Madison Bumgarner Doesn't Work Out Friday
5 years agoArizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Madison Bumgarner was one of the eight to 10 players who did not work out at Chase Field on the first day of summer camp on Friday. Bumgarner is waiting for clearance from the COVID-19 test protocols. MadBum doesn't necessarily have coronavirus, and he could be cleared to join workouts as soon as this weekend if his tests come back negative. The veteran left-hander no longer has high upside as a fantasy starter, but the four-time All-Star should provide useful innings for fantasy owners in the shortened season. Consider him a relatively safe SP3 on draft day. Bumgarner went 9-9 with a 3.90 ERA, 1.13 WHIP, 203 strikeouts and 43 walks in 34 starts in his final season with the Giants in 2019.

Diamondbacks Designate Madison Bumgarner For Assignment
2 years agoThe Arizona Diamondbacks designated left-hander Madison Bumgarner for assignment on Thursday after four ugly starts to open the 2023 campaign, according to sources. Bumgarner has a 10.26 ERA in his four starts this year and entered the season still owed $37 million on his five-year, $85 million deal that he signed before the 2020 season. The 33-year-old veteran southpaw just hasn't had it early on this year, as he's allowed 20 runs (19 earned) on 25 hits (four home runs surrendered) while walking 15 and striking out 10 in 16 2/3 innings over his four starts. This will effectively end his time with Arizona, and he'll be on the open market shortly after passing through waivers. A change of scenery could help MadBum, but fantasy managers shouldn't bet on it.

Madison Bumgarner Could Miss Next Start
2 years agoArizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Madison Bumgarner is off to a horrendous beginning to the season. The left-hander was torched for seven runs over three innings of work during Wednesday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. He holds a 10.26 ERA, 2.40 WHIP and 10/15 K/BB ratio across four starts this season. Following Wednesday's game, manager Torey Lovullo said he isn't committing to Bumgarner making his next start. He continued by saying that he'll need to talk it over before making a decision. The 33-year-old might find his way into the bullpen if things don't start getting better for him on the mound.

Madison Bumgarner Takes The Loss Versus Miami
2 years agoArizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Madison Bumgarner had another ugly performance on Friday in the loss to the Miami Marlins. The lefty was on the hill for the third time this season. However, things weren't any different, with Bumgarner allowing nine hits and five earned runs through five innings. He now sits on a rough 0-2 record and a miserable 7.90 ERA (13 2/3 innings). That said, Bumgarner has likely found his way off fantasy rosters, which will remain the trend until he turns things around.

Madison Bumgarner Expects To Make Next Start
2 years agoArizona Diamondbacks left-hander Madison Bumgarner (arm) said his left arm feels better and he's thrown since returning to Phoenix. He expected to make his next scheduled start on Friday against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Bumgarner dealt with fatigue in his first start of the year and thinks he just overdid his throwing in the week prior to the start. The 33-year-old allowed five runs on four hits while walking four in four innings against the Dodgers in his season debut last Saturday. He doesn't have any structural damage in his arm, though, so he won't need a trip to the injured list. Fantasy managers should be extremely wary of using MadBum in a rematch with a potent Dodgers lineup.
