Robert Stock Fantasy Stats

The Milwaukee Brewers signed free-agent right-hander Robert Stock to a minor-league deal on Thursday that includes an invitation to major-league spring training. Stock pitched in South Korea in 2022 after previously appearing in the big leagues for the San Diego Padres, Boston Red Sox, Chicago Cubs and New York Mets from 2018 to 2021. The 33-year-old had a decent 3.60 ERA, 138 strikeouts and 83 walks over 29 starts and 165 innings for the Doosan Bears last year. In four years in the majors he wasn't nearly as good, going 2-4 with a 4.71 ERA (3.97 FIP), 1.61 WHIP and 23.1 percent strikeout rate in 55 appearances (three starts) covering 72 2/3 innings. Stock throws hard, but he'll have to show better control with Milwaukee as bullpen depth if he wants to make it back to the big leagues in 2023.

New York Mets relief pitcher Robert Stock (hamstring) was transferred to the 60-day injured list on Friday. The right-handed veteran recently landed on the 10-day version only a few days ago because of a hamstring strain. However, with the Metropolitans' recent acquisition of Rich Hill, a spot on the roster had to be opened up. Stock isn't eligible to make it back until September, so fantasy managers have likely seen the last of him this season, not that anyone had him on a roster anyway.

The New York Mets placed right-hander Robert Stock (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday with a right hamstring strain that caused him to leave his start early on Tuesday against the Cincinnati Reds. Infielder Travis Blankenhorn and right-hander Nick Tropeano were recalled from Triple-A Syracuse and right-hander Geoff Hartlieb was optioned to Syracuse in corresponding moves. Stock allowed a solo home run, walked one and struck out one in just an inning of work on Wednesday before leaving early. He's allowed eight earned runs with nine strikeouts and nine walks in nine innings over three starts with the Chicago Cubs and Mets this year. There's no fantasy upside here, even if he returns to make another spot start later in the season for the Mets.

Updating an earlier report, New York Mets starting pitcher Robert Stock (hamstring) exited his start on Tuesday night due to a right hamstring injury, according to Anthony DiComo of MLB.com. Stock made it through the first inning of Tuesday's outing against the Reds, and was throwing warm-up pitches in the second inning when he left the game with a trainer. There's no word on the severity of the injury, so for now consider him day-to-day and check back for updates later tonight.

New York Mets starting pitcher Robert Stock exited his start on Tuesday with a trainer in the bottom of the second inning, according to Bobby Nightengale of the Cincinnati Enquirer. Stock was seen throwing warm-up pitches on the mound in the second inning, but he would leave the game with a trainer before the first plate appearance of the inning. He has pitched only eight innings in the majors this season entering Tuesday night, seven runs on eight hits and eight walks while striking out eight batters in two starts. Expect updates on his condition after the game, but the reality is it's highly unlikely he was on anyone's roster right now.

New York Mets right-hander Robert Stock will make the start on Tuesday against the Cincinnati Reds. The Mets had been leaning towards giving Stock the spot start, but now it's official. Stock threw an inning for Triple-A Syracuse, so he probably won't have a very long leash in this one despite pitching six innings in the minors last week. In his only two major leagues starts, which have both come this year (one with the Mets, one for the Chicago Cubs), the 31-year-old has allowed seven earned runs on eight hits (two home runs) while striking out eight and walking eight in eight innings pitched. Stock will be an extremely risky, low-upside streaming option against a power Reds lineup on Tuesday.

The New York Mets are leaning toward using right-hander Robert Stock for the game on Tuesday against the Cincinnati Reds. Stock only threw one inning at Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday. The 31-year-old was recently claimed off waivers from the Chicago Cubs and allowed two runs in four innings in a spot start against the Milwaukee Brewers earlier this month. In his one start for Chicago this year against the Mets, Stock allowed five earned runs while walking six and striking out three in four innings. His two starts this season are his only major league starts in his four seasons, so Stock will obviously be one to avoid against a strong Reds lineup if he gets the nod.

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Robert Stock struggled in his first big league start versus the New York Mets on Wednesday. Stock went four innings and allowed four hits, five runs, six walks and struck out three. Stock got the spot start with starting pitcher Adbert Alzolay (blister) on the 10-day injured list. Alzolay is expected to be activated in time for what would be Stock's next turn in the rotation and that makes it likely that Stock is headed back to Triple-A Iowa before the night is over. Even if he stays on the active roster, Stock should be ignored in all formats.

Chicago Cubs pitcher Robert Stock will be promoted from Triple-A Iowa on Wednesday to start versus the New York Mets. The Cubs rotation has been banged up with starting pitchers Trevor Williams (appendicitis) and Adbert Alzolay (blister) both on the 10-day injured list. Stock has appeared in nine games for the Iowa Cubs, but has only started two of those games and that means the Cubs could be opting for a bullpen day on Wednesday. Stock has gone 0-3 with a 4.12 ERA and 25 strikeouts in 19 2/3 innings and can be avoided in all formats for now.

A day after being a late scratch from his start Saturday, San Diego Padres starter Jordan Lyles (forearm) was placed on the disabled list. Lyles was encouraged by initial tests and hopes it's just inflammation. It's unclear how long the eight-year veteran will be sidelined but with his 4.46 ERA and 1.28 WHIP, Lyles was a marginal fantasy prospect. In a corresponding move, the Padres called up reliever Robert Stock from Triple-A El Paso. Stock is a 28-year-old journeyman who finally cracked the highest level of minor league ball in 2018. He performed well in Spring Training and was riding a 1.95 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 10.9 K/9 in 32 1/3 innings between Double and Triple-A this season. Stock's major league debut will probably come in a middle-relief role, giving him minimal fantasy value.
