T.J. Zeuch News
The Colorado Rockies agreed with free-agent right-hander T.J. Zeuch on a minor-league deal on Friday, according to a source. Zeuch was a former top prospect with the Toronto Blue Jays, and he'll receive an invite to big-league spring training. The 27-year-old was with the Cincinnati Reds in 2022, but he was cut in September after allowing a whopping 18 earned runs on 24 hits while walking seven and striking out five in just 10 2/3 innings over three starts at the major-league level. A back injury likely contributed to his poor performance in a small sample size. The 6-foot-7 pitcher has made only 16 appearances (10 starts) in four major-league seasons, posting a bloated 6.49 ERA (6.73 FIP), a 1.79 WHIP, 36 strikeouts and 31 walks in 59 2/3 innings pitched.
Toronto Blue Jays pitcher T.J. Zeuch was traded to the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday, according to Robert Murray of FanSided. A former first-round pick, Zeuch has pitched 49 innings in the majors since 2019, going 2-4 with a 4.59 ERA, 1.551 WHIP and 14.1 percent strikeout rate. He's spent most of 2021 at Triple-A, where he has gone 2-3 with a 4.03 ERA, 1.345 WHIP and 16.6 percent strikeout rate in 58 innings of work. It's possible that a change of scenery could do him some good, but for now he's not fantasy relevant in any format.
Toronto Blue Jays right-hander T.J. Zeuch will reportedly take the mound Thursday as the starter at home with the New York Yankees in town.It might be best to avoid him as a streamer, even in deeper leagues, against a Yankees lineup that has scored more runs than just four teams entering play on Wednesday. The right-hander doesn't have an extensive history of missing bats in the majors and hasn't limited walks either, with 29 strikeouts and 22 walks in 46 career Major League innings. He's faced the Yankees twice so far this season, allowing seven hits, four earned runs, three walks and a pair of home runs against just four strikeouts in eight combined innings. In his most recent outing against New York on April 14, the Yankees collected three barrels and had an average exit velocity of 94.7 mph against the Toronto starter.
