Scott Kazmir was called up to the majors on Saturday and is scheduled to face Walker Buehler and the Dodgers in his debut.
Fantasy Impact
Kazmir hadn't pitched in the Majors since 2016 when he had a 4.56 ERA and 2.58 K/BB ratio in 136 1/3 innings pitched. He struck out five and walked one in six and one-third innings in the minors. The 37-year-old featured a sinker and a change-up last time he was in the Bigs but had several pitches that he threw less frequently. His average fastball velocity in 2016 was 92.0 MPH, so it will be interesting to see where it is in his first start. It's a great story, but he's not a recommended streamer in a tough debut match-up.
