Scott McGough News
Arizona Diamondbacks reliever Scott McGough is heading to the injured list Sunday with right shoulder inflammation, according to Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic. The 33-year-old was a factor in save situations earlier in the season, racking up five saves in June, but has been limited to a lower-leverage role recently. Overall, McGough has pitched to a 4.73 ERA, 1.28 WHIP, and 28.6% strikeout rate with nine saves and 14 holds across 70 1/3 innings. There's no timetable yet for the second-year player, but he'll undergo an MRI on Monday. Fantasy managers can check back in for more updates.
Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander Scott McGough earned his ninth save of the season on Monday when the club defeated the San Francisco Giants by a score of 4-3 in 11 innings. He completed one inning of work, allowed no baserunners, and struck out a pair. McGough now owns a 4.30 ERA, 1.13 WHIP, and 30.1% strikeout rate over 52 1/3 innings. The 33-year-old has been a factor in the Diamondback's closer committee this season, especially in June, when he secured five saves. However, the team traded for Paul Sewald, and he'll likely take over closing duties full-time, leaving McGough and company in a setup role.
Arizona Diamondbacks right-handed pitcher Scott McGough allowed five baserunners but escaped with a save on Sunday, helping lock down a 5-2 victory over the San Francisco Giants. McGough wasn't at his best in this one, but he did get the final four outs of the game. In the eighth, he allowed two hits and a walk before getting bailed out by a baserunning error, and then in the ninth, he allowed a hit and a walk but got out of it unscathed. Even with the shaky outing, McGough now appears to be the clear favorite for saves in Arizona, converting their last five opportunities. He needs to be added in all formats and has big upside as the main option on a very good team.
