Mike Fiers News
Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Mike Fiers (elbow) has "hit a snag" during his rehab stint, according to Athletics trainer Nick Paparesta. What exactly this "snag" entails has not been released, but any setback makes it seem very unlikely that we'll see Fiers back in the majors before the end of the regular season. The veteran has been out since early May due to a sprained right elbow. He threw 34 pitches in what was said to be a successful rehab outing at Triple-A this past Saturday, but something clearly came up in the days following the outing.
Oakland Athletics right-hander Mike Fiers (elbow) is "still having some problems" and is not comfortable throwing, according to manager Bob Melvin. Fiers doesn't have any structural damage in his right elbow, but he did receive a platelet-rich plasma injection for his sprained elbow. With the second half of the season about to begin later this week, it's realistic to wonder if the 36-year-old will make it back in 2021. Fiers wasn't good in two starts before suffering his injury, either, allowing eight earned runs on 15 hits (four home runs) while striking out five and walking four over 9 1/3 innings. The veteran starter also has a mediocre 20.5 percent career strikeout rate in 11 big league seasons, so there's absolutely no reason to be holding onto him in redraft leagues.
Oakland Athletics right-hander Mike Fiers (elbow) likely won't throw for at least another four weeks after receiving a platelet-rich plasma injection in his sprained right elbow. Fiers, who last pitched on May 6, won't need surgery after he felt pain while trying to resume throwing last week, according to manager Bob Melvin. The veteran visited with Dr. James Andrews on Wednesday and has made only two starts this year. Fiers missed the first 22 games of 2021 due to a lumbar strain and then went on the injured list on May 8 with his elbow injury. The A's still think there's a possibility that the 36-year-old will pitch again this year, but fantasy managers may not want to be as optimistic. He allowed eight earned runs (four home runs) in 9 1/3 innings in his two starts before his elbow injury.
