The New York Yankees traded left-handed pitcher Manny Banuelos to the Pittsburgh Pirates for cash considerations on Sunday. The 31-year-old has made four appearances in the majors this year, allowing seven hits, three walks and two earned runs over 8.1 innings. He signed his first MLB contract with the Yankees, but wound up bouncing around the league for a bit before returning to the Bronx on a minor league deal this past offseason. Over 85.1 career MLB innings, he has a 5.91 ERA and a 1.70 WHIP.
The Seattle Mariners have released seven minor league players in the last week, which makes eight total players from March and May. The Mariners released 38 total minor league players in that time frame from 2019. The seven players released this week were outfielders Eliezer Alvarez, Ryan Ramiz and Luis Veloz, starting pitcher Manny Banuelos, third baseman Mitch Nay and first baseman Nick Zammarelli III. Banuelos, 29, was a top pitching prospect with the Yankees, but injuries have hampered him in his career. But the left-hander pitched 50 2/3 innings over 16 appearances (eight starts) for the White Sox last year, posting a 6.93 ERA, 7.82 K/9 and 5.86 BB/9.
The Chicago White Sox placed starting pitcher Manny Banuelos (shoulder) on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday with left shoulder inflammation and recalled reliever Carson Fulmer from Triple-A Charlotte in a corresponding move. Banuelos is 3-4 on the year with a 6.90 ERA and 42 strikeouts in 13 games (eight starts) over 45 2/3 innings. He can continue to be left to the waiver wire in mixed leagues, as this is the second IL stint for the same injury for him in 2019. Fulmer is 1-1 with a 6.97 ERA in eight relief outings (10 1/3 innings) with the Pale Hose this year and is not a fantasy option whatsoever.
Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Manny Banuelos (shoulder) has been activated from the 10-day disabled list on Saturday and will start against the Twins. Banuelos is 2-3 on the year with a scary 7.26 ERA, 1.87 WHIP and 32 strikeouts and 19 walks in 31 innings over nine outings and five starts. He's allowed 10 home runs in those 31 innings, so a matchup against the high-powered Minnesota lineup is nothing that you should want to mess around with in fantasy leagues. You'd be playing with fire if you were bold enough to run with Banuelos in his first start back from the injured list.
Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Manny Banuelos (shoulder) hasn't been named the official starter for Saturday against the Twins, but all signs are "pointing in that direction," according to manager Rick Renteria. In what would be his first start off the injured list on the road against one of the better hitting teams in the American League, Banuelos won't come recommended in fantasy leagues if he gets the nod. The 28-year-old righty is 2-3 with a 7.26 ERA, 1.87 WHIP and 32 strikeouts in 31 innings over nine outings (five starts).
Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Manny Banuelos (shoulder), who is on the injured list with a shoulder strain, felt "great" after throwing long toss and a normal 35-pitch bullpen session on Wednesday. If Banuelos doesn't require a rehab start before returning, he could come off the injured list to start against the Twins on Saturday. The 28-year-old right-hander hasn't been good in his nine outings (five starts), sporting a 7.26 ERA, 1.87 WHIP and 32 strikeouts in 31 innings, so he won't be one to use as a streamer this weekend if he's allowed to face Minnesota.
Chicago White Sox manager Rick Renteria said that starting pitcher Manny Banuelos (shoulder) played catch on Tuesday and will throw a bullpen session on Wednesday before they determine if they want to start him on Saturday against the Twins. The 28-year-old right-hander has a scary 7.26 ERA, 1.87 WHIP and 32 strikeouts to 19 walks in 31 innings (nine games, five starts) for the Pale Hose in 2019. Fantasy owners are going to want to avoid Banuelos in his first start back from injury, especially if it comes against the hot-hitting Twins this weekend.
The Chicago White Sox placed starting pitcher Manny Banuelos (shoulder) on the 10-day injured list on Friday with a left shoulder strain and recalled reliever Jose Ruiz from Triple-A Charlotte in a corresponding move. It'll be Banuelos' 13th career trip to the injured list, which is obviously not a positive. However, both Banuelos and manager Rick Renteria are confident that the pitcher won't be out for long, and he could wind up missing just one start. It won't be Dylan Cease, the team's top pitching prospect, who takes Banuelos' spot in the rotation. Ross Detwiler could be an option to make at least one start, or the White Sox could go with a bullpen game. The 28-year-old Banuelos has a 7.26 ERA, 1.87 WHIP and 32 strikeouts in 32 innings. He's not a must-hold in deeper mixed leagues.
Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Manny Banuelos underwent a MRI on Thursday for his sore left shoulder and the results came back clean. Banuelos exited his start early on Wednesday and manager Rick Renteria says he is day-to-day. Banuelos is scheduled to face a tough Astros lineup on Monday and doesnt offer much upside. He can remain on waivers in all formats.
