The Oakland Athletics designated right-handers Jeurys Familia and Domingo Acevedo for assignment on Thursday. The team also recalled right-handers Rico Garcia, Spencer Patton and Austin Pruitt from Triple-A Las Vegas and optioned right-hander Adam Oller to Las Vegas. Familia has a team-leading two saves on the year, but his 6.39 ERA (7.31 FIP), 2.05 WHIP and 13 walks in 12 2/3 relief innings were just too much for the A's to stomach. The 33-year-old right-hander will now be looking to join...

Oakland Athletics reliever Jeurys Familia earned his second save in four games when he closed out Monday's contest against the Los Angeles Angels. He pitched the 10th inning, allowing two runs on two hits while walking one and striking out one in the 11-10 win. Familia has posted a 5.73 ERA with five strikeouts and nine walks over 11 innings this year. Zach Jackson pitched the eighth and ninth inning and should also be in line for his fair of saves, but it looks like the 33-year-old is the ...

Oakland Athletics right-hander Jeurys Familia picked up his first save of the season on Friday when his club defeated the Texas Rangers 5-4. He threw one inning, allowing no runs or hits while walking one. Familia is off to a poor start in 2023, posting a 5.40 ERA with four punchouts and eight walks across 10 innings. But with Dany Jimenez (shoulder) and Trevor May (anxiety) on the injured list, the A's needed another closer. The 28-year-old Zach Jackson, who pitched the eighth inning ...

Oakland Athletics relief pitchers Trevor May, Jeurys Familia and Dany Jimenez could all be used in save situations this year, according to manager Mark Kotsay. "I think we'll start out with the mindset that they're all options," Kotsay said. Fantasy managers shouldn't be too interested in the A's closing picture unless you're scrounging for save opportunities in AL-only leagues. May has 12 career saves in eight big-league seasons, Familia has 125 career saves in 11 major-league campaigns and ...

The Arizona Diamondbacks signed veteran reliever and closer Jeurys Familia to a minor-league deal on Wednesday that includes an invite to major-league spring training. The 33-year-old right-hander was with the Boston Red Sox and Philadelphia Phillies last year and struggled to the tune of a 6.09 ERA (4.94 FIP), 1.80 WHIP, 41 strikeouts and 22 walks in 44 1/3 relief innings. He was much better for the New York Mets in 2021, although he has only one save since 2019. Should Familia make Arizona's ...

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Jeurys Familia was designated for assignment after Tuesday's 7-6 extra-inning loss to the Yankees, per Red Sox beat writer Chris Cotillo. Familia took the loss in the game, allowing three runs (two earned) on a hit and three walks in the 10th inning. The veteran struggled this season with both the Phillies and Red Sox, compiling a 6.09 ERA in 44 1/3 innings pitched. The cleared roster spot will likely go to recently-claimed infielder Yu Chang.

New York Mets relief pitcher Jeurys Familia (hip) was activated from the 10-day injured list on Friday. Familia suffered a right hip impingement on June 21 but had a very successful rehab assignment and was activated on the first day he was eligible. The 31-year-old right-hander has a 3.63 ERA and one save on the season with 24 strikeouts but has also recorded 15 walks in 22 1/3 innings pitched. His numbers began to dip last month and he was credited with a loss back on June 13 after ...

New York Mets relief pitcher Jeurys Familia (hip) and catcher Tomas Nido (wrist) will start their rehab assignments with Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday night. Familia is eligible to come off the injured list as soon as Thursday, and Nido is eligible to return on Friday. Familia suffered a right hip impingement at the beginning of last week, but he should be back later this week, barring a setback. The right-handed reliever has a 3.63 ERA and one save on the season, but his 6.0 BB/9 is concerning...

New York Mets relief pitcher Jeurys Familia's (hip) inflammation has been subsiding, and the expectation is that he will return from the injured list when he's eligible next week. The Mets are slowing getting healthier as we approach the All-Star break. Familia has a 3.63 ERA, 1.75 WHIP and 24:15 K:BB over 22 1/3 innings out of the Mets bullpen so far in 2021. The 31-year-old is only useful in leagues that count saves and holds, as he'll merely return to a setup role in front of closer Edwin ...

New York Mets relief pitcher Jeurys Familia (hip) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Monday night with a right hip impingement, according to Anthony DiComo of MLB.com. Familia last pitched on Sunday, where he allowed one run on two hits and one walk while striking out two in 2/3 innings of work against the Nationals. He's been a nice play in SV/HLD formats this season, posting a 3.63 ERA and 22.9 percent strikeout rate while going 2-1 with one save and five holds. In a corresponding move,...
