Drew Sommers - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Charged with loss Saturday Sommers (0-3) allowed one run on two hits in two innings of relief and was charged with the loss in Saturday's 4-3 defeat to the White Sox. He walked one and struck out four.

Impact The lefty reliever pitched decently but was charged with a tough-luck loss in the middle part of Saturday's contest after starter Troy Melton covered just 4.1 innings. Sommers has only been asked to log 22 frames so far this season in the majors, though he's mostly been sharp despite the winless record with a 3.68 ERA and 34 strikeouts. The southpaw doesn't have a ton of fantasy appeal at the moment, however, given his role in the middle of Detroit's bullpen.

Impact The 25-year-old lefty joined the big-league bullpen Tuesday when Bailey Horn went on the paternity list and will now head back to the minors following the latter's return. Sommers has given up six earned runs in just three MLB innings this year, but he's put himself in a position to audition for next year's Opening Day bullpen by turning in a 3.03 ERA and 1.08 WHIP through 35.2 frames in Triple-A.

Relegated to Triple-A The Tigers optioned Sommers to Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday.

Takes first career loss Sommers (0-1) allowed three runs on two hits across an inning of relief to take the loss in Monday's game against the Mets. He struck out one.

Impact With Detroit starter Charlie Morton only lasting 3.2 innings, Sommers came on in the middle of the contest and struggled against a potent New York lineup. The key hit against the rookie lefty was a two-RBI triple by Juan Soto, who then came around to score on a Brandon Nimmo single. Sommers has now allowed at least one run in three of his first four MLB appearances, and he's sitting with an ugly 18.00 ERA.
