Sam Hentges - Page 12 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Working well out of bullpen Hentges allowed two hits and struck out three in two scoreless innings in Sunday's 10-2 loss to the Yankees.

Impact This was Hentges' first appearance longer than an inning. He entered the game after Aaron Civale struggled through the first three innings. Hentges has put up a 1.42 ERA, 0.63 WHIP and 9:0 K:BB through 6.1 innings to begin the season. The southpaw will likely continue to be an option for bulk relief duties, so he probably won't interest most fantasy managers unless he pitches his way into the rotation.

Resuming relief role this season Hentges will begin the 2022 season in the bullpen, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

Impact Not surprisingly, Hentges is on the outside looking in for a spot in the rotation. The southpaw struggled with a 6.68 ERA and 1.78 WHIP across 30 appearances last season, but he was more effective in relief than he was in his 12 starts. The 25-year-old should see mostly multi-inning assignments, and he could function as a piggyback to starters as they build up their pitch counts early in the season.

Pitching well in relief Hentges has allowed two runs in 6.1 innings since transitioning to a bullpen role.

Impact Hentges was at his best in Sunday's 11-1 win over the Yankees, striking out the side in the ninth inning to end the lopsided contest. The southpaw had little success as a starter this year, but he's been more effective in a low-leverage relief role. Overall, the 25-year-old has a 6.86 ERA, 1.81 WHIP and 63:30 K:BB through 63 innings across 26 outings (12 starts).

Moves to bullpen role Hentges pitched a perfect inning in relief during Friday's 8-5 loss to Boston.

Impact The southpaw last started Aug. 26, allowing four runs (two earned) versus Texas. Logan Allen took Hentges' regular turn through the rotation Wednesday, suggesting the latter isn't currently set for work as a starter. With Aaron Civale (finger) also nearing a return from the 60-day injured list, Hentges could either be ticketed for a move to the bullpen or a demotion to Triple-A Columbus -- given his 7.18 ERA, 1.91 WHIP and 54:30 K:BB through 57.2 innings this season, he could benefit from more work in the minors.

Impact It was just another subpar performance for Hentges, who lasted four innings for his second straight start. The 25-year-old just hasn't had the distance, pitching a maximum of five innings on two occasions this year. Overall, Hentges has compiled a 7.31 ERA and 1.94 WHIP across 21 appearances (12 starts). If he remains in the rotation, the southpaw tentatively aligns for a Wednesday contest at Kansas City.

Solid in no-decision Hentges didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 9-1 win over the Angels, allowing one run on three hits and a walk over four innings. He struck out two.

Impact Cleveland's offense staked Hentges to a 5-0 lead through two innings, but the southpaw didn't have a long enough leash to qualify for a win as he got the hook after 61 pitches (41 strikes). It was still his longest outing since July 7, and he's been effective enough in his latest stint with the big club to retain a rotation spot, posting a 4.50 ERA and 7:3 K:BB through 10 innings over five appearances in August.

Gives up three runs Saturday Hentges didn't factor into the decision Saturday against the Tigers after allowing three runs on four hits while fanning three across two innings.

Impact Hentges once again struggled to pitch deep into the game but that shouldn't be much of a surprise, as he has pitched at least five complete frames just twice across his 19 outings all year long. He also ended a streak of three straight appearances allowing one or fewer runs. The southpaw now owns a 6.00 ERA with a 2.00 WHIP across four appearances this month.

Unsteady across two innings Hentges allowed one run on four hits and a walk with one strikeout in two innings in a no-decision versus Cincinnati on Monday.

Impact The southpaw gave up an RBI single to Joey Votto in the first inning, but Cleveland's offense made sure Hentges wouldn't take a loss in the bullpen game. The 25-year-old has a 7.71 ERA, 2.04 WHIP and 46:27 K:BB through 46.2 innings. It's unclear if he'll return to a bullpen role or remain in the rotation going forward -- if it's the latter, he lines up to start versus Detroit over the weekend. Either way, Hentges' performance suggests he's not likely to be much of an asset in fantasy.

Starting bullpen game Hentges will start Monday's game against the Reds, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

Impact Hentges will make his ninth start of the season with Cleveland employing a bullpen game. The left-hander made his last start July 7 and covered 4.1 innings, but he's unlikely to pitch that deep Monday given he's covered single frames in his past two outings.

Pitches scoreless inning Hentges allowed a hit and struck out one in a scoreless inning during Tuesday's 7-2 loss to Toronto.

Impact Hentges was recalled from Triple-A Columbus on July 22, but Tuesday was his first appearance since he rejoined the major-league roster. The 25-year-old has worked as both a starter and a reliever this year, and he's been a long-relief option since his callup. He owns an 8.04 ERA, 2.02 WHIP and 45:25 K:BB across 43.2 innings in 16 appearances (eight starts).

Recalled by Cleveland Hentges was recalled from Triple-A Columbus on Thursday, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

Impact Hentges was sent to the minors prior to the All-Star break, and he gave up three runs in 4.1 innings across three relief appearances at Triple-A Columbus. He's posted an 8.23 ERA and 2.04 WHIP in 42.2 innings across 15 appearances (eight starts) in the majors this year, but he could be a candidate to claim a starting job after Eli Morgan was sent down in a corresponding move.
