The Los Angeles Angels have requested unconditional release waivers on outfielder Ryan Schimpf. They plan to grant him his unconditional release. Schimpf went 1-for-5 with a home run, two walks and three strikeouts with the Angels this season. He hit just .178 with three home runs at Triple-A Salt Lake. Schimpf has elite power, having hit 35 home runs in just 147 big league games. He's also struck out a staggering 178 times. Schimpf should catch on a minor league deal with someone shortly.
Los Angeles Angels utility player Ryan Schimpf will draw his second consecutive start, this time batting ninth and playing left field. One day after drawing two walks and homering, Schimpf gets a start in left while Justin Upton serves as the designated hitter. It's hard to envision a non-injury situation where Schimpf becomes an everyday player in LA, but he makes a solid play in DFS formats or in deep leagues with daily moves.
The Los Angeles Angels have acquired 2B/3B Ryan Schimpf in exchange for recently DFA'd catcher Carlos Perez. Schimpf will report to Triple-A for now, but could be recalled while Ian Kinsler (groin) is on the DL. Schimpf has hit 34 home runs in 527 career plate appearances, but has a .175 batting average in that time.
The Atlanta Braves traded with the Tampa Bay Rays for second basemanRyan Schimpf in exchange for a player to be named later. What's so intriguing about a soon-to-be 30-year-old with only two years of major league experience? Well, in those two years, he's amassed 34 homers in 527 plate appearances. Yes, he's only hit .195 in that span, but when he connects, he hits it out of the park. Keep an eye on him.
The Tampa Bay Rays acquired infielder Ryan Schimpf from the San Diego Padres on Tuesday in exchange for minor league infielder Deion Tansel. Schimpf is under team control through 2022 and slugged 34 home runs over the last two years, although he also hit a measly .195. Schimpf did most of his damage with the Friars in 2016 when he was called up and surprised by hitting 20 bombs in 89 games. He played in just 53 games in the majors last season and hit 14 dingers to go a long with just a .158 average. It's an understatement to say that Schimpf is an all-or-nothing player at the dish.
San Diego Padres second baseman Ryan Schimpf was optioned to Triple-A El Paso on Friday to make room for reliever Jose Valdez. Schimpf played in 53 games this season and had been a regular starter since his debut last June, making the move somewhat surprising. It is understandable, however, given that Schimpf had the lowest batting average in the majors among qualifiers at .158 and has struck out in 35 percent of his at-bats. Schimpf does have 14 home runs this season, but a modest 25 RBI to go along with it. He doesn't need to be held, even in NL-only leagues, despite the fact there is a good chance he will be recalled in the near future. Infielders Jose Pirela and Cory Spangenberg should see more playing time in the meantime.
San Diego Padres infielder Ryan Schimpf will have Tuesday night off versus the Cubs. The infielder has been boom or bust this season. He has hit .167 but has 13 home runs and 24 RBI on the year. He remains an option in deeper NL-only and deep mixed leagues due to his power, but aside from the home runs he does not provide much else. In his place and batting in the No. 6 spot tonight will be infielder Cory Spangenberg. Expect Schimpf to return to the lineup Wednesday.
Stop me if you've heard this before: San Diego Padres second baseman Ryan Schimpf hit a solo home run last night, his only hit of the game. Mr. Solo Dolo is up to 12 homers and 22 RBI on the season, as he provided the only scoring of the game against starter Max Scherzer and the Nationals on Friday. Nothing has changed in Schimpf's fantasy profile from the second half of last year, when he provided a high home run total and not much else. He is slashing .167/.304/.442 on the year. He is in the lineup at third base on Saturday and batting cleanup. Use as a punt play in tournaments if you think he might go back-to-back days with a jack.
San Diego Padres infielder Ryan Schimpf continued his mastery of the meaningless solo home run with another on Sunday against Diamondbacks starter Zack Godley. Schimpf is up to 10 home runs on the year, but seven have been solo shots, and he only has 20 RBI to show for his power. While the homers may be tempting, his .165 average and lack of production otherwise makes him to hard to stomach in anything but deep points leagues or those that utilize on-base percentage instead of average.
