Sean Poppen

The Los Angeles Angels have signed Sean Poppen to a minor league deal.

Fantasy Impact

Poppen tossed 3.2 scoreless innings with the Tecolotes de los Dos Laredos in the Mexican League before signing with the Angels. He last appeared in the majors in 2022 with the Arizona Diamondbacks and has spent time in the minors and Mexican League since.

Sean Poppen has agreed to terms with the Mariners.

Fantasy Impact

Poppen will join the Mariners on a minor-league contract that includes an invitation to Spring Training. The right-handed reliever spent all of 2023 at Triple-A in the Padres' system, but he has logged 63 MLB appearances dating back to 2019. Poppen has a career 5.08 ERA, 1.59 WHIP, and 67-to-30 K/BB ratio across 67 1/3 big-league innings.

Sean Poppen pitched the 12th inning on Tuesday, walking one, and allowing two hits for one earned run in the Diamondbacks' 5-3 loss to the Reds.

Fantasy Impact

Poppen should be heavily avoided in fantasy as he does not see any high leverage situations and is thus not useful in fantasy this season. The Diamondbacks reliever carries an ERA of 2.79 and was mostly used on Tuesday due to the team having already used their three best relievers.
