2 months agoAccording to Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times, the Tampa Bay Rays have designated left-handed pitcher
Brandon Eisert for assignment. This transaction opened a roster spot for infielder
Ha-Seong Kim, who the team officially signed on Monday. The Rays acquired Eisert from the Blue Jays last week. The 27-year-old spent has spent his entire professional career in Toronto. Last season, Eisert held a 4.05 ERA and a 1.35 WHIP across six 2/3 innings of work. Across 53 2/3 innings at Triple-A last summer, the left-handed pitcher posted a 3.86 ERA and a 1.34 WHIP. He struck out 66 batters and served up 21 free passes. Fantasy managers should expect Eisert to open the season at Triple-A, given his lack of MLB experience.

3 months agoAccording to Keegan Matheson of MLB.com, the Toronto Blue Jays have designated left-handed pitcher
Brandon Eisert for assignment. This transaction opened a roster spot for outfielder
Anthony Santander, who the team signed to a five-year contract earlier on Monday. Eisert made his major league debut last summer. Across a small six 2/3 inning stint, the southpaw allowed three earned runs with a 4:2 BB:K ratio. Through 53 2/3 innings at Triple-A Buffalo, Eisert posted a 3.86 ERA and a 1.34 WHIP. He struck out 66 batters. This was a slight improvement compared to the 4.17 ERA and the 1.32 WHIP he posted with Triple-A Buffalo during the 2023 season. Given his lack of major league experience and success, Eisert will likely spend most of the 2025 season in the minor leagues.

9 months agoToronto Blue Jays relief pitcher
Brandon Eisert was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo on Sunday, July 14, according to Keegan Matheson of MLB.com. In a corresponding move, the Blue Jays optioned right-handed pitcher
Bowden Francis to Triple-A. Eisert made one major league appearance earlier this season on June 17 and tossed two scoreless frames. He allowed one hit and three free passes. At Triple-A Buffalo, the Oregon State product posted a 5.17 ERA and 1.66 WHIP across 31 ⅓ innings. The southpaw should continue to operate in a bullpen role in his second stint in the major leagues and could eventually be used in a bulk relief role, as he recorded over six outs in several outings in the minor leagues this season.
