Scrubb

Scrubb made 38 relief appearances for the Astros from 2020-2021, but didn’t pitch this past season due to injury. MLB.com’s Anthony DiComo adds that the 28-year-old righty has been throwing in the mid-90’s recently in the Puerto Rican Winter League. There’s a chance he could crack New York’s bullpen at some point this upcoming season.

Scrubb cleared waivers and will remain with the organization for the time being. He posted a 5.03 ERA in 19 2/3 innings this past season with Houston.

The 26-year-old has been out of action since July 19 with a right shoulder strain after producing a 5.03 ERA and 1.47 WHIP over 19 2.3 innings for the Astros this season. Scrubb will return to the Triple-A Round Rock for the time being where he posted a 1.64 ERA over 11 frames.

This move clears out a 40-man roster spot for Pedro Baez, who is off the 60-day IL and finally ready to make his season debut for the Astros. Scrubb has been out since mid-July due to a right shoulder strain and there is no timetable for his return.

Scrubb had been pitching well of late but now will be on the shelf for a while. Catcher Garrett Stubbs has assumed his roster spot.

Tough times for starting pitchers in this one, as both Jose Urquidy and Travis Lakins exited early in the contest due to injuries. Scrubb came on in relief and kept the Astros off the scoreboard in his stead. Not that he made it easy on himself -- he walked three even despite not allowing a hit. Nothing out of the ordinary, there, as Scrubb has walked 10 batters in his last five appearances. He has no fantasy value.

Scrubb was just up over the weekend for Saturday’s doubleheader but didn’t make an appearance. He holds a 7.62 ERA over 13 relief innings this season.

The right-hander was recalled to serve as the 27th man during Saturday’s doubleheader versus the Tigers, but will now head right back to Triple-A Sugar Land. Scrubb did not make an appearance during the contest and carries a 7.62 ERA this season at the big league level with a 1.85 WHIP over 13 frames.
