Lucas Luetge News
Free-agent left-hander Lucas Luetge announced on Saturday that he has signed an undisclosed deal to join the Boston Red Sox for the 2024 campaign. The 36-year-old southpaw had a rough 7.24 ERA (4.86 FIP) and 1.76 WHIP with seven walks and 14 strikeouts in just 13 2/3 relief innings for the Atlanta Braves last year. As a result, the Braves outrighted him to Triple-A Gwinnett after he went unclaimed following being designated for assignment. In 22 relief appearances for Gwinnett and Double-A Mississippi, Luetge had a 3.51 ERA and 1.36 WHIP with nine walks and 29 strikeouts in 25 2/3 innings pitched. He'll represent relief depth as a lefty for Boston entering the 2024 season and he has a career 3.60 ERA (3.55 FIP), a 1.37 WHIP, five saves and 226 strikeouts in 232 1/3 innings over seven major-league seasons with the Braves, Mariners and Yankees.
The Atlanta Braves selected the contract of left-hander Lucas Luetge from Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday and designated right-hander Roddery Munoz for assignment in a corresponding move. The Braves sent Luetge to the minors in early June after he allowed 11 earned runs on 15 hits while walking six and striking out 10 in 9 2/3 relief innings earlier this year. But the 36-year-old southpaw reliever has earned another shot at the major-league level by posting a 3.18 ERA, 0.97 WHIP, one walk and 11 strikeouts in 11 1/3 relief innings for Gwinnett and Double-A Mississippi. For the time being, Luetge will give the Braves bullpen some extra depth to begin the second half of the season with Nick Anderson (shoulder) going on the 60-day injured list on Thursday.
Left-hander Lucas Luetge and the Atlanta Braves avoided arbitration after agreeing to a one-year, $1.55 million deal. Luetge was waived by the Yankees during the offseason and traded to the Braves a few weeks ago. The 35-year-old made quite an impact for the Yankees in 2022 after molding a 2.67 ERA across 50 appearances. He whiffed 60 batters with a 23.9% strikeout rate. Along with Wandy Peralta, Luetge was the only lefty arm out of the Yankees bullpen. He provided consecutive sub-three ERA's in the two years that he spent in the Bronx, and the southpaw will likely display similar numbers in Atlanta. Luetge will make a fantasy impact if you are looking for a dependable bullpen arm.
