Robert Stock spins 5 1/3 scoreless to beat Rays

Robert Stock

NYM Relief Pitcher #78

Player Stats

Robert Stock hurled 5 1/3 shutout innings in a win over the Rays on Monday.

It’s highly unlikely any fantasy managers were trusting Stock in this spot after he was lit up for seven runs by the Brewers his last time out. He kept putting zeroes on the scoreboard against one of the more potent lineups in the American League in this one, allowing just six hard-hit balls with exit velocities over 95 mph, while scattering five singles in the process. He finished with four strikeouts and didn’t hand out a free pass, throwing 50 of 72 pitches for strikes. The 36-year-old journeyman isn’t overpowering, but he fills up the strike zone and has managed to avoid getting burned by the long ball. This was his first win since April 5, 2019. Seriously. He gets a favorable road matchup against the Marlins his next time out on Monday.

Mets placed RHP Robert Stock on the 15-day injured list with finger numbness.

Stock had a 5.93 ERA in 30 1/3 innings for the Mets this season in eight appearances (seven starts). This injury will likely end his season.

Robert Stock allowed five hits and three runs with two walks and four strikeouts across four innings in a no-decision against the Marlins on Wednesday.

One poor inning sunk Stock’s night here. He breezed through the first three innings before trouble found him in the fourth. To start the frame, he plunked Otto Lopez. Then, a walk and three singles brought home three runs and already at 80 pitches, Stock wouldn’t come back out for a fifth inning. He did allow nine hard-hit balls along the way too, so it wasn’t a bad spot to pull him. He’s scheduled to make another – likely abbreviated start – at home next week against the Orioles.

Mets’ interim manager Andy Green told reporters on Thursday that Robert Stock will make at least one more start in the team’s rotation.

The 36-year-old hurler was lit up for seven runs on 10 hits and a pair of walks over four innings against the Brewers on Wednesday, so there were obvious concerns over whether or not he’d get a chance to take the ball again. Green noted that the team is monitoring their options in the minor leagues, specifically Jonah Tong, who will make at least one more start at Triple-A Syracuse before rosters expand for September.

Robert Stock allowed 10 hits and seven runs with two walks and two strikeouts over four innings in a loss to the Brewers on Wednesday.

Stock’s night spun out in the second inning when the Brewers had six straight singles that pushed four runs home. In classic Brewers fashion, not many of them were hit hard either and one even bounced directly off the mound. They could’ve done even more that inning too, but ran into a couple of outs along the way. Then, Brice Turang broke this game wide open a few innings later with a three-run home run. All in all, this was a start to forget for Stock and his rotation spot is likely on unstable ground ahead of his next turn.

Robert Stock kept the Padres to one run and two hits in 4 1/3 innings in his start Wednesday.

Stock struck out six and walked three before departing. He’s pitched a total of 16 2/3 innings in his four starts this month, but he’s been effective in three of them. His next turn will come next Wednesday against the Brewers, though with two off days coming up, the Mets could push him back.

Robert Stock allowed three hits and one unearned run with three walks and five strikeouts across 4 1/3 innings in a no-decision against the Nationals on Friday.

This was an encouraging outing for Stock after a rough previous start. The only run he gave up came after Francisco Lindor whiffed on a ground ball and he dug deep to escape a few other jams. Clearly not built up, his velocity fell sharply after he reached about 50 pitches, but that’s not a shock given his lack of starting experience in the big leagues. The Nationals also didn’t chase as many pitches out of the zone after their first time around the lineup. Still, he forced multiple whiffs with three of his four pitches and threw a few nasty cutters and changeups to left-handed batters. Stock has good enough stuff and misses and misses enough bats where you can squint and possibly see someone who can be a factor in (very) deep leagues should his stamina improve. He’s scheduled to face the Padres at home next time out.

Robert Stock was lit up for eight runs in three-plus innings by the Pirates on Saturday.

It’s criminal that Stock gave up nine hits tonight; he allowed just two hard-hit balls and a total of three with xBAs over .400. However, he did keep making things worse by walking five batters and hitting another. The thrashing leaves Stock with a 10.13 ERA after two starts. The Mets will likely eventually want to give Jonah Tong or Jack Wenninger a look in Stock’s spot, but since neither is pitching particularly well lately in Triple-A, Stock could make another start next weekend against the Nationals.

Robert Stock pitched five innings of one-run ball in his 2026 debut Sunday against the Marlins.

Unfortunately, that resulted in a loss in a 2-0 game. Stock, though, acquitted himself nicely in allowing only three hits, walking none and striking out four. He topped out at 98 mph, which is pretty good for someone most thought was going to miss the season after being diagnosed with thoracic outlet syndrome in March. Assuming that he sticks around, he’ll face the Pirates next weekend.

Mets selected the contract of RHP Robert Stock from Triple-A Syracuse.

The 36-year-old right-hander will start for the Mets on Sunday against the Marlins. Stock has made just two appearances in the big leagues since the 2021 season. He has made eight appearances (six starts) in the minors this season, where he has registered a 2.91 ERA, 0.83 WHIP and an intriguing 31/3 K/BB ratio over 21 2/3 innings. He could be worth a look as a streaming option in deeper mixed leagues on Sunday.

Robert Stock will start Sunday’s game for the Mets against the Marlins.

Stock will be added to the active roster before Sunday’s finale against Miami. The right-hander will have a chance to work relatively deep in the contest, but it’s hard to get too excited about Stock from a fantasy perspective.

Orioles manager Craig Albernaz told reporters Jackson Holliday is out of the lineup for Wednesday’s game against the Mets with general soreness.

Albernaz added that Holliday is beat up from a physical standpoint. It doesn’t sound like a massive concern, but the Orioles have added José Barrero to their taxi squad for precautionary reasons. Holliday is hitting just .202 (25-for-124) with one homer, nine RBI and two steals over his last 30 games.

Anthony Molina received a no-decision on Wednesday against the Cardinals, pitching 5 2/3 scoreless innings while striking out six.

Molina allowed two hits and walked one, falling one out short of a quality start. He was making his fourth start with the Giants, and it was the second in which he’s allowed zero earned runs over five or more innings. The Padres blasted him for seven runs last time out, however. Molina is a deep-league streamer to consider at home against the Twins in his next scheduled appearance.

Matthew Liberatore received a no-decision in Wednesday’s quality start against the Giants, allowing one earned run on six hits over six innings pitched.

Liberatore struck out two and walked three, keeping St. Louis in a game it eventually lost 6-5 in 10 innings. The club’s Opening Day starter is up to 149 1/3 innings this season, just a few shy of beating last year’s career high. While he has slightly increased his K-BB% from a season ago, the results haven’t been as good, with his ERA only falling to 5.36 after Wednesday’s performance. He’s lined up to face the Pirates on the road in his next start.

Jonah Cox went 3-for-4 with a walk, an RBI, a run scored, and two stolen bases as the Giants beat the Cardinals 6-5 in 10 innings on Wednesday.

Cox is up to 13 steals this year, which leads the Giants even though he’s played in just 53 games. He continues to lead off against lefties, as he did Wednesday against Matthew Liberatore. Due to the team’s injuries, he has hit in the top four spots of the order in every game dating back to September 5, mixing in starts at center field and second base. He’s making his case to be on the club’s Opening Day roster in 2027 and is a possible final-week streaming option for fantasy managers in deeper formats.

Drew Gilbert came off the bench Wednesday against the Cardinals to deliver a go-ahead, two-run homer in the 10th.

Gilbert deposited Riley O’Brien’s first pitch of the inning into the center-field seats, giving San Francisco a 6-4 lead in an eventual 6-5 win. He began the game on the bench with left-hander Matthew Liberatore on the mound for the Cardinals. A strict platoon hitter, Gilbert has been leading off against right-handers since mid-August. Meanwhile, Jonah Cox takes that role versus southpaws.

Jordan Walker went 0-for-3 with two walks, a run scored, and a stolen base in the Cardinals’ 6-5 loss to the Giants on Wednesday.

Walker has struggled in September, and he’s been just below league average as a hitter by wRC+ in the second half. A rising strikeout rate has been the issue this month, but the steal was his 20th of the year, making him a 20/20 player with 28 homers. The 24-year-old breakout star has been one of the most valuable players in fantasy this season, especially since he was available off waivers or drafted very late. He’ll be a fascinating player to analyze over the offseason, but he’s proven that his roto skill set is well-rounded.

Leo Bernal went 1-for-5 with an RBI as the Cardinals fell to the Giants 6-5 in 10 innings on Wednesday.

Bernal’s lone hit on the afternoon was a game-tying single in the bottom of the ninth. The rookie was hitting second for the first time Wednesday, and he has started all 15 games since debuting on September 1. Bernal’s Statcast metrics have popped in a small sample, making him a must-roster player in fantasy down the stretch. It’ll be fascinating to see how the Cardinals handle all their catching depth heading into 2027.

Angels placed Samy Natera Jr. on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to September 13, with left forearm inflammation.

Natera is presumably done for the rest of the season. The 26-year-old southpaw emerged as a viable high-leverage option for Los Angeles this season, finishing with a strong 3.13 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 48/13 K/BB ratio across 31 2/3 innings. He also picked up three saves.
