The Giants recalled Daulton Jefferies from Triple-A Sacramento.

Fantasy Impact

The Giants have optioned Daulton Jefferies to Triple-A Sacaramento.

Fantasy Impact

Jefferies will head to Triple-A as the Giants call up a fresh arm for the bullpen in Randy Rodriguez. Jefferies will likely re-enter the rotation in Triple-A.

Daulton Jefferies is dealing with discomfort in his left hip and will be evaluated on Monday.

Fantasy Impact

Jefferies allowed nine runs (five earned) on nine hits in his two innings of work on Sunday. The Giants should provide a further update on his status after he is evaluated.

Daulton Jefferies, who was placed on the IL on Friday with nerve irritation in his right arm, has been diagnosed with thoracic-outlet syndrome.

Fantasy Impact

Jefferies is going for a second opinion, but the diagnosis is obviously a blow to his long-term future assuming that it's confirmed. Thoracic-outlet syndrome has derailed the careers of many pitchers, Matt Harvey chief among them, so all managers can do at this point is hope for the best. Jefferies had a 5.72 ERA this year and was 1-7, so he wasn't much of an option and can be dropped in all formats. Those in dynasty leagues should hold for the time being.

Oakland Athletics SP Daulton Jefferies pitches four innings on Wednesday, striking out five, walking three, and allowing seven hits for six earned runs in the A's 14-4 loss to the Twins.

Fantasy Impact

Jefferies took his seventh loss of the season on Wednesday in a rather brutal outing as he allowed more runs than innings pitched and now sits with an ERA of 5.72. The A's starting pitcher is not worth rostering due to both his standing record and his strikeout percentage as he has just 28 strikeouts through 39 innings pitched.
