Wilmer Font News
The San Diego Padres agreed to a minor-league deal with free-agent right-hander Wilmer Font on Thursday. The deal includes an invitation to major-league spring training. Font returns to the big leagues after posting a 3.03 ERA with a 24.5 percent strikeout rate over 28 starts in Korea over the last two seasons for the SSG Landers of the Korea Baseball Organization. The 32-year-old will likely stay stretched out this spring in order to give the Friars some more back-end rotation depth in case Nick Martinez and Seth Lugo don't pan out. In parts of six major-league seasons with the Rays, Dodgers, Rangers, Blue Jays, Mets and A's, Font had a 5.82 ERA (5.41 FIP), 1.48 WHIP and 22.3 percent strikeout rate in 151 2/3 frames over 96 outings (22 starts).
Toronto Blue Jays relief pitcher Wilmer Font has been named the opener for Sunday's game against the New York Yankees. Right-hander Trent Thornton will follow him out of the bullpen and pitch a bulk of the innings. Font has a 2.65 ERA and 46/8 K/BB ratio over 34 innings this season with the Jays. It's not a helpful situation for DFS contests, but this could be a solid formula for the Jays.
Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Wilmer Font will draw the start versus the New York Yankees on Saturday. Jacob Waguespack was expected to draw the start, but he will come out of the bullpen in this one. Font will act as an opener and pitch the first inning or two of this one. This is not a situation worth looking at in fantasy leagues. The Yankees have a strong offense and should be able to have a nice day at the plate.
