Josh Fleming Set For Bulk Role Friday
2 years agoTampa Bay Rays left-hander Josh Fleming is expected to work the bulk innings against the New York Yankees on Friday after right-hander Trevor Kelley opens up the ballgame for the Rays. For fantasy purposes, Fleming is much more attractive, albeit in a dicey matchup in the Bronx. Each of Fleming's last three appearances for Tampa have been in the bulk-reliever role. Over that span, the 26-year-old southpaw has allowed seven runs on 13 hits (two homers) while walking and eight and striking out four. That shouldn't inspire any confidence in fantasy managers to roll the dice on Fleming in his bulk outing on Friday against the Yankees. Overall, he has a 4.55 ERA (4.57 FIP), 1.48 WHIP, 13 walks and 15 K's in 27 2/3 innings pitched.
