Tyler

Tyler augments Chicago’s starting pitching depth at Triple-A Charlotte. The well-traveled 28-year-old righty hasn’t pitched in the majors since making eight appearances (seven starts) last year for Miami. He’s compiled a serviceable 4.19 ERA across 66 2/3 innings (14 appearances, 12 starts) this season at the Triple-A level between the Phillies and Orioles organizations.

Tyler test the free agent waters in search of a new opportunity instead of accepting an outright assignment to Triple-A Norfolk. The 28-year-old righty was removed from Baltimore’s 40-man roster over the weekend. He was claimed off waivers from the Phillies back in mid-June. He should be able to latch on somewhere as organizational relief depth.

Tyler has the option to elect free agency after passing through waivers unclaimed. The 28-year-old righty was removed from Baltimore’s 40-man roster over the weekend. He was claimed off waivers from the Phillies back in mid-June.

The Orioles needed to clear a spot on their 40-man roster for Emmanuel Rivera on Saturday and Tyler drew the short straw this time around. There’s a chance that the 28-year-old right-hander will once again garner interest on waivers.

Tyler will head to Triple-A Norfolk as extra organizational relief depth. The 28-year-old righty was removed from Philadelphia’s 40-man roster last weekend.

Tyler hasn’t pitched in the majors isnce making a career-high eight appearances (seven starts) last year for the Marlins. The 28-year-old righty is a strong bet to pass through waivers unclaimed and remains with the Phillies at Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

That’s a bad day for a pitcher who appears to have a real shot of making the Phillies as a middle reliever. Tyler, who was claimed off waivers from the Marlins in August, had allowed just two runs in 7 2/3 innings coming into this one.

Tyler was claimed off waivers last week from the division-rival Marlins and will serve as emergency pitching depth for the Phillies back at Triple-A Lehigh Valley for now.

The Marlins could have taken a look at Tyler as a middle reliever, but they won’t right now. He had a 5.40 ERA and a 25/18 K/BB ratio in 31 2/3 innings over seven starts and one relief appearance.

The 27-year-old has now made it beyond five innings just once in seven starts this season. He does post strong whiff rates, inducing 14 whiffs on 34 swings for a 41 percent whiff rate and 33 percent CSW, but he also gives up a lot of hard contact and struggles to find the zone consistently. He is not a recommended fantasy play in any format until he can improve in those areas.
