Scott Blewett Fantasy Stats

The St. Louis Cardinals traded right-handed pitcher Scott Blewett to the Athletics in exchange for cash considerations on Sunday. Blewett threw two scoreless innings during his team debut on Tuesday and was designated for assignment on Wednesday. The Cardinals only called him up because he was out of options, so he was never expected to stick on the roster. The 30-year-old owns a 4.10 ERA, 1.42 WHIP, and a 63/34 K/BB ratio across 44 games across five big league seasons. He figures to pitch in low-leverage situations for the A's, so fantasy managers can continue to ignore him.

Atlanta Braves right-handed pitcher Scott Blewett is expected to serve as the team's opener in their match against the St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday evening. The Braves acquired Blewett in a trade with the Baltimore Orioles in exchange for cash considerations on Sunday. With Spencer Strider (hamstring) returning to the injured list, the Braves will have to deploy a bullpen game this evening. Blewett is expected to only pitch a few innings and cede most of the work to Nathan Wiles, who was promoted from Triple-A Gwinnett earlier on Tuesday. Blewett has logged nine innings of work this season and performed quite well, allowing just one run and holding a solid 1.11 WHIP. Fantasy managers in deeper NL-only formats should only view Blewett as a desperation play this evening, as his ceiling will be limited due to his low projected workload.

Relief pitcher Scott Blewett was traded to the Atlanta Braves from the Orioles in exchange for cash considerations on Sunday. He was previously designated for assignment by Baltimore and will now be looking to contribute to a solid Atlanta bullpen. He's pitched nine innings in four appearances so far this year, allowing one earned run while striking out 11 and walking one. He's been effective at eating innings, as he's gotten more than six outs in three out of his four appearances. It's unclear if he will start in Triple-A or head straight to the big-league club, but he will likely assume a middle relief role in that bullpen.
