Ryan Tepera

Ryan Tepera experienced elbow pain following his most recent Grapefruit League outing and will be examined by doctors Wednesday, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

The Blue Jays should have more news after the examination by the doctors on Wednesday. Tepera is slated to be working in a setup role this season and is only worth rostering in leagues that count holds as a category.

Ryan Tepera pitches a scoreless seventh with one strikeout in the the Blue Jays 8-3 loss to the Oakland Athletics.

Fantasy Impact

Tepera now holds a 3.63 ERA and a 1.23 WHIP, and while still splitting save opportunities Tepera is the man to own for now from the Blue Jays bullpen.

Ryan Tepera failed to record an out on Saturday against the White Sox, allowing four runs on three hits and two hit batsmen.

Fantasy Impact

With the Blue Jays' bullpen exhausted, Tepera was called on in the eighth inning with two runners on and one out and simply made a mess of the situation. Even assuming this does not end his run as the Toronto closer, Roberto Osuna's imminent return should. There's no need to bother with Tepera in fantasy leagues at this point.

Ryan Tepera pitched a perfect ninth inning with two strikeouts to lock down the Blue Jays' 4-1 win over the Orioles and earn his seventh save of the season.

Fantasy Impact

Tepera has looked good since returning from the disabled list, throwing three scoreless appearances. It appears that he's back as the closer for the Blue Jays, at least until Roberto Osuna returns in two weeks. Until then, owners should hope for as many save opportunities as possible for the Blue Jays.

The Blue Jays placed Ryan Tepera on the 10-day disabled list on Saturday with right elbow inflammation. The team recalled Jake Petricka to take Tepera's place on the roster.

Fantasy Impact

Tests reportedly have been positive on Tepera's elbow, though he has not had an MRI. It's unclear how long he will be out, but it sounds like it's a matter of rest, which means it shouldn't be an extended absence. Both Tyler Clippard and Seung-Hwan Oh have already converted save opportunities since Tepera has been sidelined, so they should likely split the opportunities going forward.
