Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Julio Teheran, who tested positive for COVID-19, is "trending in the right direction," according to manager Joe Maddon. However, there is still no update on an arrival date for Teheran. With Opening Day for the Angels next Friday, July 24, the 29-year-old right-hander is unlikely to be ready to go by then. When healthy, he figures to be part of the team's six-man rotation in 2020. He'll need time to build up his arm whenever he posts two negative coronavirus ...

Los Angeles Angels manager Joe Maddon said that starting pitcher Julio Teheran will likely need some time to build up and might not be ready for the start of the regular season, even if he reports to camp by this weekend. Teheran is awaiting his test results for COVID-19 and is hopeful of rejoining the team this weekend. The 29-year-old right-hander was maybe a flier to round out your pitching depth in mixed leagues, but now he might not even be worth owning in most leagues. Teheran could also ...

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Julio Teheran is waiting on his COVID-19 test results before he can return to the team. Teheran has told the team that members of his family have experienced symptoms, but he is hoping to rejoin the team by the weekend. All other signs point to the right-hander being healthy and ready to roll once the tests clear him to play. Teheran was brought on during the offseason to help shore up the Angels biggest weakness heading into the season: the starting rotation....

The Los Angeles Angels placed starting pitchers Julio Teheran, Jose Suarez and Dillon Peters (oblique) and infielder Luis Rengifo on the 10-day injured list on Monday. Other than Peters, who is dealing with an oblique injury, the Angels didn't give reasons why they placed them on the injured list. It raises speculation that they could be dealing with a COVID-19-related issue and might not be ready for the start of the season. Teheran is the closest to fantasy relevance of the group, but he ...

This will be my sixth season with RotoBaller, and consequently, my sixth time participating in this bold predictions series. Over that time, I've amassed a fairly strong record with bold predictions, generally clocking in with a success rate of 30 percent. I correctly predicted Bryce Harper's MVP campaign in 2015 and Kirby Yates leading the league in saves last season, and in between had a nice run in calling starting pitcher busts (Julio Teheran, Sonny Gray, and Aaron Sanchez in successive ...

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Julio Teheran (hamstring) was scratched from the spring game against the Dodgers due to left hamstring tightness, but he said the injury is minor and is expected to make his next start either Monday or Tuesday. An MRI exam came back clean and the Angels think it was more of a cramp. Teheran remains on track to be ready for the start of the regular season, and he could be in line to make the Opening Day start. The 29-year-old right-hander has made at least 30 ...

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Julio Teheran (hamstring) will miss his spring training start on Wednesday due to left hamstring tightness. An MRI exam came back negative, however, according to general manager Billy Eppler. Griffin Canning will get the start on the mound instead against the Dodgers. It doesn't sound like a serious injury for Teheran, so he should have plenty of time to be ready for Opening Day. The 29-year-old right-hander had a 3.81 ERA and 1.32 WHIP while striking out ...

Julio Teheran has been a quietly reliable end-of-your-rotation fantasy starter for the better part of his career. He's started 30 or more games every year since 2013, which is an accomplishment in itself. His career 3.67 ERA likely a bit lower than what we should expect in 2020 given the fact that his fastball averaged a career-low 89.9MPH in 2019. He only lasted 5.1 innings on average last year, and ultimately he's not going to bring much to the table in the way of wins or strikeouts. He ...

The Los Angeles Angels agreed to a one-year deal with starting pitcher Julio Teheran on Thursday, according to a source familiar with the deal. Financial terms of the deal weren't immediately disclosed. Teheran is expected to join Dylan Bundy, Andrew Heaney, Shohei Ohtani and Griffin Canning in the starting rotation in 2020. Teheran, 28, went 10-11 with a 3.81 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 162 strikeouts in 174 2/3 innings in his 33 starts for the Braves last season. The two-time All-Star has walked 4.3 ...

The Atlanta Braves declined their $12 million option for the 2020 season on starting pitcher Julio Teheran on Monday, making him a free agent. Teheran will instead receive a $1 million buyout. The 28-year-old Colombian went 10-11 with a 3.81 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 162 K's in 174 2/3 innings (33 starts) for the Braves in 2019. He was fortunate to post an ERA under 4.00 for the second straight year after going back-to-back seasons with a lofty 4.3 walks per nine innings. Keeping the ball in the park ...
