Roman Quinn Carried Off With Achilles Injury
Roman Quinn (Achilles) left Saturday's game against the Rays with an apparent injury. Quinn was attempting to score from first on a double by Ronald Torreyes and came up lame as he rounded third base. Quinn was able to hop home to score the run, but he was visibly in pain sitting on home plate and was eventually carried off the field. Quinn wasn't much of a fantasy asset thanks to his .160 batting average, but he provided strong defense and would pinch-run frequently thanks to his 99th percentile sprint speed. Assuming Quinn lands on the injured list, Odubel Herrera would have more job security in center field.

Roman Quinn Signed By Rays
Roman Quinn on Thursday. The 29-year-old was released by the Kansas City Royals just a day earlier. The Rays will be Quinn's third team this season as he began the year with the Philadelphia Phillies. He will be one of the team's replacements to outfielder Harold Ramirez (thumb), who fractured his thumb right before the All-Star break. Quinn has slashed just .162/.225/.189 at the plate this year, but he's stolen 43 bases across 201 MLB games dating back to 2016.

Roman Quinn, Brad Peacock Released By Royals
Roman Quinn and right-handed pitchers Brad Peacock and Brandon Barker. Quinn began the 2022 season with the Philadelphia Phillies, but he was designated for assignment by the team in early June. After clearing waivers, he elected free agency and signed with the Royals. The 29-year-old hit just .162/.225/.189 over 23 games with the Phillies this year. Peacock, meanwhile, had been down at Triple-A Omaha all year. Over 35 relief appearances, he pitched to a stellar 1.64 ERA and 1.28 WHIP. Given those solid results, it seems likely the 34-year-old will land another minors contract soon.
