Sean Poppen Promoted From Durham
4 years agoTampa Bay Rays relief pitcher Sean Poppen was recalled from Triple-A on Saturday. The 27-year-old righty was acquired from Pittsburgh back in May for cash and has played relatively well during his limited time in Durham. However, he doesn't have much fantasy value, so managers can surely keep him off the roster unless he finds a spark and a more prominent role with the big club.

Sean Poppen Outrighted To Triple-A
2 years agoSan Diego Padres right-hander Sean Poppen has cleared waivers and has been outrighted to Triple-A El Paso. The Padres initially claimed Poppen off waivers from the Arizona Diamondbacks. The 28-year-old saw action 29 times out of the bullpen for the Snakes in 2022, posting a 4.40 ERA (5.21 FIP), 1.36 WHIP, 12 walks and only 22 strikeouts in 28 2/3 innings pitched. He has an ERA over 5.00 in four major-league seasons with the D-backs, Minnesota Twins, Pittsburgh Pirates and Tampa Bay Rays, and he hasn't been much better in the minor leagues. Poppen will strictly serve as minor-league relief depth in 2023 if he remains with the organization.
