Edinson Vólquez News
Texas Rangers right-handed pitcher Edinson Volquez has been bitten by the injury bug again, landing on the 45-day injured list due to a right oblique strain. Volquez has vultured two wins out of relief thus far in 2020, but it appears that his season is likely done after just seven appearances. Having battled back from multiple injuries over the past few years, Volquez figured to be a vital cog in the Texas bullpen, even as he was yet to receive a save chance this season. He can safely be dropped to the waiver wire in all formats.
The Texas Rangers added right-handed pitchers Juan Nicasio and Edinson Volquez to their summer camp roster as non-roster players on Thursday. Their summer camp squad currently sits at 57 players. Nicasio, 34 in August, made 47 relief appearances for the Phillies last year and had a 4.75 ERA, 1.65 WHIP, 8.6 K/9 and one save in 47 1/3 frames. He has some starting experience as well, making 82 starts in his career, but he hasn't started a game since 2016 with Pittsburgh. Both players will strictly be veteran depth in 2020. Volquez, 37 on Friday, missed all of 2018 with an injury and had a 6.75 ERA and 2.00 WHIP in 11 games (four starts) with Texas last year. He was planning on retiring after the 2019 season, but he's had a change of heart.
The Texas Rangers and pitcher Edinson Volquez are working on a deal now that Volquez has changed his mind on retiring. Volquez made 11 appearances (four starts) for Texas last year and was not effective, posting a 6.75 ERA, 2.00 WHIP and 5.6 K/9 in his 16 innings. It's unlikely that he's making starts in Texas in 2020 if he's in the big leagues. Expect his deal to be a minor league pact. The veteran right-hander won't have much fantasy appeal if he's pitching for Texas next season.
