Phil Coke

Phil Coke came into the game for starter Ivan Nova, pitching 2/3 of an inning and giving up no hits in a 6-3 win over the Royals.

Fantasy Impact

Phil Coke made his season debut back with the Yankees. He can be a valuable arm out of the bullpen.

Coke will provide left-handed relief depth to the Braves bullpen with Andrew McKirahan out for the season with an elbow injury and Tommy John surgery.

Fantasy Impact

Coke currently is not roster-worthy and likely will not be in the future. There will be no pressure on Coke as he provides spot-relief occasionally for the team. The Braves are willing to speculate here. He had eighteen appearances last year between the Cubs and Blue Jays, closing out 2015 with a 5.68 ERA.

The Miami Marlins are pursuing left handed pitcher Phil Coke for a Minor League deal with a spring training invitation.

Fantasy Impact

Coke shouldn't be more than a LOOGY, assuming he even makes the team. He'll have no fantasy value, even in the deepest leagues.

Free agent Coke has has lost fifteen pounds this offseason and has been throwing off the mound for the past month or so. He is drawing interest from a number of teams after a strong second half last year. Coke has a lifetime 22-27 record and 4.16 ERA

Fantasy Impact

The demand for lefty specialists is always there and, at 32, Coke will find a place to land. It just shouldn't be on your fantasy roster.
