Yusmeiro Petit Fantasy Stats

The San Diego Padres agreed to a minor league deal with reliever Yusmeiro Petit on Thursday. The right-hander will get a $1.5 million salary while in the majors if he's added to the 40-man roster and would have a chance to earn $500,000 in performance bonuses for games pitched. The 37-year-old spent the last four seasons with the Oakland Athletics and went 8-3 with a 3.92 ERA in 78 relief appearances in 2021. In 14 major league seasons with the Marlins, Diamondbacks, Giants, Nationals, Angels and A's, Petit has gone 50-44 with a 3.93 ERA. He should continue to be a avoided in all fantasy leagues.

Oakland Athletics relief pitcher Yusmeiro Petit pitched a clean seventh inning to earn his 15th hold of the season Saturday at the Rangers. Petit has been one of the most valuable relievers in the league this season as he's got seven wins to go with his 15 holds and his 44 appearances lead all pitchers as we enter the All-Star break. Petit should continue to see plenty of high-leverage work for manager Bob Melvin making him a solid fantasy option in leagues that value holds. He doesn't have much value in most leagues, however, as his 12.8 percent strikeout rate and lack of save opportunities make him an afterthought in traditional fantasy formats.

Oakland Athletics relief pitcher Yusmeiro Petit allowed three runs in one inning pitched in a loss to the Twins on Saturday. Petit had no control as he walked two and gave up two hits before giving way to Jake Diekman, who served up the game-winning homer to Miguel Sano. Petit had been pitching well for fantasy managers as his ERA is only up to 1.90 after this rough outing. He's got three wins as Petit tends to pitch high-leverage innings at the end of games, but his fantasy impact is limited with Diekman and Lou Trivino splitting closer duties. Petit isn't a big strikeout arm so he's a risky fantasy option in leagues that don't reward holds.

Oakland Athletics relief pitcher Yusmeiro Petit pitched a scoreless eighth inning on Sunday and picked up the win thanks to a Ramon Laureano homer in the bottom of the eighth. Petit now has four victories and a 1.04 ERA through 14 appearances this season. While Petit has been excellent, it's dangerous to chase wins with relievers in fantasy. In 15-team leagues or those that value holds, Petit is an excellent option. He should provide strong ratios, post a healthy strikeout total, and yes, pick up a few more wins thanks to a strong A's offense. He doesn't hold much value in standard-size mixed leagues.

Oakland Athletics relief pitcher Yusmeiro Petit got one out to escape a jam and the offense rewarded him with his league-leading third win of the season. Petit has been a solid arm for a few years in the A's bullpen, but he's not someone to chase in fantasy. Wins are a tough stat to predict and the veteran righty is lucky to have three victories despite just 6 2/3 innings pitched. Petit has pitched to an ERA of three or less in five straight seasons but he's not a strikeout pitcher, 21.5 percent K-rate, and won't get save chances with Lou Trivino and Jake Diekman also in the 'pen. His fantasy value is limited to leagues that reward holds.

Oakland Athletics relief pitcher Yusmeiro Petit earned his second loss of the season in Saturday's 5-4 game to the Royals. Petit entered the game in the seventh inning, holding the Royals scoreless, but proceeded to give up a solo home run to Jorge Soler in the eighth. He finished the game with the single home run given up and no walks with one strikeout in two innings pitched. Petit now has a 2-2 record with a 3.25 ERA, 25 strikeouts, five walks, and five holds in 36 innings pitched. Petit doesn't hold much value in any fantasy leagues given his current position in the A's bullpen.

Oakland Athletics reliever Yusmeiro Petit was placed on bereavement leave due to the passing of his mother, according to Martin Gallegos of The Mercury News. Actually, Petit was informed of his mother's passing before Monday's game against the Texas Rangers. Amazingly, with his mind and heart elsewhere, Petit pitched in the game and did very well; he went 1 2/3 innings, allowing one hit and no runs. Send prayers to Petit and his family.

Oakland Athletics reliever Yusmeiro Petit was activated from family emergency leave, according to Martin Gallegos of The Mercury News. Petit was spending time in Venezuela with his mother who is battling a serious illness. It is understandable that it will be on the mind of Petit on a daily basis and thus justifiable if he doesn't finish as well as he did in 2017. Currently, Petit has a 3.00 ERA in 12 innings with seven strikeouts and remains a great choice in holds leagues.

The Oakland As have signed free-agent reliever Yusmeiro Petit to a two-year, $10 million contract. Petit is coming off the best season of his career, throwing 91 1/3 inningswhile posting a2.76 ERA with 101 strikeouts. He led the league in innings pitched for a reliever last season and will provide a steadying presence for the As bullpen. It is unclear as of now who will close in Oakland next season, but expect Blake Treinen to have the upper hand on Petit. He is a useful reliever in holds leagues, especially because of his strong ratios.

The Angels are making a bullpen start on Saturday, with Yusmeiro Petit drawing the start. He is expected to throw about 40 pitches, so the bullpen will be relied upon to get the Angels through the game. Petit has thrown 56 2/3 innings out of the pen this season, pitching to a 2.70 ERA and a 0.97 WHIP. While he can be expected to give the Angels a solid few innings on Saturday, he should not be streamed in any format, as his pitch count is unlikely to get him past three innings.
