Vance Worley News
The New York Mets have purchased the contract of pitcher Vance Worley from Kane County of the Independent League. He has not pitched in the MLB since the 2017 season. Worley posted a 4.01 ERA in five starts with Kane County this season. It sounds like Worley is going to head to Triple-A and serve as organizational depth. Possibly, Worley gets a spot start or two at some point, but he won't be a fantasy option.
The New York Mets added some organizational depth on Thursday, signing pitchers Vance Worley and Scott Copeland to minor league deals. Neither figure to be major contributors for the Amazins, but stranger things have happened. Worley is coming off a disastrous 2017 that saw him get shelled to the tune of a 6.91 ERA across 71 1/3 innings pitched for the Miami Marlins. Copeland, also with the Marlins organization in 2017, pitched exclusively in Triple-A New Orleans and racked up a 4.97 ERA. The Mets also released pitcher A.J. Griffin, who was with their Triple-A affiliate in Las Vegas and allowed 16 runs in just three innings pitched this year. Theres no fantasy significance for any of these moves.
The Cincinnati Reds reassigned right-hander Vance Worley to minor league camp on Wednesday. Worley was in camp as a non-roster invitee for the Reds and turned in a 6.17 ERA in 11 2/3 innings this spring. The 30-year-old was once thought to have a bright future but really struggled in 24 appearances with the Miami Marlins in 2017. In 71 2/3 innings, Worley posted a 2-6 record, 6.91 ERA, and 50 strikeouts. He's expected to work in relief in Triple-A and isn't expected to be much more than organizational depth in 2018.
