Tanner Roark News
The Atlanta Braves optioned pitchers Kyle Wright and Ty Tice on Thursday and recalled right-handers Jesse Chavez and Tanner Roark in corresponding moves. To make room for Chavez and Roark on the 40-man roster, Tucker Davidson and Alex Jackson were moved to the 60-day injured list. Wright, 25, had allowed seven earned runs in just 6 1/3 innings of work (9.95 ERA) over two starts for Atlanta this year. He gave up five runs on four hits in two innings in his start against the New York Mets on Wednesday night. Chavez, 37, and Roark, 34, will give the Braves some veteran arms to eat up innings moving forward, but they aren't fantasy options. Chavez hasn't pitched in the big leagues this year, while Roark had a 6.43 ERA and 1.28 WHIP in seven innings with the Blue Jays.
The Atlanta Braves signed starting pitcher Tanner Roark to a minor league deal on Monday, according to a source. Roark was 0-1 with a rough 6.43 ERA and 1.28 WHIP while striking out five and walking two in three outings (one start) covering seven innings for the Toronto Blue Jays before being let go. The 34-year-old right-hander allowed three home runs and has a weak 7.3 career K/9 in nine big league seasons with the Washington Nationals, Blue Jays, Cincinnati Reds and Oakland Athletics. Roark could be a starting option for Atlanta while their rotation gets back to full strength in the short term, but he doesn't have much upside at this point in his career and should remain on the waiver wire in most fantasy leagues.
Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Tanner Roark was designated for assignment on Friday, the team announced on Twitter. Roark made three appearances this season, going 0-1 with a 6.43 ERA and five strikeouts in seven innings of work. He last pitched on April 18, where he tossed 1 1/3 scoreless innings of relief against the Royals.
