Alex Faedo Being Moved To Relief Role
1 year agoDetroit Tigers right-hander Alex Faedo will be moved from the starting rotation to the bullpen for now as a multi-inning reliever, according to manager A.J. Hinch. Faedo might have some "scheduled" relief outings of two to three innings and could also piggyback with left-hander Joey Wentz. It's still possible that Faedo makes a start or two in the final month of the regular season in September. The 27-year-old former first-round pick in 2017 out of Florida hasn't lived up to expectations and has gone 2-5 this year with a 4.98 ERA (5.10 FIP), 1.09 WHIP, 17 walks and 47 strikeouts in 56 innings pitched over his 11 starts for Detroit in his second big-league season. Faedo obviously will be losing what little fantasy value he had left in 2023.
