Tanner Roark Fantasy Stats

The Atlanta Braves optioned pitchers Kyle Wright and Ty Tice on Thursday and recalled right-handers Jesse Chavez and Tanner Roark in corresponding moves. To make room for Chavez and Roark on the 40-man roster, Tucker Davidson and Alex Jackson were moved to the 60-day injured list. Wright, 25, had allowed seven earned runs in just 6 1/3 innings of work (9.95 ERA) over two starts for Atlanta this year. He gave up five runs on four hits in two innings in his start against the New York Mets on Wednesday night. Chavez, 37, and Roark, 34, will give the Braves some veteran arms to eat up innings moving forward, but they aren't fantasy options. Chavez hasn't pitched in the big leagues this year, while Roark had a 6.43 ERA and 1.28 WHIP in seven innings with the Blue Jays.

The Atlanta Braves signed starting pitcher Tanner Roark to a minor league deal on Monday, according to a source. Roark was 0-1 with a rough 6.43 ERA and 1.28 WHIP while striking out five and walking two in three outings (one start) covering seven innings for the Toronto Blue Jays before being let go. The 34-year-old right-hander allowed three home runs and has a weak 7.3 career K/9 in nine big league seasons with the Washington Nationals, Blue Jays, Cincinnati Reds and Oakland Athletics. Roark could be a starting option for Atlanta while their rotation gets back to full strength in the short term, but he doesn't have much upside at this point in his career and should remain on the waiver wire in most fantasy leagues.

Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Tanner Roark was designated for assignment on Friday, the team announced on Twitter. Roark made three appearances this season, going 0-1 with a 6.43 ERA and five strikeouts in seven innings of work. He last pitched on April 18, where he tossed 1 1/3 scoreless innings of relief against the Royals.

Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Tanner Roark (family emergency) was placed on the Family Medical Emergency List prior to Friday's game, according to Kaitlyn McGrath of The Athletic. There are no other details at this time, including how long Roark may be out. Roark is 0-1 to start the year with a 6.43 ERA and 16.1 percent strikeout rate through seven innings of work. In a corresponding move, relief pitcher Travis Bergen was recalled from the team's alternate site.

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Tanner Roark will start the team's finale against the Los Angeles Angels on Sunday. Roark was shelled in his first start of 2021 against the Texas Rangers this past Tuesday. He pitched three innings and gave up six hits, including three home runs, on the way to allowing five earned runs. Robbie Ray (elbow) appears likely to make his next start early this coming week and Nate Pearson (groin) is nearing a return as well. Once both players are back, Roark will be moved to the bullpen.

Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Tanner Roark started off the 2021 season the same way he ended 2020 by getting crushed during a 7-4 loss to the Texas Rangers on Tuesday. The veteran right-hander allowed six hits including three home runs which led to five runs over three innings of work. Roark did not walk a batter and struck out two but generally lacked the ability to consistently miss bats. His slider is supposed to be his best offering but he allowed three hits on 14 sliders, including two of his home runs. Roark is in the final year of an ill-advised, two-year $24M contract that has not worked out. Last season, he posted a 6.80 ERA with 60 hits and 14 home runs allowed in 11 starts.

Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Tanner Roark allowed seven runs in just 2.1 innings of work and saw his spring ERA balloon to 8.44. He allowed eight hits and one walk while striking out five batters. The soft-tossing veteran right-hander is in the final year of his two-year contract with the Jays and looking to help provide stability to the bottom of the Jays' starting rotation. His spring performance which has included 13 hits and 10 runs allowed in 10.2 innings has done little to instill confidence although he does have a K-BB of 14-3. If Roark continues to struggle early in the season, he could end up in the bullpen or on the waiver wire. He had a 6.80 ERA in 11 games with the Jays in 2020.

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Tanner Roark had a solid start on Thursday as he pitched three innings of scoreless baseball while allowing one hit and striking out three in a 10-6 win against the Detroit Tigers. Sure, the great start was against the lowly Tigers, but he also had a solid start against the Phillies on Saturday and has yet to allow a run through his first five innings pitched while striking out four. Roark has changed his delivery this spring and is working more from the stretch, which could be a reason for the solid results. While the great start to the spring is nice, Roark posted a 6.80 ERA and 1.74 WHIP across 47 2/3 innings pitched in 2020 and likely should not be trusted heading into 2021. He has a current ADP hovering around the 700 mark and should likely only be considered in streaming situations for 2021.

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Tanner Roark made his spring debut versus the Phillies on Thursday, allowing one run in two complete frames. He served up a home run to Roman Quinn in the first inning, but went on to strike out a pair of batters while surrendering two walks to complete his first taste of Grapefruit League action. Roark battled an illness earlier in camp, but will have enough time to stretch out as a member of the team's Opening Day rotation. He signed a two-year deal this offseason to eat up innings for the club, but won't hold much fantasy value outside of AL-only formats.

Toronto Blue Jays starter Tanner Roark (flu) will throw a simulated game this weekend, followed by his Grapefruit League debut sometime next week. The veteran has had a late start to his throwing program after battling the flu, but he should be good to go by Opening Day to pitch in the middle of the rotation. Signed to a two-year deal this offseason, Roark should provide steady innings for a volatile pitching staff since he's gone four straight seasons with 30 or more starts. The right-hander doesn't offer much fantasy value with middling ratios, but he could have fantasy appeal in AL-only formats as a streaming option.
