Ljay Newsome Fantasy Stats

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.

Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Ljay Newsome (elbow) exited Saturday's outing against Texas. The 24-year-old lasted only an inning and was pulled after suffering inflammation in his right elbow. The righty doesn't offer much of an upside, so fantasy managers likely won't lose any sleep if he ends up taking a trip to the 10-day injured list, especially after posting a miserable 5.83 ERA throughout his career.

Seattle Mariners pitcher Ljay Newsome (elbow) left Saturday's game with an injury after completing only one inning. Newsome entered after starter Erik Swanson, and was expected to throw multiple innings as a bulk pitcher, but exited with what was later deemed right elbow inflammation. In his one inning, Newsome allowed three runs on four hits while striking out two. Hopefully Newsome won't be forced to miss much time, but regardless he should be left on fantasy waiver wires.

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Ljay Newsome made his first start of the year Saturday night, and it could not have gone worse. Facing the Angels, Newsome allowed eight runs on seven hits and two walks in only two innings of work. He allowed three home runs and struck out one. Newsome had no trouble throwing strikes, but unfortunately he was catching a ton of plate and the Angels were taking advantage. Newsome took the loss in this one, and didn't look like a player fantasy managers will want to go anywhere near. Leave him on the waiver wire.

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Ljay Newsome will take the place of the injured Nick Margevicius in the starting rotation. After Margevicius exited Sunday's contest, LJay Newsome pitched four scoreless innings to end the game, allowing only two hits and striking out four. It remains to be seen how many starts Newsome will make, as Seattle has several opportunities to skip the sixth spot in their rotation in early May with several off days. For now, Newsome belongs on the waiver wire.

Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Ljay Newsome was called on Sunday to throw the final four innings against the Boston Red Sox. The Mariners were in dire need of some length, given that starting pitcher Nick Margevicius left after only recording one out. He performed admirably, allowing no runs on two hits while striking out four. There has not been a report as of yet that Margevicius has any type of injury or will miss time, but if that were to arise, Newsome would be the top candidate to replace him in the six-man rotation. Regardless, he would not currently be a consideration for fantasy rosters

Seattle Mariners pitcher Ljay Newsome entered in the fifth inning of Sunday's contest after starter Nick Margevicius was forced to leave with an injury. Newsome struck out one batter in two perfect innings and received credit for the win. It was the first of his career, and came in a game where the Mariners pitching staff combined to throw a six-man one-hitter. With James Paxton out for the year, and Margevicius's status in question, Newsome could possibly be moved into the rotation. He is not a fantasy consideration for the time being.

Seattle Mariners pitcher Ljay Newsome was recalled from the alternate site Wednesday, following James Paxton's placement on the injured list with a left forearm strain. Newsome will slot into the bullpen, as Nick Margevicius takes Paxton's place in the rotation. Newsome is not fantasy relevant at this time, but this does make him the next in line, along with prospect Logan Gilbert, should there be any further injuries.
