Justus Sheffield Stats

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.

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Justus Sheffield (oblique) struggled heavily during his rehab start with Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday. He lasted an inning 1/3 while allowing four runs and walking five batters. Sheffield does have the ability to get MLB hitters out, but this was just a bad outing. Clearly, he needs more time in the minors before he's ready to return to Seattle. The 25-year-old has been out since the beginning of July with a Grade 2 oblique strain. He wasn't reliable when healthy, so Sheffield can remain on the waiver wire.

Seattle Mariners pitcher Justus Sheffield (forearm) threw a 35-pitch simulated game on Tuesday, and will go on a rehab assignment this weekend, according to Daniel Kramer of MLB.com. Sheffield has been sidelined since the beginning of July with a left flexor strain, but prior to then he had gone 5-8 with a 6.48 ERA, 1.778 WHIP and 16.9 percent strikeout rate over 73 2/3 innings of work. There really isn't a ton of upside with Sheffield currently, so even when healthy he can be left on the waiver wire in the majority of formats.
