Ian Seymour goes 6 2/3 hitless to beat Royals

Tampa Bay Rays Photo Day

Ian Seymour

TB Relief Pitcher #61

Player Stats

Ian Seymour threw 6 2/3 hitless innings behind an opener in the Rays’ 13-2 win over the Royals on Thursday.

Casey Legumina retired all four batters he faced before Seymour entered, so this remained a no-hitter until the ninth, when Craig Kimbrel gave up a two-run homer to Carter Jensen. Seymour struck out seven and walked only one. Just two of the balls in play against him were hit hard. The win is his first in four outings since the Rays transitioned him into a starter/bulk guy, but he’s pitched pretty well in amassing a 2.84 ERA and a 19/5 K/BB in 19 innings. His ERA still stands at 4.32 overall, but he’s an option in deeper leagues as long as the Rays keep using him in this fashion. He’ll face the Royals again next week.

Ian Seymour delivered a brilliant performance in Thursday evening’s victory over the Royals, allowing just one run on three hits over six stellar frames.

The 27-year-old southpaw racked up eight strikeouts on the night while allowing one base on balls. The lone tally against him came on a leadoff home run off the bat of Carter Jensen. After that, Seymour locked in and completely dominated. He got 15 swings and misses on 83 pitches in the ballgame — seven on his sweeper — while registering a strong CSW of 34 percent. Now 5-1 on the season, he’ll bring a 4.02 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and a 60/21 K/BB ratio (56 innings) into Tuesday’s matchup against the Yankees.

Ian Seymour will start Thursday’s series finale against the Royals.

Seymour will work without an opener when he faces Kansas City for the second consecutive outing in another favorable road matchup. He tossed 6 2/3 hitless innings in a bulk relief outing against the Royals last week. The 27-year-old lefty has been magnificent recently, posting a pristine 3.86 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 20/8 K/BB ratio across 21 innings over five outings since the start of June. He’s an extremely attractive streaming option for fantasy managers, even in shallow mixed leagues.

Ian Seymour allowed three runs with four strikeouts over five innings in a loss against the Nationals on Saturday.

Seymour tossed a clean first inning, then gave up a solo homer to CJ Abrams to lead off the second. The Nats brought a second run in on two more hits in the inning. Two hits and a groundout scored a third run in the fifth before Seymour was replaced to start the sixth at 81 pitches. He struck out four. The 27-year-old left-hander will take a 4.98 ERA, 1.29 WHIP, and a 45/19 K/BB ratio across 43 1/3 innings into a start against the Royals in Tampa Bay on Thursday.

Ian Seymour yielded two runs in 3 1/3 innings of bulk relief Sunday against the Angels.

Casey Legumina allowed one run in 1 2/3 innings an opener today. Seymour then entered and got through the fourth scoreless before giving up two runs in the fifth. Donovan Walton homered to start the scoring, and Seymour went on to walk two batters before allowing an RBI single with two outs. Seymour has a 4.93 ERA and a 41/19 K/BB in 38 1/3 innings this season. He’s in line to start or again pitch in a bulk role against the Nationals on Saturday, but it’s possible the Rays could try something different.

TB Relief Pitcher #61

The Rays plan to have Casey Legumina open Sunday’s game against the Angels.

Ian Seymour also figures to play a significant role after throwing four scoreless innings in his start Monday against the Red Sox, but that’s not something the Rays are currently willing to confirm. Assuming Seymour has the bulk role, he’ll be a better bet for a win than a bunch of starters in action on Sunday.

Ian Seymour allowed one run over four innings on Monday in a no-decision against the Red Sox.

Seymour needed just 55 pitches to navigate four frames after entering Tampa Bay’s starting rotation in place of an ineffective Steven Matz. The 27-year-old lefty didn’t stick around long enough to qualify for a win, but he limited Boston’s offense to just a solo homer by Marcelo Mayer. He struck out five and only issued one walk. There’s some definite streaming appeal when he takes the ball against the Angels on Sunday.
Mason Englert

TB Relief Pitcher #59

The Rays will use Ian Seymour as an opener and Mason Englert as a bulk pitcher Monday against the Red Sox.

Englert allowed one run over five innings in relief against the Tigers on Wednesday, throwing 82 pitches in the process. Ideally, he’ll end up in similar territory again tomorrow.

Ian Seymour recorded his second save with a perfect ninth against the Orioles on Wednesday.

Taylor Ward lined out to center before Gunnar Henderson and Adley Rutschman grounded out in a two-run game. Seymour got to close today in place of Bryan Baker, who didn’t pitch after working three of the previous four days. Seymour has a 4.81 ERA in 24 1/3 innings, though his 27/8 K/BB is fine and he’s allowed only three homers and 21 hits.

Ian Seymour allowed one earned run over two innings while striking out two in Friday’s win over the Marlins.

Seymour made it through the first inning unscathed, retiring all three batters he faced, but allowed a solo homer to Connor Norby in the top of the second inning to give the Marlins their first run of the night. Serving as the Rays’ opener for the night, Seymour was pulled after just two innings, giving way to Jesse Scholtens. This is the first time Seymour has been used as an opener this season, so it seems unlikely he would draw another start any time soon.

Ian Seymour threw a scoreless ninth inning to record his first save of the season in a 3-0 win over the Blue Jays on Wednesday.

The Rays turned to Bryan Baker in the eighth inning to face the top of the Toronto lineup, and he set them down in order while recording one strikeout. That meant Seymour was given the ninth inning, even though Vladimir Guerrero Jr. was leading. The decision may not have been the same had the Rays not had a three-run cushion, but Seymour struck out Vladdy and then retired the next two hitters he saw on lineouts. This was the left-hander’s first save of the season, but it’s unclear if there will be many more.

Dominic Canzone is not in the Mariners’ starting lineup for Sunday’s matinee against the Blue Jays.

Canzone homered and drove in three runs on Saturday night, so the timing off the off day is a bit curious, though the Mariners are likely just trying to keep him fresh. Cal Raleigh will function as the team’s designated hitter in his place while Mitch Garver draws his first start of the week behind the dish and will bat seventh for the M’s against Trey Yesavage and the Blue Jays.

The hot-hitting outfielder will get at least a partial day off with left-hander Gage Jump toeing the slab for the Athletics. Don’t be surprised to see him make an appearance off the bench though. Liam Hicks will cover first base for the Marlins while Brian Navarreto draws a rare start behind the dish and will bat ninth for the Marlins.

Byron Buxton was removed from Sunday’s game against the Yankees after aggravating his prior hip injury.

Buxton singled in the first inning and was caught trying to steal second base, which appears to have been where he sustained the injury. Hopefully it’s just a minor issue and the Twins are being cautious here, but with Buxton’s extensive injury history you just can’t rule out the chances of him heading to the injured list. Fantasy managers should have an alternative option in place for next week in the event that the dynamic 32-year-old outfielder is forced to miss some time.

William Contreras is absent from the Brewers’ starting lineup for Sunday afternoon’s ballgame against the Rockies at Coors Field.

Since he shoulders a very heavy workload for a catcher, the Brewers are careful to mix in off days for Contreras to get him off of his feet once in a while, with Sunday afternoon games being the most common. Gary Sanchez will start in his place behind the dish and bat seventh against Diamondbacks’ southpaw Eduardo Rodriguez.
