Sam Hentges News
According to Mandy Bell, Cleveland Indians pitcher Sam Hentges will start Monday night's game against the Cincinnati Reds in a bullpen game. This is probably Hentges best possibility for success as he has struggled mightily as a starter this season and has allowed 16 earned runs in his previous three starts dating back to June 27th. He will provide little fantasy upside in this one and could struggle vs. a Reds team that is posting a 128 wRC+ mark over the previous 10 days.
The Cleveland Indians recalled pitcher Sam Hentges from Triple-A on Thursday. Fellow pitcher Eli Morgan was sent down to Triple-A in a corresponding move. Hentges was demoted to Triple-A before the All-Star break. He's struggled over 15 appearances (eight starts) with the Indians this year, posting an 8.23 ERA and 2.04 WHIP to go along with a 1.8 K/BB ratio. He could be a candidate to start next Tuesday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals.
The Cleveland Indians optioned left-handed rookie Sam Hentges to Triple-A Columbus on Friday to make room for Triston McKenzie, who will start on Friday against the Kansas City Royals. Hentges just hasn't been good in his first stint in the major leagues, going 1-4 with a rough 8.23 ERA, 2.03 WHIP, 44 strikeouts and 25 walks in 15 appearances (eight starts) spanning 42 2/3 innings. The 24-year-old southpaw has the ability to miss bats, but he'll need to be a lot better with his control and command in the second half if he's to even be considered as a sleeper streaming option in DFS and deeper leagues. With all the injuries to Cleveland's rotation, there's a good chance that Hentges will get some more starts in the second half.
