Ryan Tepera Stats

The Chicago Cubs signed free-agent relief pitcher Ryan Tepera to a one-year contract. The deal will pay him $900,000 if he is on the big league roster and $300,000 if he is in the minor leagues. Tepera wasn't great in 2018, posting a 4.98 ERA for Toronto, but he had a solid 3.49 ERA for four years before that. He should settle into a middle-relief role in the Cubs bullpen, but he won't have much, if any at all, fantasy value.

Toronto Blue Jays reliever Ryan Tepera returned from the disabled list on Sunday. Tepera had been pitching well prior to heading to the disabled list and had been getting the lion's share of save opportunities with Roberto Osuna being suspended. The waters are a little more murky now though with Tyler Clippard and Seunghwan Oh pitching well recently and Osuna returning on August 5th. Also, the Blue Jays general manager Ross Atkins has already publicly stated that Osuna will be the closer when he returns. So, it would be unlikely for Tepera to record any saves prior to that, and should only be owned in holds leagues.

Toronto Blue Jays relief pitcher Ryan Tepera (elbow) is expected to return to the team shortly after the All-Star break. Tepera went down on June 30 with inflammation in his right elbow. He threw another successful bullpen session on Thursday and will make a rehab appearance this weekend. Before the injury, Tepera performed admirably in the closer role in the wake of Roberto Osunas suspension. He has six saves on the year to go with 43 strikeouts. He should assume closing duties over Tyler Clippard when he returns.
