Ljay Newsome News
St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Ljay Newsome (elbow) was claimed off waivers from the Seattle Mariners Friday. Newsome threw 30 1/3 innings in his Mariners career, working to a 6.53 ERA in 12 appearances and five starts. He is currently recovering from Tommy John surgery. It is not expected that he will be ready to start the 2022 season, but he figures to be a depth option both in the bullpen and the starting rotation in St. Louis. Fantasy managers don't need to take note until midseason next year at the earliest.
Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Ljay Newsome(elbow) was moved to the 60-day injured list Wednesday night and could possibly miss the rest of the season with a UCL injury. Newsome is reportedly considering Tommy John surgery. Originally assigned to the alternate site, Newsome was elevated to the major league rotation after a rash of injuries to Seattle's starters. Newsome only pitched 14 2/3 innings and had a 7.98 ERA before suffering the injury. Fantasy managers can of course leave Newsome on the waiver wire for now.
Seattle Mariners pitcher Ljay Newsome (elbow) landed on the 10-day injured list Sunday. Newsome has been diagnosed with "right elbow inflammation." JT Chargois was called up to the majors from the taxi squad to take his place on the roster. The injury popped up during Saturday night's contest with the Texas Rangers. The team was counting on Newsome to pitch multiple innings, but instead he was only able to complete one, allowing three runs in the process. Newsome can be dropped in all leagues, and the biggest fantasy question now is who will get the vacated innings for the Mariners. They've been committed to a six-man rotation, but are currently down James Paxton, Marco Gonzales, and now Newsome. Perhaps top pitching prospect Logan Gilbert's timeline could be moved up.
