Availability
The Rays placed Jesse Scholtens on the 15-day injured list with a right wrist strain.
Fantasy Impact
The move opens up a roster spot for Craig Kimbrel. Scholtens will be down for at least the next couple of weeks.
Jesse Scholtens allowed two runs on two hits and four walks while striking out four batters across 4.2 innings in Friday's 2-0 loss against the Boston Red Sox.
Fantasy Impact
The positive for Scholtens was that he allowed just two hits across 4.2 innings. The downside was that both hits left the yard for solo home runs, and he also issued four walks, driving his pitch count up to 91 with only 53 strikes thrown. Through six appearances, including two starts, he owns a 3.29 ERA and 1.17 WHIP on the season. His next scheduled start is lined up for Wednesday against the Toronto Blue Jays.
Jesse Scholtens allowed five earned runs on seven hits and no walks while striking out six batters over 5.2 innings in Monday's 6-1 loss against the Cincinnati Reds.
Fantasy Impact
Scholtens, who had been working as a bulk reliever to begin the season, drew the start on Monday and struggled early, surrendering a two-run homer to Sal Stewart in the first inning. He bounced back with a 1-2-3 second inning, but allowed another run in the third and two more in the sixth, before being pulled. He reached 95 pitches in the outing, showing he is fully stretched out. After opening the season with 9.2 scoreless innings, his ERA rose to 2.93 following Monday’s start. It remains unclear when his next outing will come, and whether it will be as a starter or bulk reliever.
Jesse Scholtens will make a bulk relief appearance on Wednesday against the White Sox.
Fantasy Impact
Scholtens will follow Cole Sulser who is serving as the opener for the Rays. They'll take over for Joe Boyle who landed on the injured list.
The Rays recalled RHP Jesse Scholtens from Triple-A Durham.
Fantasy Impact
Scholtens threw five innings in relief against the Yankees last week. He gets called back up with Joe Boyle landing on the injured list.
