Ryne Stanek News
Houston Astros relief pitcher Ryne Stanek (ankle) injured his ankle while covering first base on Monday in the game against the Texas Rangers and was eventually carted off the field. The severity of the injury is unknown at this time, but the fact that he was carted off the diamond probably means he's at least going to land on the injured list. Although the 32-year-old isn't the team's closer, an extended absence to close out the regular season would be tough on Houston's bullpen. Stanek came into Monday's game with a 3.88 ERA (4.20 FIP), 1.23 WHIP, 21 walks and 49 strikeouts in 48 2/3 relief innings in 2023. He had allowed an earned run on two hits (one homer) with no walks or K's without recording an out on Monday to raise his ERA to 4.07 on the year.
Houston Astros relief pitcher Ryne Stanek struck out the side in a scoreless inning of relief work in Game 3 of the ALCS. Stanek has only thrown two innings this postseason, but he has struck out four while not allowing a baserunner in those frames. After a terrific regular season where he put up a 1.13 ERA and 1.23 WHIP with a 62:31 K:BB ratio, Stanek has continued to dominate in the playoffs. He is part of a great bullpen, an underrated aspect of a Houston Astros team that looks destined for the World Series.
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.
