Seattle Mariners left-handed pitcher Nick Margevicius cleared waivers on Monday and was outrighted to Triple-A Tacoma. The 25-year-old had been designated for assignment by the franchise last week. The southpaw has had a rough year in the minors, pitching to a 12.75 ERA and a 2.58 WHIP over 12 innings at Triple-A. Last year, he pitched in five games for the Mariners, making three starts, while posting an 8.25 ERA and a 1.67 WHIP.
Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Nick Margevicius was moved to the 60-day injured list Wednesday night, and may miss the remainder of the 2021 season with thoracic outlet syndrome. Margevicius was originally in the major league bullpen to start the year, and moved into the starting rotation after James Paxton's injury. Before Margevicius himself was injured, he managed to appear in five games, three of which were starts, and produced an 8.25 ERA in 12 innings. Now he may not appear in another game this season, and fantasy managers can freely release him to or leave him on the waiver wire.
Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Nick Margevicius (shoulder) will be placed on the 10-day injured list. Margevicius was removed from Sunday's start after only recording one out. He walked four batters in the course of giving up four runs. While results of an MRI are still pending, Margevicius has currently been diagnosed with left shoulder inflammation. Ljay Newsome is expected to take the rotation spot, and Margevicius can be safely dropped in all fantasy leagues.
Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Nick Margevicius endured a disaster of an outing against the Boston Red Sox on Sunday, exiting after only recording a single out. A week after leaving a start mid-batter with arm fatigue, Margevicius once again struggled with his command. He allowed four runs on two hits and four walks, two of which came with the bases loaded. The Mariners previously reported that Margevicius was healthy, but regardless of any injuries, these types of performances keep Margevicius far off the fantasy radar. He shouldn't be on rosters.
Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Nick Margevicius was removed after four one-hit innings Sunday with the suspicion of an injury, but manager Scott Servais reported after the game that Margevicius is just fine. Tests showed no structural damage, and it has been determined that Margevicius was simply suffering from arm fatigue. It is expected that Margevicius will make his next start. Fantasy managers can leave him on the waiver wire despite his apparent good health.
Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Nick Margevicius (arm) was forced out of the game Sunday afternoon with an apparent injury after throwing four innings of one-hit ball against the Houston Astros. He seemed to be suddenly, uncharacteristically wild, and left the field with the athletic trainer. It was Margevicius's second start of the season after replacing the injured James Paxton in the rotation. If Margevicius is forced to miss time, it would appear that Ljay Newsome, who replaced Margevicius for the fifth inning, would be first in line for starts, at least until Logan Gilbert is ready. More information will be forthcoming, but Margevicius can be safely dropped in all leagues whether he misses time or not.
Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Nick Margevicius struggled in three innings Tuesday night against the Baltimore Orioles. Though not assisted by his defense, Margevicius was responsible for six runs, only two of which were earned, on six hits and one walk while striking out four. It was Margevicius's first start of the year, after taking James Paxton's place in the rotation. Through three appearances, he now carries a 7.04 ERA, and is no more than a fantasy streaming option, and only in deep leagues at that.
Seattle Mariners pitcher Nick Margevicius may have lost the battle for the sixth spot in the rotation, but James Paxton's injury may have opened up a new opportunity for him. After Paxton left Tuesday's game with forearm discomfort, Margevicius entered and showed he's still stretched out enough to immediately replace Paxton in the rotation. Margevicius threw 73 pitches over 3 2/3 difficult innings in which he allowed four runs. There's no need for fantasy managers to rush to add Margevicius at this time.
Seattle Mariners pitcher Nick Margevicius has lost the battle for the sixth starting slot in the rotation to Justin Dunn, and will instead pitch out of the bullpen. It had been assumed that whoever did not end up in the rotation would be sent to the minors, but that is apparently not the case. For the moment, despite a strong spring, this leaves Margevicius with negligible fantasy value, though it is highly likely that he will contribute starts at some point this year. Even then, he will start off as no more than a streaming option, and can be ignored in the meantime.
Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Nick Margevicius has possibly made his final appearance of the spring, and if he did, he saved the worst for last. Margevicius threw 3 2/3 innings against Oakland, and allowed four runs on five hits and one walk while striking out four. He also gave up his first two home runs of the spring. Margevicius is locked in a battle with Justin Dunn for the final starting spot in Seattle's rotation, and this outing certainly did little to help his case. Even if he were to win the job, Margevicius will begin the year as no more than a fantasy streaming option with limited strikeout potential.
