Jeff Hoffman

Jeff Hoffman has been placed on the 15-day injured list with right forearm stiffness on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact

Hoffman managed to get through one inning of work on Saturday but will now need to sit out a few weeks with the injury. He's pitched relatively well this season with two wins, a 3.83 ERA and 1.41 WHIP but is essentially a non-factor in fantasy leagues.

Jeff Hoffman pitched 1 1/3 innings on Sunday, striking out two, and allowing two hits for zero earned runs in the Reds' 7-6 win over the Cardinals.

Fantasy Impact

Hoffman earned his first win of the season on Sunday as he now carries a record of 1-0 with an ERA of 3.00 and a WHIP of 1.27. The Reds pitcher has a decent strikeout rate as he has 32 over 30 IP. The 29 year old should not be rostered at the moment as he does not see many save opportunities or high leverage situations.

Jeff Hoffman (3-5) was saddled with the loss in his return from the IL Wednesday against the Mets. He allowed five runs on seven hits and three walks across four innings. He did not record a strikeout.

Fantasy Impact

Hoffman struggled in his first start since returning from a shoulder injury. He flashed some upside earlier in the season, but generally his fantasy upside is limited. He tends to be wild, and doesn't put up good strikeout numbers. In 45 innings this season, he has a 5.20 ERA, 1.67 WHIP, and a 39:30 K:BB. He'll start again early next week against the Cubs.

The Reds placed Jeff Hoffman on the 10-day IL with a shoulder injury. Cionel Perez was called up to take Hoffman's place on the roster.

Fantasy Impact

Hoffman left his Wednesday start with a shoulder injury, so it's no surprise that he'll hit the IL immediately. The exact nature of the injury is unclear, but teams are often careful with shoulder injuries for pitchers, so expect Hoffman to be out of action for at least a few weeks. The big right-hander currently sits with a 4.31 ERA and 1.46 WHIP.

Reds pitcher Jeff Hoffman left Wednesday's start with shoulder soreness. Hoffman lasted 1.1 innings after 46 pitches, two hits, two earned runs, and five walks.

Fantasy Impact

Hoffman has struggled a bit with walks this year given his 12.4% walk rate. Outside of Hoffman's slider, which elicits a 43.3% whiff rate, the rest of his pitches aren't that great. This could open up a spot for Tejay Antone until Wade Miley returns from the IL if Hoffman misses time.
