Emmet Sheehan - Page 10 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Making another start Wednesday Sheehan is scheduled to start Wednesday's game against the Rockies at Coors Field.

Impact Sheehan will make his second straight turn through the Los Angeles rotation after a brief stint in the bullpen. He turned in a gem his last time out this past Thursday against the Giants, striking out a career-high nine while allowing one earned run on no hits and four walks over 4.2 innings. Though he's pitched well of late, Sheehan hasn't hit five innings in any of his starts or relief appearances in the majors or minors since late July, so the Dodgers may not keep him in Wednesday's game long enough to qualify for a win.

Racks up nine punchouts Thursday Sheehan allowed one run on zero hits and four walks while striking out nine batters over 4.2 innings in a no-decision against San Francisco on Thursday.

Impact Sheehan came out of the bullpen in his previous outing but was back in a starting role Thursday. He put up quite a unique stat line, no-hitting the Giants for 4.2 frames but racking up 93 pitches as a result of four walks and nine strikeouts. The rookie came close to qualifying for the victory but couldn't harness his control with two outs in the fourth inning, allowing four straight batters to reach base (with one crossing the plate) on a hit-by-pitch and three straight walks. Sheehan has flashed big strikeout upside with 14 punchouts over 7.2 innings during his past two appearances, and he could be a weapon for Los Angeles in the postseason, though it's uncertain how the team will use him once the playoffs begin.

Dodgers' Emmet Sheehan flashes the kind of stuff that makes him an intriguing October arm “He’s right there in the conversation,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said after Sheehan struck out a career-best nine hitters Thursday.

Garnering start Thursday Sheehan will start for the Dodgers on Thursday against the Tigers, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact It's possible the rookie will be used as a glorified opener, with Ryan Yarbrough following him. Sheehan has collected a 5.44 ERA and 45:22 K:BB over 49.2 frames for the Dodgers this season, making nine starts and two relief appearances. His last outing was in relief when he went three scoreless innings versus the Mariners last Saturday.

SEPTEMBER 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Shines in piggyback role Sheehan pitched three scoreless innings in bulk relief against the Mariners on Saturday, allowing one hit and striking out five batters without issuing a walk.

Impact Clayton Kershaw got the start for Los Angeles but was held to a reduced workload, tossing just 56 pitches over four scoreless frames. Sheehan took over to start the fifth and built upon the legendary lefty's strong outing, tossing three scoreless frames of his own. Sheehan had his swing-and-miss stuff working, racking up 15 whiffs on just 39 pitches and punching out five batters. It's not clear how the Dodgers plan to deploy him moving forward, but a piggyback role in the postseason is a possibility given Kershaw's recent shoulder troubles and the team's overall lack of rotation options.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Escapes with no-decision Sheehan came away with a no-decision Friday in the Dodgers' 8-5 win over the Nationals, giving up five runs on six hits and a walk over 4.1 innings. He struck out four.

Impact Twice the right-hander got handed a two-run lead, and twice he quickly coughed it up, serving up a three-run homer to Keibert Ruiz in the first inning and a two-run shot to CJ Abrams in the fifth. Sheehan's failed to last five innings in each of his last three starts in the majors, posting a 5.84 ERA, 1.30 WHIP, 13:5 K:BB and 3.6 HR/9 in 12.1 innings during those outings, and its not clear if he'll remain a regular member of the rotation over the final weeks of the season.

SEPTEMBER 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Picks up another start Sheehan is listed as the Dodgers' probable starter for Friday's game in Washington.

Impact The rookie was called up from Triple-A Oklahoma City last weekend and acquitted himself well in an abbreviated start against a tough Atlanta offense, striking out six while allowing one earned run on three hits and three walks over four innings. Since the 23-year-old right-hander has already covered 105.1 innings between the majors and his two minor-league stops this season, the Dodgers may not be eager to let Sheehan work especially deep into his future starts, limiting his potential to pick up wins. Sheehan would gain more value if the Dodgers opt to deploy him in bulk relief behind an opening pitcher, but manager Dave Roberts hasn't suggested he plans on using Sheehan in that fashion.

SEPTEMBER 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Fine in short start Sheehan allowed a run on three hits and three walks while striking out six over four innings in a no-decision versus Atlanta on Saturday.

Impact Sheehan limited the damage to a Ronald Acuna solo home run in the third inning. This was Sheehan's first major-league action since Aug. 3, but it's unclear if he'll remain in the rotation going forward. The right-hander has a 5.31 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 36:21 K:BB through 42.1 innings over nine outings (eight starts) in the majors this year. If the rookie starts again, it would likely be a road date against the Nationals next weekend.

SEPTEMBER 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled from OKC The Dodgers recalled Sheehan from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday.

Impact Sheehan holds a 5.63 ERA and 1.28 WHIP through 38.1 innings with the Dodgers this season, and he will come up from the minors to presumably round out Los Angeles' rotation. Despite his inflated stats, Sheehan looked sharp in his last two MLB appearances, surrendering just two runs in nine innings while striking out eight batters and walking two.

SEPTEMBER 1, 2023 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM

Shining in bulk relief at Triple-A Sheehan struck out five and allowed one hit and one walk over four scoreless frames out of the bullpen Sunday for Triple-A Oklahoma City in its 7-5 loss to Salt Lake.

Impact Since returning to the minors Aug. 4, Sheehan has made a pair of four-inning relief appearances for Oklahoma City, allowing just six baserunners while striking out 11. His usage as a primary pitcher out of the bullpen is likely an organizational decision to keep his innings in check, but Sheehan could still be a candidate to make his return to the Dodgers when the team requires a fifth starter to replace the injured Tony Gonsolin (forearm) this weekend in Boston. If he's called up, Sheehan could end up working behind an opening pitcher just like he has his last two times out with Oklahoma City.

AUGUST 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Optioned to Triple-A Sheehan was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday.

Impact This is the corresponding move to Saturday's likely bulk reliever, Ryan Yarbrough, getting added to the active roster. Sheehan essentially piggybacked Julio Urias in Thursday's game after Urias was limited to five innings due to a split fingernail. After replacing Urias, Sheehan went the distance to pick up a four-inning save, so he obviously wouldn't have been an option to pitch in the coming days. It wouldn't be surprising to see Sheehan back in the big leagues as a starter or reliever later this season.

AUGUST 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Picks up first career save Sheehan earned a save against the Athletics on Thursday, allowing two runs on two hits and one walk while striking out three batters over four innings.

Impact In Sheehan's first big-league appearance out of the bullpen, he piggybacked with starter Julio Urias, who was limited to five frames due to a recent fingernail issue. Sheehan gave up a pair of solo homers but kept Oakland at arm's length, tossing 56 pitches over the game's final four innings to record a save. The rookie right-hander worked as a starter for each of his first seven big-league appearances, but Thursday's outing may be a signal that he's no longer needed in that role with the Dodgers' recent acquisitions of Lance Lynn and Ryan Yarbrough and the looming return of Clayton Kershaw (shoulder).

AUGUST 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Throws five scoreless innings Sheehan allowed two hits and a walk while striking out five over five scoreless innings in a no-decision versus the Reds on Saturday.

Impact Caleb Ferguson couldn't hold the lead in the sixth inning, costing Sheehan a chance at the win. The right-hander rebounded well from a skid that saw him allow 17 runs over 12.1 innings across his previous three starts. He's now at a 5.77 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 27:17 K:BB through 34.1 innings across seven starts this season. Sheehan remains on the bubble for a rotation spot with the Dodgers, though Saturday's outing may give him the upper hand over Michael Grove to remain a starter until Clayton Kershaw (shoulder) is ready to return.

Suffers first loss Sheehan (3-1) allowed eight runs on eight hits and five walks while striking out four over 3.2 innings to take the loss Sunday versus the Rangers.

Impact There's only one positive to take out of this -- Sheehan avoided allowing a home run. Beyond that, it was the worst start of his young career against arguably the most dangerous offense he's faced so far. He's given up at least four runs in each of his three outings in July after allowing just five total runs over 17 innings in his first three career starts. Sheehan has a 6.75 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 22:16 K:BB through 29.1 innings overall. He's tentatively lined up for a home start versus the Reds next weekend, but he could be at risk of losing his place in the rotation if the Dodgers pursue starting pitchers at the trade deadline.

Yields four runs in win Sheehan (3-0) allowed four runs on five hits and three walks over five innings Monday, striking out two and earning a win against Baltimore.

Impact Sheehan coughed up three runs in the first two innings but was able to settle in and improve to 3-0. The 23-year-old has struggled in his last two outings; he's coughed up nine runs with a 6:7 K:BB through 8.2 innings during that span. His career ERA now sits at 4.91 through five career MLB appearances. Sheehan's next start is projected to be in Texas this weekend.

JULY 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sustains first bad start Sheehan allowed five runs on four hits and four walks while striking out four over 3.2 innings, taking a no-decision Tuesday versus the Pirates.

Impact Sheehan had allowed just five total runs over his first 17 major-league innings. He gave up a two-run double in the first inning and then ran into more trouble in the fourth before he was relieved by Caleb Ferguson. Sheehan has showed promise so far, posting a 4.35 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 16:8 K:BB through 20.2 innings over four starts. He'll likely have extra time to reset from this poor outing, as he's not likely to pitch again before the All-Star break.

Holds his own Thursday Sheehan (2-0) allowed three runs on seven hits and struck out five without walking a batter over five innings to earn the win Thursday over the Rockies.

Impact Inclement weather delayed the start of the game, but it didn't quiet the Dodgers' bats. Sheehan left the game with an 11-3 lead, and he threw 60 of 88 pitches for strikes in another solid outing in the most challenging of venues for his first career road start. This was also the first time in his three career starts that he didn't walk a batter. He's pitched to a 2.65 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 12:4 K:BB over 17 innings so far. Sheehan's making a great impression and a strong case to remain in the rotation even as Julio Urias (hamstring) is set to return Saturday. Sheehan's projected to face the Pirates next week.
