Tim Lincecum News
The Texas Rangers have activated Tim Lincecum(blister) from the 60-day disabled list and then released him from the organization. The Rangers bullpen has been improving lately and there is no longer room for him in the organization's plans for their long-relief role. Lincecum could latch on with another team, but he's a long shot to become fantasy relevant or even reach the big leagues again.
Texas Rangers relief pitcher Tim Lincecum (blister) is likely to be cut by the team later this week. The Rangers have reportedly decided against calling up Lincecum when his 30-day period runs out on Wednesday. He could stay in the minor leagues with the Rangers, but the most likely option would be Lincecum becoming a free agent. He's posting a 5.68 ERA at Triple-A Round Rock this season. He should be left on the waiver wire in all leagues until he's actually on an MLB roster.
Texas Rangers relief pitcher Tim Lincecum (blister) had a good outing at Triple-A on Wednesday. Lincecum pitched two scoreless innings in his latest outing but had two walks and zero strikeouts. This outing lowers Lincecum's ERA for the season to 6.17, and it will offer some encouragement to the Rangers. Texas has until Wednesday, June 6, to activate Lincecum. If not, they must either release him or ask him to remain at Triple-A. A few weeks ago when the Rangers bullpen was struggling, Lincecum would have had little issue being activated. However, the bullpen has been performing better and even when activated, Lincecum is likely to have little fantasy relevance at this stage.
