According to Robert Murray of FanSided.com, left-handed relief pitcher
Danny Coulombe is drawing interest on the market. Murray noted that multiple teams were interested in left-hander
Taylor Rogers before he was traded to Cincinnati. As a result, Coulombe could be viewed as one of the top southpaws on the market. Last season with Baltimore, Coulombe posted a strong 2.12 ERA with a 0.67 WHIP across 29 2/3 innings. He struck out 32 batters and served up just five free passes. In 2023, Coulombe posted a similar 2.81 ERA and a 1.11 WHP across 51 1/3 frames with the Orioles. The southpaw consistently saw time as a high-leverage option in the Baltimore bullpen over the past two seasons. He would likely find a role as a setup man in 2025.

Baltimore Orioles relief pitcher
Danny Coulombe picked up his first save of the season in Monday's 2-0 win over the Yankees. Coulombe entered the game to pitch the top of the ninth inning up by two and turned in a 1-2-3 outing with no strikeouts. Closer
Craig Kimbrel (back) is currently day-to-day with back tightness, so Coulombe was called upon to close things out. The 34-year-old has pitched well this season with a 3.18 ERA, an 11.12 K/9 rate, and a 1.59 BB/9 rate in 11 1/3 IP. His fantasy value will remain limited without seeing routine high-leverage situations, but he could provide value in saves-plus-holds leagues if he ends up getting interim save opportunities.

Baltimore Orioles left-hander
Danny Coulombe (biceps) was placed on the 15-day injured list on Thursday with left biceps tendinitis, according to MLB.com. The 33-year-old has been sensational this season, posting a 2.77 ERA and 1.10 WHIP with 48 punchouts over 39 innings. Coulombe only has one save to his name but has recorded 19 holds. There isn't an exact timetable for the 33-year-old's return yet, but manager Brandon Hyde is optimistic that the club will activate him when he's eligible.

The Minnesota Twins re-signed left-handed reliever
Danny Coulombe to a minor-league deal on Friday that includes an invitation to spring training next year. Coulombe became a free agent in October when he refused an outright assignment to the minor leagues, but he'll return to Minnesota for the 2023 campaign. The 33-year-old southpaw had a lost season in 2022, undergoing surgery to fix the labrum in his left hip during the summer, so he ended up making just 10 relief appearances in the first half of the season. In his 12 1/3 innings, he allowed three runs (two earned) on seven hits while walking nine and striking out nine. Over eight seasons in the big leagues, Coulombe has a 3.92 ERA (4.02 FIP), a 1.31 WHIP, 80 walks and 179 strikeouts in 192 2/3 innings over 194 appearances (one start).
