Free-agent starting pitcher Tyson Ross has given it a lot of thought and has decided to sit out the 2020 season amid the coronavirus pandemic. Ross' younger brother Joe Ross, who is with the Nationals, announced earlier this week that he is also planning to sit out the season. Their dad is a doctor and their mom is a nurse. The 33-year-old right-hander was released by the Giants this week, but he might have landed with another team that would've given him a shot to at least compete for innings in the shortened 60-game season. Ross wasn't very good in just seven starts for the Tigers last year, going 1-5 with a 6.11 ERA, 1.67 WHIP and only 25 strikeouts in 35 1/3 innings. He doesn't have much left at this point in his career.
The San Francisco Giants released starting pitcher Tyson Ross, reliever Nick Vincent and outfielder Jaime Westbrook on Friday ahead of the deadline to submit up to 60 names for their player pool this year. All three were non-roster invites on minor league deals. Ross, 33, struggled to a 6.11 ERA, 1.67 WHIP, 6.4 K/9 and 4.6 BB/9 in only seven starts for the Tigers last year. Vincent, who turns 34 next month, had a bloated 4.43 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 9.5 K/9 in 32 appearances for the Giants and Phillies in 2019. With Ross now out of the picture for the 60-game season, the likes of Logan Webb, Tyler Anderson, Trevor Cahill, Andrew Suarez and Tyler Beede will be vying for spot-starter roles or long-relief roles if the Giants elect to go with more of a four-man starting rotation.
The San Francisco Giants signed veteran starting pitcher Tyson Ross to a minor league deal on Friday. Ross will earn $1.75 million with $1.75 million more in incentives if he makes the big league roster. The right-hander made $5.75 million in 2019 with the Tigers but didn't pitch after May 10 with elbow and neck injuries. When Ross did pitch last year, he was bad, going 1-5 with a 6.11 ERA, 1.67 WHIP and 25 strikeouts in 35 1/3 innings over seven starts. He'll compete for a rotation spot in San Fran. If he makes the rotation, Ross will strictly be a streaming option in deeper leagues, although his new home park won't hurt his chances of becoming fantasy relevant again.
Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Tyson Ross (elbow, neck) has put his throwing program on hold after dealing with a stiff neck. Manager Ron Gardenhire said that Ross could resume throwing in probably five days. Ross has been out since May 12 with ulnar neuritis in his right elbow and doesn't have a timetable for a return. He already wasn't attractive to those in mixed leagues with his 1-5 record, 6.11 ERA, 1.67 WHIP and 25 K's in 35 1/3 innings over his seven starts. When he returns, he'll only be worthy of rostering in AL-only leagues as a warm body.
Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Tyson Ross (elbow) will throw off a mound on Thursday for the first time since he went on the injured list with ulnar nerve neuritis in his right elbow. The veteran right-hander last pitched in the majors on May 10 and won't be on anyone's radar in mixed leagues when he makes his return to Detroit's rotation. Ross is 1-5 on the year with a bloated 6.11 ERA, 1.67 WHIP, 18 walks and 25 strikeouts in 35 1/3 innings over his seven starts. He's also allowed seven home runs in that time. Leave him for the desperate in AL-only leagues when he's activated.
Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Tyson Ross (elbow) saw two different specialists for his ulnar neuritis the last two days and they advised not throwing for seven to 10 days. It sounds like Ross isn't coming back anytime soon. The 32-year-old right-hander wasn't even pitching well before the injury, going 1-5 with a 6.11 ERA, 1.67 WHIP and 25 strikeouts in 35 1/3 innings over seven starts. He shouldn't be own in very many leagues at this point and won't even be an option in mixed leagues when he returns. Detroit's rotation is in shambles, and they are one of the worst teams in baseball overall.
The Detroit Tigers took yet another hit to their starting rotation as starting pitcher Tyson Ross has landed on the injured list with ulnar neuritis in his right elbow. The Tigers had originally decided to simply have Ross miss a start, but the soreness has persisted to the point that some time on the shelf will be necessary. To say Ross has been a liability for fantasy purposes would be an understatement, pitching to a 1-5 record with a 6.11 ERA across seven starts. With four of the five pitchers from the Opening Day rotation now on the injured list, the Tigers have been tied to veteran free agent James Shields as they look to fill the gaping holes in their rotation. Whatever their solution is, don't bank on it being one that provides much fantasy value.
Tyson Ross Pushed Back, Ryan Carpenter To Start Thursday
Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Tyson Ross (back) will have his next start pushed back to Friday against the Twins, as he's dealing with a stiff back. Ryan Carpenter will be brought up from the minors to start on Thursday against the Angels. Neither pitcher will be a recommended streamer this week, but Ross moves from a decent matchup to a bad one in Minnesota. The 32-year-old right-hander is 1-4 this year with a 5.34 ERA, 1.62 WHIP and weak 6.8 K/9 in 30 1/3 innings (six starts). Carpenter, a lefty, had an unattractive 7.25 ERA, 1.70 WHIP and 6.0 K/9 in six outings (five starts) over 22 1/3 frames with Detroit last season.
Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Tyson Ross was activated from the paternity list on Friday and will start against the Royals on Saturday in a good matchup. He'll have a 10-day gap between his last start, which came on April 24. The veteran right-hander is 1-3 with a 4.03 ERA with 12 walks and 29 strikeouts this season. While the matchup is a nice one, fantasy owners might still be leery of using Ross due to his long layoff.
The Detroit Tigers placed starting pitcher Tyson Ross on the paternity list on Tuesday. Spencer Turnbull will now start on Tuesday against the Phillies, with Daniel Norris going on Wednesday. Ross will miss one to three days while being away from the team. The veteran right-hander is mostly an AL-only asset and he sports a 4.03 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and underwhelming 6.8 K/9 for a bad Tigers team. Neither Turnbull nor Norris are recommended streamers against the dangerous Phillies this week.
