Sean Poppen Fantasy Stats

The Seattle Mariners have signed pitchers Sean Poppen and Casey Lawrence to minor-league deals while both players have received an invitation to big-league spring training. Poppen, 29, didn't appear in the big leagues in the 2023 season but rather scuffled to a 6.33 ERA across 47 outings at Triple-A El Paso within the Padres organization. He owns a career 5.08 ERA across 63 MLB appearances between the Twins, Pirates, Rays, and D-backs. Lawrence, 36, appeared in 15 games for the Cardinals last season but scuffled to a 6.59 ERA across 27 1/3 innings of work. He also tossed a 4.76 ERA across 104 innings at the Triple-A level between the Cardinals and Blue Jays organizations. Lawrence owns a career 6.75 ERA across 59 MLB appearances between the Blue Jays, Mariners, and Cardinals.

San Diego Padres right-hander Sean Poppen has cleared waivers and has been outrighted to Triple-A El Paso. The Padres initially claimed Poppen off waivers from the Arizona Diamondbacks. The 28-year-old saw action 29 times out of the bullpen for the Snakes in 2022, posting a 4.40 ERA (5.21 FIP), 1.36 WHIP, 12 walks and only 22 strikeouts in 28 2/3 innings pitched. He has an ERA over 5.00 in four major-league seasons with the D-backs, Minnesota Twins, Pittsburgh Pirates and Tampa Bay Rays, and he hasn't been much better in the minor leagues. Poppen will strictly serve as minor-league relief depth in 2023 if he remains with the organization.

Tampa Bay Rays relief pitcher Sean Poppen was recalled from Triple-A on Saturday. The 27-year-old righty was acquired from Pittsburgh back in May for cash and has played relatively well during his limited time in Durham. However, he doesn't have much fantasy value, so managers can surely keep him off the roster unless he finds a spark and a more prominent role with the big club.
