Sam Hentges News
Cleveland Guardians left-hander Sam Hentges (shoulder) began throwing off the mound around Opening Day and has continued to build up his arm after dealing with left shoulder inflammation. He finished his second of two simulated games Friday at the team's spring training complex in Arizona. Manager Terry Francona said the next step for the 26-year-old southpaw will be to begin a minor-league rehab assignment at Double-A Akron at some point in the near future. After that, he'll resume his rehab assignment at High-A Lake County. "He's doing really well," Francona said. Once he's back with the team, Hentges should serve in a high-leverage setup role ahead of closer Emmanuel Clase after he posted a strong 2.32 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 72 strikeouts in 62 relief innings last year.
Cleveland Guardians relief pitcher Sam Hentges (shoulder) is dealing with shoulder inflammation and will be re-evaluated on a week-to-week basis. The 26-year-old left-hander had a strong 2.32 ERA (2.48 FIP), 0.97 WHIP, one save and 72 strikeouts in 62 relief innings in just his second major-league season in 2022, but he could be forced to open this season on the injured list. In his rookie campaign in 2021, he went 1-4 with a rough 6.68 ERA (4.48 FIP), 1.78 WHIP, 32 walks and 68 strikeouts in 68 2/3 frames over 30 appearances (12 starts) for the Guardians. Hentges shouldn't be in consideration for a spot on your fantasy roster in mixed leagues in 2023.
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.
