Robert Gsellman Fantasy Stats

Free-agent right-hander Robert Gsellman signed a minor-league deal with the Washington Nationals on Wednesday. He'd make $900,000 if he's in the majors in 2024. Gsellman spent last year pitching in Japan, where he posted a 4.32 ERA and 1.52 WHIP in 139 2/3 innings pitched. In 2022 with the Chicago Cubs, he only pitched 15 1/3 innings at the major-league level and allowed 10 runs (eight earned) on 17 hits (two homers) while walking three and striking out nine. In parts of seven major-league seasons, Gsellman has a 4.60 ERA (4.30 FIP) and 1.39 WHIP with 15 saves, 126 walks and 289 strikeouts in 366 innings over 184 appearances (34 starts) for the Cubs and New York Mets. The 30-year-old will most likely begin the 2024 campaign at Triple-A Rochester and give Washington some minor-league relief depth to open the year.

The Chicago Cubs are agreeing to an undisclosed deal with free-agent right-hander Robert Gsellman on Thursday, according to a source. The Cubs have been busy on Thursday, also adding veteran infielder Jonathan Villar and left-handed pitcher Daniel Norris to major league deals. Gsellman spent his first six MLB seasons with the New York Mets, posting a 4.59 ERA and 1.40 WHIP with 14 saves in 176 appearances (34 starts) covering 350 2/3 innings. He had a 3.77 ERA and 1.19 WHIP with 17 strikeouts and seven walks in 28 2/3 innings (one start) while being limited with a lat injury. The 28-year-old is likely to serve in a middle-relief role if he's on the Cubs major league roster, making it highly unlikely he'll be fantasy relevant.

The New York Mets non-tendered reliever Robert Gsellman, right-hander Stephen Nogosek and outfielder Mark Payton on Tuesday, making them all free-agents. The 28-year-old Gsellman missed most of the 2021 season while rehabbing a torn right lat muscle. He had a 3.77 ERA in 28 2/3 innings and was more effective than he was in 2020, but he only struck out 17 batters and had an FIP of 4.29. Gsellman made $1.3 million last season and would have been due a modest raise through the arbitration process. The 13th-round pick in 2016 should be able to land another job in a bullpen with his mid-90s heater with some starting experience.

The New York Mets activated relief pitcher Robert Gsellman (lat) from the 60-day injured list on Saturday. Starting pitcher Tylor Megill was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move. Gsellman should get at least one appearance out of the bullpen this weekend. He was sidelined for over three months with a right lat strain. The 28-year-old has appeared in 15 games this year and he has a 3.71 ERA and a 1.20 WHIP. He has been much more effective on the mound this year than last year, when he had an ugly 9.64 ERA and 2.14 WHIP.

New York Mets relief pitcher Robert Gsellman (lat) is expected to be out until at least August with a torn lat, according to Anthony DiComo of MLB.com. Gsellman was placed on the 10-day injured list earlier in the day with what was originally announced as a lat strain, but now he's expected to miss six to eight weeks with this injury. Prior to this injury, Gsellman had not looked very impressive this season, posting a 3.71 ERA with a 13.6 percent strikeout rate over 26 2/3 innings of work. He didn't have much value in SV/HLD formats either, as he has only two holds in 15 appearances. There's really no good reason he should be rostered in any format.

The New York Mets placed relief pitcher Robert Gsellman (lat) on the 10-day injured list with a right lat strain on Monday. The move is retroactive to Sunday, June 20. The team also activated second baseman Jeff McNeil (hamstring) from the injured list and called up pitcher Stephen Tarpley on Monday. Tarpley will serve as the team's 27th man for Monday's doubleheader against the Atlanta Braves. Gsellman has had a decent year out of the pen for the Mets. He's pitched 26.2 innings and maintained a 3.71 ERA and 1.20 WHIP.

New York Mets pitcher Robert Gsellman has been named the starting pitcher for Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Washington Nationals. Gsellman has made 14 appearances this year (all in relief) and he has a 3.65 ERA and 1.18 WHIP with a 15:7 strikeout-to-walk ratio. He hasn't appeared in a game since June 8. After naming Gsellman the starter, Mets manager Luis Rojas said, "He's our freshest arm right now." Not exactly the most ringing endorsement, but we'll see if Gsellman can give the team two or three solid innings before a call to the pen.

In somewhat of a surprise move, the New York Mets have told reliever Robert Gsellman that he has made the Opening Day roster. Gsellman has not been too impressive in spring action, posting a 5.63 ERA and 2.00 WHIP in eight innings of relief. Gsellman is also coming off a very mediocre 2020 campaign in which he posted a 9.64 ERA, a 2.14 WHIP, and a 9:8 K:B in 14 innings pitched. In a corresponding move, the Mets released reliever Mike Montgomery on Sunday. Looking ahead to 2021, Gsellman holds little fantasy value, even in leagues that reward holds. He can be ignored in all formats.

New York Mets pitcher Robert Gsellman was placed on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday afternoon with a fractured rib. Right-handed reliever Drew Smith was recalled from the team's alternate site as a corresponding move. Gsellman labored through much of the 2020 season, as evidenced by his 9.64 ERA and 2.14 WHIP across 14 innings. The 27-year-old was already a non-factor in fantasy formats, but he can safely be dropped if any managers are still hanging on.

New York Mets relief pitcher Robert Gsellman left Tuesdays game with trainers and was in apparent pain. The exact nature of Gsellmans injury is unclear for now, but he looked quite uncomfortable when leaving the field, and a stint on the injured list seems very possible. Gsellman was recently bumped back to the teams bullpen after struggling in the rotation, but he hasnt been much better out of the pen and had allowed six runs before exiting on Tuesday. Fantasy managers should monitor Gsellmans status going forward and expect an update sometime on Wednesday.
