Zac Curtis

Zac Curtis was claimed off waivers by Philadelphia on Monday.

Fantasy Impact

Curtis was designated for assignment by the Mariners on September 4. The Phillies evidently liked what they saw in the 25-year-old southpaw to claim him off of waivers. He made appearances in three big-league games this year for Seattle, all in relief, giving up three unearned runs on three hits (one for a homer), two strikeouts, one walk, two hit-by-pitch, and two wild pitches over 4 2/3 innings. His main body of work was performed at Double-A Arkansas, where he posted a 3.51 ERA, 1.21 WHIP, and an eye-opening 60/19 K/BB over 51 1/3 innings. He will likely have a role in the bullpen, and pitch in low-leverage situations as the season winds to close.

Fantasy Impact

Curtis was designated for assignment to make room on the 40-man roster for Jacob Hannemann and Seth Franklin, who both were claimed off waivers from the Cubs. Curtis appeared in three games for the Mariners this season, allowing three unearned runs on three hits and giving up one homer over 4 2/3 innings. He walked one and struck out one, but also plunked two batters and uncorked two wild pitches. He was acquired on November 23, 2016 from the Diamondbacks along with Jean Segura and Mitch Haniger in exchange for Taijuan Walker and Ketel Marte. He offers no fantasy value, even if claimed on waivers by another big-league team.
