Robert Stephenson Hits 60-Day Injured List
3 days agoAccording to Jeff Fletcher of the SoCal News Group, Los Angeles Angels right-handed pitcher Robert Stephenson (elbow) has been placed on the 60-day injured list. The 31-year-old underwent Tommy John surgery last May and is not expected to return to the mound until sometime in July. Stephenson was unable to pitch at all during the 2024 campaign. In 2023, Stephenson held a strong 3.10 ERA and a 0.88 WHIP across 52 1/3 innings. He tallied 77 punchouts and allowed walks at an 8.0 percent rate. That season, he generated a strong 2.73 xERA and a .180 xBA. By putting him on the 60-day injured list, the Angels were able to open a roster spot for relief pitcher Kenley Jansen, who the team officially signed earlier on Saturday. When Stephenson does return, fantasy managers should expect him to have a high-leverage role in the bullpen.
