Mike Mayers News
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 (non-designated) was placed on the injured list on Monday, according to Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register. Fletcher adds that the team expects Mayers to return within a few days, and in the meantime they have recalled relief pitcher Patrick Sandoval to replace him on the roster. Mayers has been a good play in SV/HLD formats this season, posting a 2.51 ERA with 18 strikeouts in 14 1/3 innings while recording one save and four holds.

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.
