Justus Sheffield Stats

The Seattle Mariners designated left-hander Justus Sheffield for assignment on Thursday to make room on the 40-man roster for infielder Tommy La Stella, who was signed to a one-year deal Thursday. Sheffield has pitched in five major-league seasons (four with Seattle) and has gone 12-12 with a 5.47 ERA (4.77 FIP), 1.63 WHIP and 18.2 percent strikeout rate in 186 innings covering 48 appearances (33 starts). Last year in Seattle he had a 3.86 ERA (4.83 FIP), 1.29 WHIP, six walks and seven strikeouts in just 11 2/3 innings over six outings (one start). If Sheffield isn't claimed off waivers or traded to another team, he could return to the organization as both starting and relief depth.

Seattle Mariners pitcher Justus Sheffield has been optioned to Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday. They need to shorten their roster, so it seems that Sheffield is the odd man out. He was excellent out of the bullpen for the Mariners. He threw 4 2/3 scoreless innings during his time at the big leagues this season. Although, the Mariners are likely sending him to the minors, so he can stretch out as a starting pitcher. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect Sheffield to remain in the minors for too long.

Seattle Mariners pitcher Justus Sheffield (forearm) was activated from the 10-day injured list on Wednesday. He went on to appear in the team's game against the Houston Astros on Wednesday, making his first relief outing of the year. He pitched a scoreless sixth inning, allowing one hit and no walks without striking anyone out. He also earned the win, improving his record to 6-8 on the year. Sheffield was sidelined for nearly two months due to a left forearm strain. It's been a rough year for him as he's posted a 6.39 ERA and a 1.77 WHIP over 16 games (15 starts). It's unclear at this point if he'll remain in the bullpen or join the rotation again. Either way, he can be left on waivers in all fantasy leagues.
