Ryan Tepera News
Texas Rangers relief pitcher Ryan Tepera has decided to opt out of his minor-league deal with the organization. The 35-year-old signed a minor-league deal with the team last month after being released by the Los Angeles Angels. He struggled heavily during his time with the Angels, but pitched well in the minors. Tepera didn't allow a run across 10 innings of work with 16 strikeouts in the minors with Texas. The nine-year veteran has experienced plenty of success throughout his career. It's possible another organization will give him a chance on their MLB roster.
The Texas Rangers signed free-agent relief pitcher Ryan Tepera to a minor-league deal on Wednesday. He'll stay in the American League West and will report to Triple-A Round Rock after choosing free agency at the end of May. Tepera spent the last year and a half pitching for the Los Angeles Angels, and he had a rough 7.27 ERA (5.70 FIP), 2.08 WHIP, three walks and 10 strikeouts in 8 2/3 relief innings for the Halos this year. The 35-year-old veteran right-hander will provide organizational relief depth for Texas for the time being, but he's well off the fantasy radar. In nine big-league seasons with four different teams, Tepera has a 3.59 career ERA (4.06 FIP), 1.13 WHIP, 18 saves and a 24.5 percent strikeout rate in 363 1/3 innings pitched.
Los Angeles Angels relief pitcher Ryan Tepera landed on the 15-day injured list on Sunday. The right-hander exited Saturday's matchup with the Red Sox and will now go on the shelf because of shoulder inflammation. Tepera has struggled this season, sporting a 1-1 record with two holds. He also has a miserable 11.25 ERA in six relief appearances. Hopefully, some time away will help the 35-year-old get on track. Either way, he has some work to do before earning a place on fantasy rosters. In a corresponding move, LA recalled righty Andrew Wantz from Triple-A Salt Lake.
