David Phelps - Page 2 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Exits with shoulder issue Blue Jays manager Charlie Montoyo said after Wednesday's 9-4 win over the Athletics that Phelps was lifted from his relief appearance due to right shoulder discomfort, Kaitlyn McGr...

Impact The right-hander was summoned in the top of the eighth to protect a four-run lead, but he apparently felt off while warming up, as he was pulled before he even faced a hitter. Phelps will receive imaging on his shoulder Thursday as the Blue Jays look to gain a better sense of the extent of his injury.

Exits with injury Phelps was removed from Wednesday's win over the A's with an undisclosed injury, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Impact The 34-year-old was called upon to start the eighth inning for Toronto, but he didn't end up throwing a pitch as he apparently tweaked something while warming up. Phelps has surrendered only one run with a 15:4 K:BB through 10.1 innings this season, so it would be a tough break for him and the Blue Jays' bullpen if he's forced to miss any time.

Picks up second hold Phelps gave up a hit and a walk over two-thirds of an inning to record his second hold of the season in Wednesday's win over the Red Sox. He struck out one.

Impact The right-hander replaced Tommy Milone with one out and two on in the fifth inning and promptly let one of the inherited runners score on an Enrique Hernandez double, but Phelps had plenty of cushion with the Jays holding a 4-1 lead. He hadn't pitched in eight days since being struck in the back by a Clint Frazier comebacker, but Phelps seemed 100 percent in his return to the mound. He'll primarily fill a middle-relief role when the Toronto bullpen is back at full strength.

Managing bruised back Phelps suffered a back contusion when struck by a line drive during Tuesday's win over the Yankees, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Impact The 34-year-old was struck by a hard liner off the bat of Clint Frazier to open the eighth inning, resulting in his removal from the contest. Phelps appears to have avoided a serious injury and should be considered day-to-day.

Tosses scoreless inning Phelps pitched a scoreless first inning as the opener Friday, allowing one walk and striking out two in a loss to the Angels.

Impact Phelps took a turn as an opener in Friday's game, and he did his job fairly well. He's allowed only one unearned run in five innings this season, with a 1.20 WHIP, five strikeouts and a hold in five appearances. The 34-year-old right-hander appears set for a flexible role in the Blue Jays' bullpen, although he's most likely to work in the middle innings for now.

Opening Friday Phelps will serve as an opener Friday against the Angels, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact The 34-year-old has allowed one unearned run on four hits over four innings this season, and he'll operate as the opener versus the Halos. T.J. Zeuch will follow Phelps as the primary pitcher for Toronto.

APRIL 9, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Wrapping up strong spring Phelps has posted a 5.14 ERA and 12:0 K:BB through seven Grapefruit League innings.

Impact The ERA is inflated by two untimely homers, but otherwise Phelps has been dealing this spring. The veteran righty was expected to fill a middle-relief role for the Jays this season, but with Kirby Yates (elbow) out of the picture, Phelps could join the high-leverage mix alongside Jordan Romano and Rafael Dolis if he keeps piling up strikeouts.

Phillies clear out 'pen, decline options on Neris, Phelps

OCTOBER 30, 2020 • Associated Press

Bound for free agency Phelps will head to the open market this winter after the Phillies declined his option Friday, Meghan Montemurro of The Athletic reports.

Impact The Phillies picked up Phelps at the deadline to address their struggling bullpen, but the unit's issues were evidently contagious. After opening the year with a 2.77 ERA in 13.0 innings as a Brewer, he posted a 12.91 ERA in 7.2 innings as a Phillie. Much of that appears to be small-sample variance, however, as a full 50 percent of the fly balls he allowed with his new team cleared the fence. Phelps may be 34 years old, but he owns a 3.24 ERA over the last four seasons combined and should be able to find a suitor as a free agent.
