Drey Jameson - Page 2 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Allows first spring run Jameson allowed one run on two hits and one walk over one inning of relief in Monday's spring game against the Dodgers.

His four-seamer topped out at 101.3 mph and it averaged 97. The right-hander continues to make progress in his return and reduced the number of days between outings, per Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports. Jameson is competing for a spot as a reliever and is included in the bullpen of the latest projected roster offered by Steve Gilbert of MLB.com.

Making spring debut Wednesday Jameson (elbow) is scheduled to make his Cactus League debut in Wednesday's game against the Brewers, Jack Sommers of SI.com reports.

Impact Once starter Corbin Burnes exits the contest, Jameson is on track to make what will be his first appearance at any level since July 6, 2023 after he missed the last season and a half while recovering from Tommy John surgery, which he underwent in September of that year. Jameson progressed to throwing bullpen sessions by the end of last season, and his lengthy rehab program appears to have gone without any snags over the winter and during the early part of spring training. The 27-year-old is in contention for a spot in the Diamondbacks' Opening Day bullpen, but because he has two minor-league options remaining, an assignment to Triple-A Reno could be in the cards if he isn't sharp during his Cactus League appearances.

Arizona Diamondbacks' notes: Pitcher Drey Jameson takes another step in rehab Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander Drey Jameson faced hitters on Tuesday for the first time since having Tommy John surgery.

FEBRUARY 19, 2025 • AZCENTRAL.COM

Impact This was Jameson's first time facing hitters since undergoing Tommy John surgery in 2023. The Diamondbacks will monitor the right-hander's recovery from the session before determining next steps.

FEBRUARY 19, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Set to throw off mound Wednesday Jameson (elbow) said that he will throw a bullpen session Wednesday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Impact Jameson missed the entire 2024 season while recovering from Tommy John surgery, which he underwent in September 2023. Though he had been able to throw off a mound by July of last season, Jameson is presumably doing so with more velocity and better command this spring now that he's further removed from the elbow procedure. The Diamondbacks could still ease Jameson along more slowly in spring training than their other healthy pitchers, but the 27-year-old right-hander said that there's "no question" he'll ready for Opening Day. If Jameson clinches a spot on the season-opening roster, he'll likely be used in lower-leverage situations initially, but he could quickly move up the pecking order in an Arizona bullpen that looks relatively unsettled.

FEBRUARY 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Pegged for relief role in 2025 The Diamondbacks are likely to use Jameson (elbow) as a reliever next season, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

Impact Jameson came up through the minors as a starter and broke into the majors in that role. However, he was mostly used in relief in 2023 and pitched well in the bullpen with a 2.81 ERA and 29:11 K:BB over 32 frames. Jameson missed the 2024 season following Tommy John surgery but is expected to be ready for spring training.

Undergoes Tommy John surgery Jameson (elbow) underwent Tommy John surgery Wednesday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Impact Giving the timing of the procedure, Jameson seems doubtful to return to a major-league mound before the 2025 campaign. The 26-year-old right-hander pitched to a 3.32 ERA and 37:18 K:BB over 40.2 innings (three starts, 12 relief appearances) this season with the Diamondbacks.

Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Drey Jameson to undergo Tommy John surgery Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander Drey Jameson will undergo Tommy John surgery, manager Torey Lovullo said.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2023 • AZCENTRAL.COM

Needs Tommy John surgery Manager Torey Lovullo announced Sunday that Jameson (elbow) will require Tommy John surgery, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.

Impact The right-hander elected for the rest-and-rehab route after being diagnosed with a UCL strain in late July, but he'll ending needing Tommy John surgery. Jameson had a 3.32 ERA over 40.2 innings this season but is now likely to be sidelined until 2025 given the typical 12-to-18 month recovery timeline for the procedure.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Shut down from throwing Jameson (elbow) has been "pulled back" on his throwing program due to arm tenderness, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Impact Jameson chose to rehab his strained UCL rather than have surgery to repair the issue. He was hoping to return at some point in 2023, though this development has almost certainly closed the door on that possibility and his 2024 campaign could also be impacted.

SEPTEMBER 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Might throw bullpen Jameson (elbow) is throwing out to 100 feet and could throw a bullpen session next week, MLB.com reports.

Impact Jameson, who was diagnosed with a sprained UCL, has elected rehab over Tommy John surgery. Arizona manager Torey Lovullo is not ruling out a return this season.

SEPTEMBER 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Hoping to pitch again in 2023 Jameson (elbow) has been throwing from up to 90 feet, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

AUGUST 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Elects not to have surgery Jameson (elbow) has elected not to undergo surgery on his UCL strain, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Impact It was reported earlier this month that Jameson was seeking second opinions on his right elbow -- usually not a good sign. However, Jameson has received good news in that he will at least get to try the rest-and-rehab route instead. A procedure is often still necessary in these cases, but Jameson will try his best to stave off surgery.

JULY 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Getting second opinions Jameson will get second opinions this week on his elbow injury, Theo Mackie of the Arizona Republic reports.

Impact Jameson, who was moved from the 15-day to 60-day injured list Saturday, sustained the injury during a pitch in Thursday's game. At the time, he reported it to manager Torey Lovullo, pitching coach Brett Strom and trainer Max Esposito as a cramping in his hand and mentioned nothing about the elbow. The right-hander remained in the game to throw another 17 pitches. Lovullo was told the extra pitches did not impact the injury and that "the damage had already been done." The manager acknowledged that doctors are looking at the area of the ulnar collateral ligament, which suggests Tommy John surgery is in the offing.

JULY 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Moved to 60-day IL The Diamondbacks transferred Jameson (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Saturday.

Impact Jameson landed on the injured list Friday with right elbow inflammation, and his move to the 60-day IL ensures he'll be sidelined through early September. Tyler Gilbert was selected from Triple-A Reno to fill Jameson's spot on the 40-man roster.

JULY 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Goes on IL with sore elbow Arizona placed Jameson on the 15-day injured list Friday with elbow inflammation.

Impact Jameson had been pitching well in long relief for the Diamondbacks before a rough outing Thursday versus the Mets in which he allowed two earned runs on five hits and one walk over three innings. The 25-year-old will be out until at least July 22.

JULY 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Continues scoreless run Jameson allowed one hit and one walk while striking out four over three scoreless relief innings in Thursday's 6-1 loss to the Rays.

Impact Jameson was part of a bullpen crew that logged seven scoreless frames after starter Brandon Pfaadt allowed six runs in two-plus innings. For Jameson, it was his fourth consecutive scoreless, multi-inning appearance -- seven hits, one walk, 10 strikeouts over 9.1 innings -- and the starter-turned-reliever has a 2.61 ERA out of the bullpen since being called up from Triple-A Reno in late May. The Diamondbacks are expected to be in the market for starting pitching, but until they land one, Jameson could enter the rotation. He's thrown 20.2 innings over eight relief appearances, so it wouldn't take long to stretch him out.
