Ryan Borucki Fantasy Stats

Free-agent left-hander Ryan Borucki and the San Francisco Giants agreed to an undisclosed one-year major-league deal on Saturday, sources told Robert Murray of FanSided. Borucki drew strong interest around the league over the winter and eventually signed with the Chicago White Sox before opting out after not being added to the Opening Day roster. The 31-year-old veteran threw six scoreless innings in the Cactus League with the White Sox with eight strikeouts and one walk in six appearances before he opted out of his deal with Chicago. The veteran southpaw will give the Giants another lefty in their bullpen. He has eight years of big-league experience and a 4.28 ERA, 1.29 WHIP, 19.7% strikeout rate, and 8.9% walk rate in 187 appearances (21 starts) in his career with the Toronto Blue Jays, Pittsburgh Pirates, and Seattle Mariners. Borucki had a 4.63 ERA and 1.29 WHIP in 35 innings with Pittsburgh and Toronto a season ago.

The Chicago White Sox have signed free-agent relief pitcher Ryan Borucki to a minor-league deal with an invite to spring training. This is a low-risk move by the South Siders to add a veteran arm to their bullpen. Last season, Borucki posted a 4.63 ERA, 1.28 WHIP, and a 32/16 K/BB ratio across 39 appearances with the Pittsburgh Pirates and Toronto Blue Jays. The 31-year-old has a career 4.28 ERA across eight big league seasons with three different organizations. With a strong performance in camp, Borucki could settle in nicely as a middle reliever in Chicago.

The Pittsburgh Pirates reinstated left-hander Ryan Borucki (back) from the 15-day injured list on Friday. Borucki will return to Pittsburgh's bullpen for the first time since he went on the IL in the middle of June with a lower-back injury. The 31-year-old will remain off the fantasy radar moving forward, even though the Pirates have more opportunity for late-inning work after they traded David Bednar to the New York Yankees at this week's deadline. Borucki, a former 15th-rounder by the Toronto Blue Jays in 2012, will return to a 5.26 ERA (4.31 FIP) and 1.25 WHIP with 22 strikeouts and 11 walks in 25 2/3 innings pitched this year. He has never saved a game in his eight major-league seasons and is unlikely to change that the rest of the way in 2025 with Dennis Santana now locked into the team's closer role.

Pittsburgh Pirates relief pitcher Ryan Borucki (back) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. Borucki made an early exit from Friday's contest after recording only one out. Now, he's set to miss a few weeks with lower back inflammation. Before going down, Borucki was struggling with a 5.26 ERA across 29 appearances with the Pirates. He isn't someone that is going to have value in fantasy formats right now. In a corresponding move, Hunter Stratton has been recalled to take over the spot in the bullpen.

According to Jon Heyman of the New York Post, the Pittsburgh Pirates have signed left-handed pitcher Ryan Borucki to a minor-league contract that includes an invite to spring training. The 30-year-old logged just 11 frames at the major league level in 2024 and posted a hefty 7.36 ERA and a 1.64 WHIP. Through 14 2/3 innings in the minor leagues, Borucki posted a poor 4.91 ERA and a 1.30 WHIP. However, in 40 1/3 innings of work with Pittsburgh in 2023, Borucki held a strong 2.45 ERA and a stellar 0.74 WHIP. He struck out 33 batters and allowed just four free passes. Fantasy managers should continue monitoring his progress during spring training, as Borucki will likely be competing for a spot in the bullpen.

Pittsburgh Pirates general manager Ben Cherington reiterated that he is confident that left-hander Ryan Borucki (triceps) will return this season. Borucki started a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Indianapolis on Aug. 17 and has made three appearances, allowing a run in three innings of work. He had his first rehab assignment shut down in July after feeling symptoms in his left forearm and elbow but started throwing again after receiving an injection in early August. The 30-year-old veteran reliever should be able to rejoin Pittsburgh's bullpen for the final month of the season, but he's completely off the fantasy radar. Borucki has only appeared in four games for the Bucs in relief in 2024 and has allowed two earned runs on four hits while walking none and striking out six batters in 3 1/3 innings.

The Chicago Cubs and left-handed pitcher Ryan Borucki are reportedly "in agreement on a minor-league contract," according to a tweet from FanSided's Robert Murray on Wednesday morning. Murray tweeted the following: "Left-hander Ryan Borucki is in agreement on a minor-league contract with the Chicago Cubs, source said. Borucki, 28, posted a 4.26 ERA in 21 games with the Mariners last season after five years with the Blue Jays." A relief pitcher for each of the past three seasons, Borucki will provide the Cubs with some additional bullpen depth heading into next season. At the moment, the only left-handed bullpen options on Chicago's 40-man roster are Brandon Hughes and Anthony Kay.

The Seattle Mariners traded infielder Tyler Keenan to Toronto Blue Jays for pitcher Ryan Borucki. He was designated for assignment by the Blue Jays on Tuesday but ultimately was dealt to Seattle on Saturday. The 28-year-old owns a 9.95 ERA and 1.89 WHIP with eight strikeouts over 6 1/3 innings in 2022. Mike Ford was designated for assignment by the Mariners in a corresponding move. Borucki doesn't have much fantasy value and is buried on the closer depth chart behind Paul Sewald, Andres Munoz, Diego Castillo, and Sergio Romo.

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Ryan Borucki (forearm, elbow) is set to make another rehab appearance, according to manager Charlie Montoyo. He has already made one appearance, but is scheduled to pitch one inning with Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday. Borucki has been sidelined since May, but it sounds like he is nearing a return. It wouldn't be shocking to see Borucki back on the Jays roster shortly after the All-Star break. Sadly, Borucki has limited upside in fantasy formats and can be ignored in most leagues.

Toronto Blue Jays relief pitcher Rafael Dolis (finger) will join Triple-A Buffalo for a rehab assignment on Friday, according to manager Charlie Montoyo. Reliever Ryan Borucki (elbow) will throw live batting practice early next week before moving to a rehab assignment. Dolis could be back early next week, while Borucki is a little bit further behind. But the Jays should be getting bullpen reinforcements soon. Dolis has three saves this year but also a 5.14 ERA and 1.57 WHIP in 21 innings before he suffered a right middle finger sprain on June 17. The left-handed Borucki suffered a flexor strain on May 14 and has a 4.05 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 14 K's in 13 1/3 innings. Neither relief arm is particularly attractive in fantasy, even in saves/holds leagues.
