're still in line to share saves with the last-place Rockies. In High-A and Double-A this season, the 23-year-old Peralta has a 0.91 ERA with 64 strikeouts in 39 2/3 innings.

Colorado Rockies relief pitcher Jalen Beeks recorded the final four outs in Thursday's victory versus the Milwaukee Brewers to record his seventh save of the season. Beeks faced the minimum of four batters and recorded one strikeout in his outing. The Rockies haven't officially named a closer and this was the lefties first save since May 31. With the Rockies bullpen being a mess and not many save opportunities being around to gobble up, Beeks can safely remain on the waiver wire in all formats with Tyler Kinley and Justin Lawrence still in the mix to earn saves.

Colorado Rockies relief pitcher Jalen Beeks was called upon to hold a two-run lead versus the Texas Rangers on Sunday. He was able to earn his second save in four days with a scoreless inning during Sunday's victory. It's uncertain what the Rockies are doing with the closer situation right now. It seems that Beeks is going to be in the mix alongside Justin Lawrence. Beeks holds a 2.33 ERA in 19 1/3 innings but has a 14/8 K/BB ratio to go along with it. Beeks isn't a great option, but could be worth a look for fantasy managers despite for saves.

Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Jalen Beeks has been placed on outright waivers. If Beeks goes unclaimed, he will likely elect free-agency to look for another opportunity. Cole Sulser and Josh Fleming were also sent to Triple-A. Beeks, in particular, has been an essential part of the Rays' pitching corps since coming over from the Red Sox in 2018. For his career, Beeks has 274 strikeouts in 277 2/3 innings pitched. The 30-year-old has a career ERA+ of 95, but that's brought down by the 70 he posted in 2023.

Tampa Bay Rays relief pitcher Jalen Beeks was asked to try and shut the door versus the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday. The Rays decided to use Jason Adam in the eighth inning, so he wasn't available for the final frame. The team decided to put Kevin Kelly out there to begin the ninth, but he ended up loading the bases with one out. Beeks stepped in and was able to hold the one-run lead to record his first save of the season. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect Beeks to get many more save chances. He could get an occasional save, but it wouldn't be enough to warrant rostering him.

Tampa Bay Rays right-hander Jalen Beeks will start Friday's matchup with the Los Angeles Dodgers, according to Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times. He has five starts to his name this season but has yet to go more than three innings, so expect more of the same. Beek's sporting lackluster numbers with a 4.68 ERA, 1.20 WHIP, and 20.8% strikeout rate through 25 innings. Cooper Criswell will get the bulk of the innings out of the bullpen on Friday. His ugly 7.94 ERA may turn fantasy managers away, but the 26-year-old has posted a 24.1% strikeout rate and 5.6% walk rate over 11.1 innings. Criswell's fantasy value is limited without a rotation spot, but he can provide managers with a few wins as a piggyback arm in very deep leagues.

Tampa Bay Rays left-hander Jalen Beeks will once again serve as the team's opener on Tuesday against the New York Mets, with right-hander Yonny Chirinos expected to work the bulk innings in relief. Beeks has gone at least two innings in five of his outings this year, including in his last two appearances, but the 29-year-old southpaw won't be of any use as a DFS streamer as the opener. Chirinos will be making his fourth appearance after joining the Rays' rotation, but three of his four outings have been as the bulk reliever. The 29-year-old has a solid 2.22 ERA and 0.99 WHIP in 24 1/3 innings, but he's walked 10 and struck out only nine in his six appearances. Chirinos will be a shaky fantasy play against the Mets.

Tampa Bay Rays lefty Jalen Beeks will open Wednesday's contest against the Baltimore Orioles, according to Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times. With the 29-year-old starting the game, it will be Yonny Chirinos relieving him for some "bulk innings." Beeks has struggled so far out of the bullpen, posting a 6.75 ERA with 11 strikeouts and 10 walks over 16 innings and 13 appearances (two starts). Chirinos has faired much better, as he owns a 1.86 ERA, but has just an 11.1% strikeout rate and 8.3% walk rate with one hold over 19.1 innings. Fantasy managers can lay off both arms in almost every format, as neither will provide very much production.

The Tampa Bay Rays reinstated left-hander Jalen Beeks (leg) from the injured list on Saturday and optioned right-hander Luke Bard to Triple-A Durham in a corresponding move. Beeks will make his return for the second half of the season after landing on the injured list before the All-Star break with right lower leg tightness. The 29-year-old southpaw has been great out of Tampa's bullpen this year, posting a 2.48 ERA and 1.17 WHIP while striking out 49 and walking only 14 in 40 innings over 24 appearances (five starts).

Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Jalen Beeks was given the opportunity to close down the Boston Red Sox on Thursday. Normally, Beeks is the middle man and sometimes used as the opener. He was given a surprise chance to come in as the closer on Thursday. He allowed one run, but was able to eventually close the door on the Red Sox. Beeks has a 2.48 ERA through 40 innings this season. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect Beeks to regularly get save chances in Tampa Bay. He's normally not worth a look as a streaming option unless he is the opener against a struggling team.
