Jeurys Familia Stats

The Philadelphia Phillies signed free-agent relief pitcher Jeurys Familia to a $6 million deal on Saturday night. The 31-year-old right-hander has plenty of experience in the ninth inning in his 10-year major league career, as he's saved 125 games in 498 2/3 innings pitched. Familia had just one save for the New York Mets in 2021, but he could enter the closing mix with his new club if Corey Knebel falters or gets injured in Philadelphia. In 65 relief appearances last year, Familia had a decent 3.94 ERA and 1.42 WHIP while striking out 72 and walking 27 in 59 1/3 innings. An All-Star back in 2016, the right-hander will be a closing handcuff for Knebel owners in deeper leagues.

New York Mets relief pitcher Jeurys Familia (hip) was activated from the 10-day injured list on Friday. Familia suffered a right hip impingement on June 21 but had a very successful rehab assignment and was activated on the first day he was eligible. The 31-year-old right-hander has a 3.63 ERA and one save on the season with 24 strikeouts but has also recorded 15 walks in 22 1/3 innings pitched. His numbers began to dip last month and he was credited with a loss back on June 13 after surrendering three hits and four earned runs. Unless you're in a league that also rewards points for holds, Familia can remain on the waiver wire.

New York Mets relief pitcher Jeurys Familia (hip) and catcher Tomas Nido (wrist) will start their rehab assignments with Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday night. Familia is eligible to come off the injured list as soon as Thursday, and Nido is eligible to return on Friday. Familia suffered a right hip impingement at the beginning of last week, but he should be back later this week, barring a setback. The right-handed reliever has a 3.63 ERA and one save on the season, but his 6.0 BB/9 is concerning for anyone that might've been using him in deeper saves/holds leagues. Familia should return to a setup role for New York ahead of closer Edwin Diaz. Nido suffered a right wrist contusion when he was hit by a pitch last Monday. He'll return to a backup role behind James McCann, leaving him little to no fantasy appeal.
