Jandel Gustave Fantasy Stats

Free-agent relief pitcher Jandel Gustave agreed to a minor-league deal with the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday that includes an invitation to major-league spring training, according to a source. Gustave had a 3.86 ERA in 27 appearances for the Milwaukee Brewers last season. The 30-year-old Dominican right-hander has five years of major-league experience with the Brewers, San Francisco Giants and Houston Astros. He has a 3.56 career ERA (4.25 FIP), 1.29 WHIP, one save and 18.8 percent strikeout rate in 91 innings over 84 relief appearances. Gustave won't be fantasy relevant in 2023, even if he makes the Diamondbacks' Opening Day bullpen.

Milwaukee Brewers pitchers Adrian Houser and Jandel Gustave have tested positive for COVID-19, according to Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Gustave had already been in quarantine as a possible close contact, but has now officially tested positive. Houser had just tossed 6 1/3 hitless innings on Tuesday against the Pirates in an 8-5 loss. Managers should expect both to be out for a while, and check back for updates to see who will replace them on Milwaukee's roster.

San Francisco Giants relief pitcher Jandel Gustave earned his first career save in Saturday's 1-0 win over the Dodgers. Gustave allowed no runs on no hits and a walk with no strikeouts in the ninth inning. While he has pitched well this season, the more relevant fantasy news was that Giants closer Will Smith was unavailable to pitch due to back tightness, per NBC Sports Bay Area's Alex Pavlovic. Smith has been a huge fantasy asset this season, so owners should monitor his news closely over the next several days.
