Roansy Contreras Stats

Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Roansy Contreras looked sharp in his start in Tuesday's 2-1 extra-innings loss to the Rockies. Contreras tossed 5 shutout innings, allowing three hits and two walks with five strikeouts. The 22-year-old prospect brings a high-velocity fastball and slider, so the strikeout potential is there, as well as the fantasy potential. His next start would be a tough one at the Dodgers if he sticks in the rotation, and fantasy managers should wait to see more from him regardless of matchup before trusting him. That being said, Contreras is currently rostered in 23 percent of leagues and that number will likely rise in the coming days, so fantasy managers who are interested may want to pick him up sooner than later and stash him on their benches until they can see more.

The Pittsburgh Pirates have recalled right-hander Roansy Contreras from the minors in order for him to start on Tuesday against the Colorado Rockies. In three relief outings for Pittsburgh this year, he's allowed three earned runs while walking three and striking out 10 in 7 2/3 innings. Contreras has fanned 14 hitters in 10 2/3 career major league innings over the last two years, so he certainly has strikeout upside. The 22-year-old Dominican had a 2.66 ERA, 1.18 WHIP, 11 walks and 24 strikeouts in five starts over 20 1/3 innings for Triple-A Indianapolis before his call-up. Contreras will be a deep DFS streaming sleeper for those feeling lucky on Tuesday.

The Pittsburgh Pirates optioned right-handed pitcher Roansy Contreras to Triple-A on Thursday. Fellow right-hander Chase De Jong was called up in a corresponding move. The Pirates had been using Contreras in long relief this year. He made three appearances and pitched 7.2 innings. Over that stretch, he allowed four hits, three walks and three earned runs while striking out 10. Contreras will most certainly be back in a starting pitching role now that he's back at Triple-A. Last year, over 13 starts spread across Double-A and Triple-A, he had a 2.64 ERA and a 0.93 WHIP while averaging 12.7 K/9. We'll likely see him back up in the majors at some point relatively soon.
