Tommy Milone News
Seattle Mariners pitcher Tommy Milone is expected to remain in the bullpen, according to manager Scott Servais. Marco Gonzales, Logan Gilbert, Robbie Ray, Chris Flexen and George Kirby are likely to be the first five starters out of the break. The 35-year-old has been used as the long relief option for the M's this season. It has been working well, so the organization doesn't want to shake it up. The veteran lefty is posting a 2.70 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 4/2 K/BB ratio over 13 1/3 innings. Fantasy managers can ignore Milone in all formats while he's functioning as the long relief option.
Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Tommy Milone will start the second game of the club's doubleheader against the Kansas City Royals on Saturday. Robbie Ray had originally been scheduled to start on Saturday but he has been pushed back to Sunday. He's made just one start this season since being activated from the injured list so this buys him an extra day of rest as he builds up his stamina. Milone has pitched well for the Jays in two relief appearances after opening the season on the taxi squad. The 34-year-old hurler has a 1.50 ERA with a K-BB of 8-2 in six innings of work. With a fastball that averages just 84 mph, he's likely better suited for long relief work and isn't a great fantasy option.
Left-hander Tommy Milone signed a minor league contract with the Toronto Blue Jays on Thursday that included an invitation to spring training. The move gives Toronto some veteran starting depth or a possible long-man for the bullpen. The club also recently signed fellow southpaw Francisco Liriano. Milone hasn't been fantasy relevant for some time although he did pitch OK last season for the Baltimore Orioles (3.91 FIP, 24 K%) before melting down after a move to the Atlanta Braves (7.33 FIP, 17 K%). Overall, his walk rate of 3% was one of the best rates in the league but he allowed nine home runs in just 39 innings. He's predominantly a fastball-changeup pitcher.
