Bummer exited Friday’s game early due to a left biceps strain and was placed on the injured list Saturday. He owns a 1.23 ERA across seven 1/3 innings this season. Look for Steve Cishek to see an increased role out of the bullpen with Bummer sidelined.

Aaron Bummer struck out one and gave up a hit over 1 2/3 scoreless innings against the Cubs.

Fantasy Impact

Bummer has had a tough month of September, watching his ERA for the month balloon over 9.00. He has not been the same pitcher he was earlier in the season, and has a lot of work to do. This was a great chance for him to showcase his talents, but he'll have to wait until Spring Training to begin fighting for a roster spot in 2019.
