Jump

Backdating the IL assignment means Jump will be able to return the day after the season ends, which seems useful. Jump finishes off a promising rookie season 6-11 with a 5.47 ERA and a 108/46 K/BB in 98 2/3 innings. On another team, he’d be of interest in shallow leagues next spring. As a member of the A’s, he has one more year to go in a minor league ballpark before he’ll offer much in the way of upside.

Jump said he felt the tightness while warming up for the outing. His average fastball velocity was down 2.6 mph over the two innings, and it’s pretty obvious he never should have taken the mound in the first place. Even if this proves to be nothing significant, there’s no way the A’s should let the 23-year-old make another start this season.

Jump threw 39 pitches in three scoreless innings and then 43 while giving up two runs in the fourth. Incredibly, he struck out three in a row then after giving up five straight hits to start the inning. Still, that was the end of Jump’s day. The A’s probably won’t be very aggressive with the 23-year-old from here on in, but he figures to stay in the rotation and take on the Mariners again next week.

Jump gave up six hits, walked three and struck out two. The 23-year-old left-hander had a 4.00 ERA in 12 starts entering August, but has struggled since. In six August starts, Jump managed a 7.71 ERA. He has a 5.15 ERA in his first 18 major league starts. Jump is lined up to face the Mariners on the road on Sunday, though he’s not a recommended fantasy option.

Jump had shut the Twins down over six scoreless innings before Minnesota finally got to him in the seventh, scoring a run on two hits. He’d leave with one out and a runner on at 94 pitches, collecting nine strikeouts. The 23-year-old left-hander will take a 4.69 ERA, 1.46 WHIP, and a 97/42 K/BB ratio across 88 1/3 innings into a start against the Rangers in Texas on Monday.

The 23-year-old southpaw walked three batters in the ballgame while striking out three. He served up a solo homer to Bobby Witt Jr. in the opening inning, then the Royals added on with two runs each on the third and fourth innings. Jump generated just five whiffs on 86 pitches on the day, posting an uninspiring CSW of 24 percent. He’ll look to bounce back as he brings an uneven 4.83 ERA, 1.51 WHIP and an 88/40 K/BB ratio (82 innings) into Tuesday’s start against the Twins.

Jump had a 3-0 lead until giving up a walk, an infield single and a three-run homer with one out in the sixth. He was pulled immediately after the game-tying blast from Jake Burger. Jump will pitch in Kansas City next week, making him a streaming option in deeper leagues.

The Red Sox put a pair of runs on the board in the opening frame, scoring two on a single, walk, double steal, and a base hit. Jump then settled in nicely, pitching five more scoreless innings while collecting an impressive 11 strikeouts for his first career double-digit strikeout performance. The 23-year-old left-hander will take a 4.46 ERA, 1.46 WHIP, and an 84/33 K/BB ratio across 72 2/3 innings into a start against the Rangers in Sacramento on Friday.

Jump walked a career-high six batters, but it didn’t hurt him severely until the fourth inning. After issuing a pair of one-out walks, he gave up a two-run single to Gleyber Torres. He walked another batter before being pulled for Elvis Alvarado, who served up a two-run double to close the book on Jump’s afternoon. The rookie southpaw has walked 14 batters in 14 1/3 innings over his last three starts, so he’s much too erratic to trust in mixed fantasy leagues. He’ll get the Red Sox on the road next time out.

Jump dominated the Red Sox in Sacramento on Tuesday, holding Boston scoreless over six innings. He scattered three hits and stranded four walks, striking out seven on 90 pitches. The 23-year-old left-hander will look to build on the strong outing when he takes a 4.00 ERA, 1.40 WHIP, and a 68/25 K/BB ratio across 63 innings into a start against the Tigers in Sacramento on Sunday.
