Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Odrisamer Despaigne picked up a quality start in his season debut for the Chicago White Sox on Monday versus the Nationals. Despaigne went six innings and allowed seven hits, three runs, two walks and two strikeouts. Despite the quality start, Despaigne suffered the loss. Despaigne owns a career 4.94 ERA in 106 games and doesnt have enough upside to be considered in all formats. Despaigne will face the Yankees this weekend and should be avoided in that matchup.
Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Odrisamer Despaigne will make the start versus the Washington Nationals on Monday. The veteran righty has poor numbers in the MLB, but has pitched well during his time in the minors. Despaigne has a 3.34 ERA through 11 starts in the minors this season. He's not a trustworthy fantasy option, so look elsewhere for help.
Los Angeles Angels pitcher Odrisamer Despaigne will start on Thursday against the Mariners. Despaigne isn't worth your time in fantasy as a streamer. The soft-tossing right-hander has a 6.40 ERA, 1.79 WHIP and 6.8 K/9 over 15 outings (four starts) between the Marlins and Angels this year.

It just shows how desperate the Angels are for rotation help at the moment. The veteran right-hander was recently acquired from the Marlins after going 2-0 with a 5.31 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 8.0 K/9 over 11 outings (one start) covering 20 1/3 innings. Despaigne allowed four runs on six hits in five innings in a loss to the Cubs on Mar 31 in his lone start this year. He's a very poor streaming option on Friday.
Los Angeles Angels manager Mike Scioscia said pitcher Odrisamer Despaigne, acquired on Tuesday for cash considerations from the Marlins, will join the team in the next few days and join the starting rotation. It gives you an idea of how desperate the Angels are for starters right now. The veteran Despaigne had a 5.31 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and just 18 strikeouts in 20 1/3 innings over 11 outings (one start) for the Fish in 2018. It's best if you avoid him in most fantasy leagues.
The Los Angeles Angels have acquired long reliever Odrisamer Despaigne from the Miami Marlins. In a corresponding move, the team designated reliever Dayan Diaz for assignment.

The 31-year-old has a 5.31 ERA and a 1.47 WHIP on the year, with an 18/8 K/BB ratio in 20 1/3 innings. He is not fantasy relevant in any formats.
Odrisamer Despaigne Activated from DL, Dillon Peters Optioned
The Miami Marlins activated reliever Odrisamer Despaigne (forearm) from the 10-day disabled list on Monday, and in a corresponding move optioned reliever Dillon Peters to Triple-A New Orleans, reports Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald. Peters did not make an appearance for the Marlins in his most recent stint in the majors, leaving his season totals at a 6.31 ERA and 1.63 WHIP over 25 2/3 innings. Despaigne has not pitched since April 19 after landing on the disabled list with a right forearm strain. Over eight appearances this season prior to his injury, Despaigne had allowed 11 runs (10 earned) on 16 hits and four walks with 12 strikeouts over 14 2/3 innings. The Marlins will hope that Despaigne's return will provide support to a bullpen prone to imploding, but fantasy owners should not look to add Despaigne in any leagues.
The Miami Marlins have sent pitcher Odrisamer Despaigne to the bullpen after manager Don Mattingly decided to move to a four-man rotation, according to MLB.com's Joe Frisaro. Despaigne picked up the win during Miami's 17-inning marathon against the Cubs last week, but was roughed up for five runs in his scheduled start the next day. On the season, Despaigne is 1-0 with a 5.63 ERA and seven strikeouts.
Miami Marlins right-hander Odrisamer Despaigne turned in a quality start against the Atlanta Braves on Saturday. In his final start of the season, Despaigne fired seven innings of two-run ball, striking out six. Despaigne wound up being a pleasant surprise for the Marlins this season, finishing with a 2-3 record, 4.01 ERA, 1.39 WHIP, and 31 strikeouts in 58 1/3 innings of work. He spent time between the bullpen and starting rotation in 2017 but will hope to compete for a spot in the rotation in 2018. Still, his low strikeout rate caps his fantasy upside.
