Mike Mayers News
The Kansas City Royals signed free-agent right-hander Mike Mayers to a minor-league deal on Thursday. Mayers became a free agent this offseason after he rejected an outright assignment from the Los Angeles Angels. The 31-year-old reliever posted a 5.68 ERA (6.37 FIP), a 1.38 WHIP and 45 strikeouts in 50 2/3 innings over 24 appearances (three starts) for the Halos in 2022. There's a good chance he'll see action in the big leagues for the Royals in 2023, and he could even make the Opening Day roster out of spring training. Mayer has a career 5.10 ERA (4.63 FIP), five saves, a 1.40 WHIP and a 24 percent strikeout rate in 236 1/3 innings over 198 outings (six starts). He won't carry any fantasy value.
Los Angeles Angels right-hander Mike Mayers will get the start on Wednesday against the Tampa Bay Rays. It will be Mayers' first start of the season for the Angels after 18 relief appearances in which he's posted a 5.22 ERA, 1.29 WHIP, 27 strikeouts and nine walks in 29 1/3 innings pitched. He's thrown 9 1/3 innings in his last two outings in long relief, so he's stretched out enough to make a spot start this week. Mayers surrendered seven earned runs on 10 hits (four home runs) while walking one and striking out nine in those last two outings, so fantasy managers should be looking elsewhere on Wednesday.
Los Angeles Angels relief pitcher Mike Mayers has had his contract selected from Triple-A Salt Lake and will join the team's 40-man roster. The 30-year-old righty was outrighted to the minors back in early June but has now made his way back to the majors. He posted a poor 5.40 ERA, 1.44 WHIP, and 14:6 K/BB ratio over 16 2/3 innings (15 appearances) earlier this season. He'll add some depth to the Los Angeles bullpen but doesn't offer a whole lot of fantasy value.

Los Angeles Angels relief pitcher Mike Mayers turned in a strong performance in 2020. It was backed up by a 16% swinging-strike rate and an elite 36% strikeout rate. The change in scenery from St. Louis to Los Angeles did him well. But you should expect some regression in 2021. With a .242 BABIP and a fortunate 6% HR/FB rate in the shortened 2020 season, coupled with just a 33% ground-ball rate, his ERA is primed for negative regression. If you are looking for a middle reliever in 2021 with a high strikeout rate, Mayers might be your man. But don't expect the thrilling ~2.00 ERA and sub-1.00 WHIP to occur once again. Mayers is unlikely to see many save chances behind closer Raisel Iglesias, either.
