Fantasy Impact

Waguespack has pitched parts of three seasons in the major leagues and has posted a 5.11 ERA across 105.2 innings with the Blue Jays and Rays. He pitched with Toronto in 2019 and 2020 and then made his return to the big leagues in 2024 with Tampa Bay. Last season, he pitched in the Rays' and Phillies' organizations and combined for a 2.45 ERA in 33 innings at Triple-A. Waguespack has been used as a starter and as a reliever and will provide depth for the Brewers.

The Tampa Bay Rays have released right-hander Jacob Waguespack.

Fantasy Impact

The Rays designated the right-hander for assignment on July 25, and he is now a free agent. He could latch on to a club looking for pitching depth, considering his 0.46 ERA in 19 2/3 innings of relief with Triple-A Durham this season.

The Rays have designated right-hander Jacob Waguespack for assignment.

Fantasy Impact

The Rays needed to clear a 40-man roster spot for Johnny DeLuca who returned from the 60-day injured list on Friday and Waguespack is the roster casualty. The righty hasn't appeared for the Rays this season but posted a tidy 0.46 ERA across 15 appearances with Triple-A Durham.

The Rays sent Jacob Waguespack to Triple-A Durham on Wednesday, per team updates, despite a strong spring showing in Grapefruit League action.

Fantasy Impact

Waguespack’s 6 scoreless innings with 7 strikeouts and 6 baserunners in spring play couldn’t snag a Rays Opening Day bullpen spot, landing him in Durham Wednesday as a swingman after 4 starts there in 2024. The 31-year-old’s versatility stands out. Fantasy managers in deep dynasty leagues should stash him, eyeing a midseason call-up if Tampa Bay needs bullpen depth in 2025.

Jacob Waguespack is starting a rehab assignment Tuesday in the Florida Complex League.

Fantasy Impact

Waguespack has been sidelined since the first week of May with a shoulder strain. He has a chance to be activated near the All-Star break.
