Luke Gregerson News
Former St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher Luke Gregerson cleared waivers and has been unconditionally released, making him a free agent. It is difficult to see the 35-year-old Gregerson catch a significant role with someone else given his struggles (7.94 ERA in just 5 2/3 innings this year) and the fact that no team put a claim in on him. He had good success from 2009-16, including 31 saves in 2015, but now appears to be nearing the end given his climbing ERA and peripherals since 2017. Any fantasy relevance has been lacking for some time.
The St. Louis Cardinals have officially placed right-handed relief pitcher Luke Gregerson on waivers. The 35-year-old had pitched in six games for the Cardinals this season, in which he was lit up for a 7.94 ERA and gave up 11 hits and five runs in just 5 2/3 innings of work. His Cardinals career comes to a close with (remarkably) a 0-0 record, but a 7.36 ERA in 18 appearances across the past two seasons.
The St. Louis Cardinals activated pitcher Carlos Martinez (shoulder) from the injured list on Friday and designated reliever Luke Gregerson for assignment in a corresponding move. Reliever Ryan Helsley was also recalled from Triple-A Memphis and reliever Dominic Leone was sent down. Martinez, a two-time All-Star had missed the first 44 games of the year with a strained right shoulder. Because he hasn't been able to stay healthy the last two years, he'll return to the bullpen. The 27-year-old won't have much fantasy appeal in relief, but he still could return to the rotation at some point in 2019 if he proves worthy. Gregerson, 35, allowed five runs and 11 hits in 5 2/3 innings in six relief outings after coming off the injured list on May 4.
