Brett Cecil News
The St. Louis Cardinals released relief pitcher Brett Cecil on Wednesday. Cecil was on the final year of a $30.5 million deal, and was reportedly working on a new sidearm delivery in Summer Camp. Apparently, the new delivery did not impress the Cardinals enough, and now Cecil is a free agent. He could catch on with a team in desperate need of lefty relief, but the Cardinals were all set there, with several lefty relievers already on the roster.
St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher Brett Cecil is working on a new sidearm delivery in Cardinals summer camp. The veteran lefty told reporters he feels like the new angle is "definitely a good thing" for him. Cecil missed all of 2019 due to a variety of injuries and struggled mightily in 2018, posting a 6.89 ERA. The lefty has a history of success before that, though, and he and the Cardinals are hoping for a bounce-back year in his age-34 season. Cecil could be in the mix for holds if he can start getting guys out again, but his recent struggles make him one to avoid in pretty much every format.
St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher Brett Cecil (hamstring) will reportedly be ready to begin throwing off a mound within the next week or two. Cecil is recovering from a severe hamstring injury and has been progressing through his rehab slowly. His throwing program will progress as the team learns more about when the baseball season could get started, but it seems like he's on the right track and hasn't experienced any setbacks yet. Cecil will be a key part of the Cardinals bullpen, but won't provide much fantasy relevance outside of deeper holds leagues.
