INJURIES

Athletics lefty Sean Newcomb has surgery on right knee

Oakland Athletics left-hander Sean Newcomb had arthroscopic surgery on his right knee Wednesday to help alleviate pain he experienced while recovering from a procedure on his left...
DECEMBER 21, 2023 • Associated Press
Shifted to 60-day IL Newcomb (knee) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Wednesday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
Impact Newcomb landed on the 15-day IL over the weekend and is now officially done for the season with a sprained left knee. The transaction clears a spot on the 40-man roster for Joey Estes.
SEPTEMBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Athletics place LHP Sean Newcomb (knee) on injured list The Oakland Athletics placed left-hander Sean Newcomb on the 15-day injured list on Sunday because of a strained left knee.
SEPTEMBER 17, 2023 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM
Placed on 15-day IL Newcomb was placed on the 15-day IL on Sunday with a strained left knee.
Impact With this injury, Newcomb's season has probably come to an end with just a couple of weeks to go. The placement on the injured list is retroactive to Saturday. In a corresponding move, the Athletics selected Joe Boyle from Triple-A
SEPTEMBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Goes three innings Newcomb (1-1) allowed four runs on five hits and three walks while striking out two over three innings to take the loss versus the Padres on Friday.
Impact Newcomb earned his second start in a row, but this one wasn't as good as his four scoreless innings versus the Rangers last Saturday. All four runs came over his first two innings, and he needed 79 pitches (46 strikes) to complete an inefficient three frames. The lefty has a 3.00 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 17:9 K:BB through 15 innings over seven appearances (two starts) in the majors this year. Newcomb is tentatively projected for a home start versus the Mariners next week if he remains in the rotation.
SEPTEMBER 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Awarded another start Newcomb is listed as the Athletics' starting pitcher for Friday's game against the Padres in Oakland.
Impact Because he had initially been working out of the bullpen following his Aug. 23 call-up from Triple-A Las Vegas, Newcomb was on a limited pitch count this past weekend, when he was called upon to make a spot start against the Rangers. He held his own in a tough matchup with a playoff contender, striking out five while allowing no runs on one hit and two walks over four innings. Newcomb was lifted after 62 pitches against the Rangers but should be able to push his count up into the 70-to-80 range in his second turn through the Oakland rotation Friday.
SEPTEMBER 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Tosses four scoreless frames Newcomb allowed one hit over four scoreless innings in a no-decision against Texas on Saturday. He walked two batters and struck out five.
Impact Newcomb hadn't pitched more than 2.1 frames in any of his five appearances coming into Saturday, so his workload was kept under control despite his effectiveness. The left-hander ended up tossing 62 pitches (41 for strikes) before turning the contest over Kyle Muller. Newcomb appears to be getting a look in Oakland's rotation, per Martin Gallegos of MLB.com, so he'll likely continue to build up his pitch count moving forward. He's been outstanding since getting called up from the minors Aug. 23, allowing just one run on three hits while posting a 15:6 K:BB over 12 innings.
SEPTEMBER 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Impressive in multi-inning work Newcomb fired two scoreless innings in a win over the White Sox on Friday, allowing no hits and one walk while recording three strikeouts.
Impact Making his second appearance for the Athletics after a promotion from Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday, Newcomb was once again impressive while firing 28 of his 42 pitches for strikeouts. The veteran left-hander, once a 12-game winner as a starter with Atlanta back in 2018, figures to continue drawing plenty of multi-inning assignments in Oakland down the stretch and could certainly see his fair share of hold opportunities and decisions in the process.
AUGUST 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Gets call-up to Oakland The Athletics selected Newcomb's contract from Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday.
Impact After being acquired from the Giants on Monday, Newcomb was initially assigned to Las Vegas but didn't make an appearance for the Triple-A affiliate before getting the call to the Oakland bullpen. He'll be available for Wednesday's game against the Royals as a multi-inning option behind right-hander Adrian Martinez, who isn't likely to work deep into the contest for what will be his first start of the season. Newcomb compiled a 3.16 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 40:20 K:BB in 31.1 innings at Triple-A Sacramento this season prior to the Giants trading him.
AUGUST 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Acquired by Athletics The Athletics acquired Newcomb from the Giants on Monday in exchange for Trenton Brooks.
Impact Newcomb posted a 3.16 ERA and 40:20 K:BB over 31.1 innings this season at Triple-A Sacramento. Now a full-time reliever, the left-handed Newcomb will report to Triple-A Las Vegas for now but could get another shot at the big-league level with the A's eventually.
AUGUST 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Elects free agency Newcomb elected to become a free agent Oct. 6.
Impact Newcomb was traded from Atlanta to Chicago at the start of the 2022 season, finding minimal success with an 8.78 ERA and 1.88 WHIP over 27.2 innings in the majors. However, his 3.38 ERA and 1.25 WHIP at Triple-A Iowa may be enough for another team to take a chance on the 29-year-old lefty going into 2023.
OCTOBER 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Outrighted to Triple-A Newcomb cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Iowa on Monday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Impact Newcomb was designated for assignment by the Cubs on Saturday but will remain in the organization after going unclaimed on waivers. Over 12 appearances (one start) at Iowa this year, the southpaw has posted a 3.38 ERA and 1.25 WHIP in 24 innings.

Blackmon hits go-ahead triple in 9th, Rockies beat Cubs 3-1

Charlie Blackmon hit a tiebreaking triple and scored in a two-run ninth, and the Colorado Rockies earned a rare road win, beating the Chicago Cubs 3-1
SEPTEMBER 17, 2022 • Associated Press
Designated for assignment Newcomb was designated for assignment by the Cubs on Saturday, Tony Andracki of Marquee Sports Network reports.
Impact Newcomb tossed four scoreless innings over his last two appearances, but he posted a 9.13 ERA and 1.81 WHIP in 22.2 innings over 17 appearances (one start) with the Cubs. He'll lose his spot on the 40-man roster after Adbert Alzolay (lat) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list Saturday.

Cardinals' Goldschmidt has 2 HR, 5 RBIs in 8-3 win over Cubs

Paul Goldschmidt slugged his 32nd and 33rd homers to highlight a five-RBI performance, Corey Dickerson set a franchise record for consecutive hits and the St. Louis Cardinals rolle...
AUGUST 25, 2022 • Associated Press
Shifts to bullpen Newcomb struck out two and worked around a hit and a walk to deliver a scoreless inning in relief in Sunday's 3-0 loss to the Marlins.
Impact Newcomb's previous appearance with the Cubs had come as a starter in the second game of the team's doubleheader with the Cardinals on Thursday, when the southpaw took a no-decision after giving up two earned runs across three innings. Since the Cubs transitioned back into a five-man rotation following the doubleheader, Newcomb looks set to operate as a multi-inning option out of the bullpen for the duration of his stay on the active roster.
AUGUST 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Goes three innings in spot-start Newcomb didn't factor into the decision during a 7-2 loss to St. Louis in Game 2 of Thursday's doubleheader, allowing two runs on five hits with one strikeout in three innings.
Impact Making his first start since 2020, Newcomb surrendered a Nolan Arenado two-run home run in the first inning while letting runners reach second base in each of his ensuing frames but was able to escape the jams. The 56 pitches eclipsed the 44 he tossed in his most recent outing June 12, and the two runs surrendered actually dropped the 29-year-old's ERA to 10.22 across 12.1 innings. It appears unlikely Newcomb will remain with the big-league club barring injury.
AUGUST 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Contract selected for spot start Newcomb had his contract selected by the Cubs and will start Game 2 of Thursday's doubleheader against the Cardinals, Sahadev Sharma of The Athletic reports.
Impact The left-hander was previously announced as the starter for Thursday's nightcap, and he's now officially been added to the big-league roster. Newcomb has surrendered 12 earned runs with an 8:6 K:BB across 9.1 big-league innings between Chicago and Atlanta this season.

Quintana wins in St. Louis debut, Cardinals sweep DH vs Cubs

Newly acquired José Quintana won in his debut with St. Louis, Tyler O’Neill and Nolan Arenado homered and the Cardinals beat Chicago 7-2, completing a doubleheader sweep of the Cub...
AUGUST 4, 2022 • Associated Press
Getting start in doubleheader The Cubs will call up Newcomb from Triple-A Iowa to start the second game of Thursday's doubleheader with the Cardinals, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Impact Chicago added lefty Matt Dermody from Iowa ahead of the twin bill to serve as their 27th man, but the team will wait until after Game 1 to officially select Newcomb's contract from the minors. The southpaw has made all 39 of his appearances at the big-league level over the past two seasons out of the bullpen, but he'll be joining the Cubs as a starter after having recently moved into the rotation at Iowa. He built up to four innings and 71 pitches in his last minor-league outing, so Newcomb could struggle to work deep enough in Game 2 to factor into any decision.

Rookies Madris, Contreras lead Pirates to 7-1 win over Cubs

Bligh Madris hit his first major league home run and fellow rookie Roansy Contreras pitched five solid innings to lead the Pittsburgh Pirates to a 7-1 victory over the Chicago Cubs
JUNE 22, 2022 • Associated Press
Clears waivers The Cubs outrighted Newcomb to Triple-A Iowa on Monday, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Impact Newcomb will have until Wednesday to decide whether to accept the assignment to Iowa or elect free agency. Between stops with Atlanta and Chicago this season, Newcomb was charged with 12 earned runs on 16 hits and six walks while striking out eight over 9.1 innings.
JUNE 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Dropped from 40-man roster The Cubs designated Newcomb for assignment Monday.
Impact Newcomb has now been DFA'd on two occasions this season; he was previously booted off Atlanta's 40-man roster in April before being dealt to the Cubs. He spent most of his six-week tenure with the Cubs on the 15-day injured list with a left ankle sprain before he was blasted for five earned runs in an inning of long relief in his first game back from the IL in Sunday's 18-4 loss to the Yankees.
