Ryne Stanek Stats

The Houston Astros signed veteran reliever Ryne Stanek to a one-year deal worth $1.1 million on Thursday, according to a source. The 29-year-old was used as an opener by the Rays in 2018-19 and made 56 starts, none of which lasted more than two innings. Stanek allowed eight runs in 10 relief innings for the Marlins in 2020 after battling COVID-19 during the summer. With relievers Roberto Osuna, Chris Devenski and Brad Peacock all leaving via free agency, Stanek will help boost Houston's bullpen in the back end. He features a fastball that averages 97.7 mph and will join Ryan Pressly, Joe Smith, Brooks Raley, Blake Taylor and Enoli Paredes. Stanek plans to be in the mix for a leverage role with the Astros. It could mean some saves, but unless he becomes the everyday ninth-inning option, the 29-year-old is unlikely to have a ton of fantasy appeal.

Miami Marlins right-handed pitcher Ryne Stanek was activated off of the injured list prior to Fridays contest against the Rays. Caught up in the COVID-19 outbreak that decimated the early part of 2020 for Miami, Stanek has made just one appearance out of relief this year, yielding three runs in one frame. Acquired from Tampa Bay last season, if Stanek appears this weekend, hell be facing his former mates for the first time in his career. With Brandon Kintzler firmly entrenched as the Marlins closer moving forward, Stanek has little fantasy intrigue over the final month.

Miami Marlins relief pitcher Ryne Stanek had a rough outing on Saturday against the Phillies. He tossed an inning, allowing three runs on three hits and a walk. Stanek was amazing as an opener for the Rays in the past, but Marlins manager Don Mattingly does not understand the concept and uses Stanek as a regular reliever, where he has not done well. Stanek will likely get a few more late-inning chances before anything changes. He's too risky to rely on in any fantasy format right now.
