Jun 21 2024The Dodgers optioned Feyereisen to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The move comes with right-hander Landon Knack being recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City ahead of his start against the Angels on Friday. Feyereisen was called up by the Dodgers on Sunday, and in his one appearance Monday against the Rockies, he gave up four runs on four hits while striking out one over two innings. Over his 10 major-league outings this season, Feyereisen has an 8.18 ERA and 1.45 WHIP across 11 innings.
Jun 16 2024The Dodgers recalled Feyereisen from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Feyereisen and right-hander Michael Petersen will join the Los Angeles bullpen for the series finale versus the Royals, providing the club with some much-needed fresh arms in the bullpen after five Dodgers relievers covered the final seven innings of Saturday's 7-2 loss. Over his nine appearances with the Dodgers this season, Feyereisen has submitted a 6.00 ERA and 1.33 WHIP.
May 19 2024Feyereisen was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Feyereisen was called up by Los Angeles at the start of May and will head back to the minors after he allowed six earned runs with an 8:5 K:BB across nine innings. The right-hander gave up all those runs in his first two outings before he turned in seven straight scoreless appearances.
May 13 2024Feyereisen walked one and struck out one in a scoreless and hitless inning to earn the save in Monday's 6-4 extra-inning win over the Giants. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Daniel Hudson and Alex Vesia had already pitched earlier in the game, and Blake Treinen worked the ninth inning. Feyereisen got the call in the 10th after the Dodgers established a two-run lead, and he got the job done for his first save of 2024. The 31-year-old reliever struggled early in the season, allowing three runs in each of his first two outings, but this was his fifth straight scoreless appearance since he was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City on May 1. Still, Feyereisen is unlikely to receive consistent high-leverage looks.
May 1 2024The Dodgers recalled Feyereisen from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Feyereisen has put up a 3.38 ERA and 0.98 WHIP across 10.2 innings at Oklahoma City, and he'll now come up to give the Dodgers another fresh bullpen arm. Landon Knack was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move.
Apr 15 2024Feyereisen was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Monday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Feyereisen's stint with the big-league club lasted only a few days, as he was promoted Saturday. He didn't fare well in his second appearance of the 2024 campaign Sunday against the Padres, surrendering three runs on two hits and two walks in one-third of an inning.
Apr 13 2024Feyereisen was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City by the Dodgers on Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Feyereisen was knocked around for three runs over one inning of work in the second game of the Dodgers' series in South Korea versus the Padres. It was the 31-year-old's first appearance in the majors since 2022, as he missed all of 2023 following shoulder surgery. Feyereisen will probably work in middle relief for the time being.
Feb 3 2024Feyereisen (shoulder) is expected to be a "full go" for spring training, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Feyereisen was forced to miss all of last season after undergoing a shoulder procedure in December 2022. He threw a bullpen session Saturday as the latest step in his rehab program and appears set to compete for a spot in the Dodgers' bullpen in the spring. The 30-year-old reliever boasts a 2.31 ERA and 1.00 WHIP through 89.2 innings in his MLB career.
Jan 11 2024Feyereisen (shoulder) agreed to a one-year, $770K deal with the Dodgers on Thursday, avoiding arbitration, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He was traded to the Dodgers from the Rays in December of 2022 after Tampa Bay initially designated him for assignment, and he missed the entire 2023 season recovering from shoulder surgery, so it's not surprising to see Feyereisen get one of the lowest deals among arbitration-eligible players. The 30-year-old reliever did not give up an earned run in 24.1 innings for the Rays in 2022. He has four career saves in 83 appearances.
Feb 16 2023Feyereisen was placed on the 60-day injured list by the Dodgers on Thursday as he recovers from right rotator cuff and labrum surgery. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The move frees up a spot on the 40-man roster. Feyereisen was designated for assignment by the Rays after it was discovered that he needed surgery and he was subsequently traded to the Dodgers. He'll be sidelined at least until the second half.
Dec 14 2022The Dodgers acquired Feyereisen (shoulder) from the Rays on Wednesday in exchange for a minor-league reliever Jeff Belge, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Tampa Bay recently designated Feyereisen for assignment after the team announced its signing of free-agent pitcher Zach Eflin, but the 29-year-old right-hander will reclaim a 40-man roster spot as he joins his new organization. However, because Feyereisen underwent rotator cuff and labrum cleanup surgery earlier this month and isn't expected to start throwing for another four months, he'll likely be moved to the 60-day injured list before Opening Day with the expectation that he won't be ready to make his Dodgers debut until late August at the earliest. When healthy, the right-hander has been an effective reliever at the MLB level, posting a 2.31 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 11.8 K-BB% across 89.2 career innings.
Dec 13 2022Feyereisen (shoulder) was designated for assignment by the Rays on Tuesday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It was announced last week that Feyereisen had surgery on his pitching shoulder and would be sidelined for a large chunk of the 2023 season. Nevertheless, the move comes as a bit of a surprise, as the 29-year-old didn't allow a single earned run in 22 appearances in 2022 and is under team control through 2026. There figures to be interest in him on waivers.
Dec 8 2022Feyereisen underwent surgery on his right shoulder Wednesday to clean up his rotator cuff and labrum, and he's expected to be sidelined from throwing for four months, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Feyereisen was sidelined the final four months of last season due to a pinched nerve in his shoulder, and he'll now miss the start of the 2023 campaign while rehabbing from the surgery. The right-hander delivered 24.1 scoreless frames prior to the injury in 2022 and figures to fill a high-leverage role once healthy, but he's unlikely to be built up enough to pitch in the majors until at least June.
Sep 2 2022Manager Kevin Cash said Friday that Feyereisen recently felt additional discomfort in his shoulder and is "highly unlikely" to return this season, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 29-year-old has been sidelined with a pinched nerve in his shoulder since early June, and it appears he won't return to the mound this season. Feyereisen didn't allow an earned run over 24.1 innings before landing on the shelf, and it's unclear if he's expected to be ready for the start of spring training next year.
Aug 22 2022Feyereisen (shoulder) will throw another bullpen session this week prior to heading to Triple-A Durham to throw live batting practice, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Feyereisen felt good after throwing a bullpen session Monday, so he's been cleared to throw another before progressing to facing hitters. The right-hander will likely require a rehab assignment at some point, so it seems unlikely that he'll be in the mix to rejoin the Rays until at least September.
Aug 20 2022Feyereisen (shoulder) will throw a bullpen session Monday, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Feyereisen threw a bullpen session Friday and will continue ramping up his activity. He has been sidelined since June 3 and will likely require at least a brief rehab assignment before being activated. Prior to going down, Feyereisen had tallied a save and seven holds, so he will likely fit back into high-leverage situations prior to the close of the campaign.
Aug 19 2022Feyereisen (shoulder) threw a bullpen session Friday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Feyereisen has been on the injured list with a shoulder issue since early June but said after Friday's throwing session that his shoulder feels good. The right-hander will presumably require a rehab assignment at some point and hopes to rejoin the Rays around mid-September.
Aug 10 2022Feyereisen (shoulder) will undergo an MRI on Thursday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Feyereisen was cleared to resume throwing recently but experienced discomfort afterward. A better idea of his status should come into focus following his examination Thursday.
Jul 4 2022Feyereisen (shoulder) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Feyereisen was placed on the 15-day injured list in early June, and he'll be unavailable until at least the first week of August following Monday's transaction. The right-hander has been building arm strength recently, but the bone bruise in his shoulder hasn't yet fully healed. A better idea of his return timetable should come into focus once he resumes a throwing program.
Jul 1 2022Feyereisen (shoulder) has begun one-armed plyo ball exercises, Ethan Diamandas of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Manager Kevin Cash said that Feyereisen is continuing to feel better, but the bone bruise in his shoulder has not yet fully healed. As a result, he has yet to resume throwing and appears to still be at least a few weeks from returning to the mound.
Jun 21 2022Feyereisen (shoulder) is feeling better but is still only receiving treatment, Adam Berry of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Feyereisen has been sidelined since June 3 with a bone bruise in his shoulder. Manager Kevin Cash noted Monday that the issue is still causing enough soreness that Feyereisen has yet to begin throwing in any capacity. A return early in July remains possible, though Feyereisen will likely have to begin ramping up in short order to make a return prior to the All-Star break.
Jun 4 2022Feyereisen (shoulder) underwent an MRI on Saturday that revealed a bone bruise, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The right-hander was placed on the 15-day injured list Friday, but it's a positive sign that he's dealing with a bone bruise rather than an issue related to the muscles or ligaments in his shoulder. A timetable for Feyereisen's return isn't yet clear, but the Rays will likely receive an additional late-inning option soon since Andrew Kittredge (back) is expected to be reinstated from the 15-day IL in the coming days.
Jun 3 2022Feyereisen was placed on the 15-day injured list Friday with a right shoulder impingement. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Feyereisen pitched one-third of an inning Thursday, but appears to have come up lame after the appearance. He'll now be away from the team for multiple weeks while nursing his throwing shoulder, potentially looking at an extended absence. Calvin Faucher was recalled from Triple-A Durham on Friday to take his spot in the bullpen.
May 29 2022Feyereisen retired the side in order and earned the save in a 4-2 win Sunday over the Yankees. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Feyereisen needed just five pitches to retire the bottom three batters in the Yankees lineup. It was the first time he was allowed to close out a game all season. The 29-year-old has been stellar, allowing no earned runs and only nine baserunners while striking out 25 in 22 innings. He's primarily appeared in the seventh and eighth innings, but with his dominance and the Rays' closer committee, it's possible he could see more opportunities to earn saves.
May 12 2022Feyereisen (3-0) threw a scoreless ninth inning and struck out one to earn the win Wednesday against the Angels. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Feyereisen entered the game with the score tied at two and set down the Angels in order on 12 pitches, and the Rays took the lead in the 10th to set him up for the win. He has yet to allow an earned run across 15 innings this season, also maintaining a 13:3 K:BB. While Feyereisen has yet to record a save, he does have three holds and three wins while filling a versatile role as both an opener and high-leverage reliever.
May 7 2022Feyereisen will no longer open Sunday's game against the Mariners, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Feyereisen was originally slated to serve as the opener ahead of Ryan Yarbrough. Feyereisen last pitched May 6, so he should be available out of the bullpen if needed.
Apr 22 2022Feyereisen will serve as the "starter" in Saturday's game against the Red Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Rays are set for a bullpen game Saturday, as Ryan Yarbrough (groin) will be on a rehab outing while Chris Mazza (back) landed on the injured list Friday. Feyereisen has served as an opener once before this season, and he worked two scoreless innings while striking out three. It's possible he covers multiple frames again Saturday, but he won't pitch deep into the matchup.
Apr 17 2022Feyereisen pitched two perfect innings with three strikeouts as the opener in a 9-3 win Sunday against the White Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Feyereisen served as the opener for the first time in his career and retired all six batters he faced. After struggling with control in his first two seasons, he has yet to allow a walk in his first five appearances in 2022. The 29-year-old is a key piece in the Tampa Bay bullpen and has pitched in five of the team's first 10 games.
Apr 16 2022Feyereisen will serve as the opener Sunday against the White Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Rays use openers frequently, though this will be Feyereisen's first time in the role. He'll throw an inning or potentially two before turning the ball over to Tommy Romero.
Apr 13 2022Feyereisen struck out one and did not allow a baserunner in Wednesday's loss to the Athletics. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Feyereisen recorded the final two outs in the top of the ninth inning, and he struck out Cristian Pache on four pitches -- three of which were swinging strikes. Through 3.1 frames this season, Feyereisen has allowed only two baserunners and has yet to allow a run. It's possible that he occasionally picks up saves, though he has served a setup role early on.
Oct 4 2021Feyereisen generated a 1.08 ERA, 0.96 WHIP, 10.8 K/9 and three holds over the 8.1 innings covering his last seven appearances of the regular season. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Feyereisen tuned up for the upcoming postseason in fine fashion, putting the finishing touches on a strong 2020 campaign that he split between the Brewers and Rays. The right-hander was especially effective during his time with Tampa Bay, posting a 4-2 record, 2.45 ERA, six holds and three saves across 36.2 innings. Given his body of work, Feyereisen projects to be a key component of the Rays' postseason bullpen arsenal.
Sep 12 2021Feyereisen (4-4) allowed a run on three walks in two-thirds of an inning, taking the loss versus Detroit on Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The right-hander got the initial runner in the 11th inning out on a fielder's choice, which made his bases-loaded walk to Robbie Grossman count as an earned run when Victor Reyes crossed the plate as the winning run. Feyereisen has given up four runs on three hits and four walks across his last 2.1 innings in three appearances. He now has a 3.21 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 43:30 K:BB across 47.2 innings this season while logging three saves, 12 holds and three blown saves.
Aug 31 2021Feyereisen recorded his 12th hold in a win over the Red Sox on Monday, allowing a hit and recording two strikeouts across 1.1 scoreless innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Feyereisen was activated from the injured list earlier in the day after overcoming biceps and shoulder issues and immediately proved his health with a sharp 19-pitch outing. Now that he's back in the fold, Feyereisen should enjoy steady work moving forward. although his significant control issues (5.4 BB/9) may limit the amount of high-leverage assignments he sees.
Aug 30 2021The Rays reinstated Feyereisen (biceps/shoulder) from the 10-day injured list Monday, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Tampa Bay sent long reliever Josh Fleming out to Triple-A Durham to clear a spot in the bullpen for a high-leverage arm in Feyereisen, who had been on the shelf since July 21 with shoulder discomfort and right biceps tendinitis. Prior to being sidelined, Feyereisen compiled a 2.42 ERA and 1.34 WHIP to go with three saves and three holds in 21 appearances since coming over in a late-May trade with the Brewers.
Aug 25 2021Feyereisen (biceps) felt good following Tuesday's rehab appearance at Triple-A Durham, Steve Carney of Sports Radio 620 WDAE reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Feyereisen has allowed three runs on three hits and a walk in 1.2 innings across his last two rehab appearances. However, manager Kevin Cash said Wednesday that the 28-year-old reported feeling good after his most recent outing, and he could return during the Rays' weekend series in Baltimore.
Aug 23 2021Feyereisen (biceps) made rehab appearances with Triple-A Durham both Saturday and Sunday, logging a combined 1.1 innings and surrendering two earned runs on a home run while also issuing a walk and recording two strikeouts. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The trouble came in Sunday's appearance, as Feyereisen worked a perfect inning Saturday in which he recorded the pair of punchouts. Feyereisen threw a total of 19 pitches across the two outings and appears to be steering clear of any physical setbacks, so he could be back with the Rays in relatively short order if he has no residual effects from being called upon on consecutive days.
Aug 18 2021Feyereisen (biceps) fired a perfect sixth inning in Triple-A Durham's win over Jacksonville on Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The outing was Feyereisen's second rehab appearance, with his first having come with the FCL Rays on Monday. The 28-year-old threw 10 of his 13 pitches for strikes in Wednesday's appearance, but the the team's official site reports he's still estimated for a late-August return at the earliest.
Aug 17 2021Manager Kevin Cash said that Feyereisen (biceps) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Durham on Wednesday, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Feyereisen hasn't pitched since July 20 because of right biceps tendinitis. He most recently tossed a live batting practice session Friday, and now he's been granted clearance to pitch in a rehab outing with Durham. The right-hander will likely need to get multiple appearances under his belt before he's activated, but he appears to have a solid chance of rejoining the Rays' bullpen by the end of August.
Aug 11 2021Tampa Bay manager Kevin Cash said Feyereisen (biceps) could begin a rehab assignment early next week in the rookie-level Florida Complex League, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The rehab assignment will be contingent on Feyereisen coming out of his live batting practice session Friday no worse for the wear. Feyereisen posted a 2.42 ERA and gathered three saves and three holds in 21 relief appearances for Tampa Bay before landing on the injured list in late July with right biceps tendinitis.
Aug 7 2021Feyereisen (biceps) threw a successful bullpen session Saturday, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: While it's not clear how many pitches Feyereisen threw in Saturday's throwing session, it's encouraging that he didn't encounter any issues in his return to mound work. The Rays' medical staff will monitor how the right-hander's injury responds in the coming days before determining the next step in his recovery.
Aug 6 2021Feyereisen (biceps) will throw a bullpen session Saturday, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Feyereisen landed on the injured list July 21 due to biceps tendinitis, but he underwent an MRI that didn't reveal any structural damage. The right-hander's weekend return to the mound was expected, and he'll now begin the process of ramping up his workload before the team doctors clear him to return to game action.
Aug 3 2021Manager Kevin Cash said Feyereisen (biceps) will begin throwing off a mound soon, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Having been on the injured list since July 22, Feyereisen figures to require considerable mound work and possibly a rehab assignment before rejoining the Rays. The righty was scuffling before going on the IL, as he allowed five earned runs in his last five appearances after holding opponents scoreless in his previous 13 games.
Jul 22 2021Feyereisen (shoulder) underwent an MRI on Thursday that revealed no structural damage to his shoulder, though he is dealing with some biceps tendinitis, Steve Carney of Sports Radio 620 WDAE reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The right-hander landed on the injured list Wednesday with right shoulder discomfort, but his shoulder actually checked out fine. Feyereisen is expected to be sidelined beyond the 10-day minimum, though he should not face an extended absence.
Jul 21 2021Tampa Bay placed Feyereisen on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with right shoulder discomfort, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Rays summoned Chris Mazza from Triple-A Durham to replace Feyereisen in the bullpen and on the 26-man active roster. Since being acquired from the Brewers on May 21, Feyereisen has stepped in as a key piece in the late innings for the Rays, compiling a 2.42 ERA, 1.34 WHIP, four wins, three saves and three holds over 21 appearances. According to Steve Carney of Sports Radio 620 WDAE, Feyereisen said he will undergo an MRI later Wednesday, which should provide a better indication of his timeline for a return.
Jul 14 2021Feyereisen owns a 3-1 record, 1.35 ERA and three holds across the 13.1 innings covering his 13 appearances since June 1. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 28-year-old has been yet another productive bullpen find for manager Kevin Cash, with Feyereisen progressively working himself into higher-leverage assignments with his consistently effective work since arriving from the Brewers in the Willy Adames trade May 21. Feyereisen even has three saves (six chances) with Tampa and is holding either handedness of hitter to sub-.200 BAAs, with the one lingering concern being significant control issues that have led to a 5.1 BB/9 across 38.2 total innings this season.
Jun 24 2021Feyereisen (4-3) walked one and did not allow a hit over one inning of relief to earn the win in Thursday's 1-0 victory over Boston. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Feyereisen pitched a tidy ninth inning of a scoreless tie, working around a Rafael Devers walk to set down Xander Bogaerts, Hunter Renfroe and Enrique Hernandez. Feyereisen has allowed just one unearned run over 9.2 innings during the month of June, albeit with an underwhelming 8:9 K:BB. He hasn't had a save opportunity since May 31 but still remains squarely in the late-inning picture for the Rays.
Jun 15 2021Feyereisen (3-2) picked up the win Monday, striking out two over two perfect innings of relief in a 5-2 victory over the White Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: An early exit for Tyler Glasnow (elbow) put the win up for grabs, and Feyereisen was judged to be the most effective of Tampa Bay's relievers by the official scorer after shutting down Chicago in the sixth and seventh frames. The 28-year-old has yet to see a save opportunity in June, but he's racked up two wins and two holds without allowing a run in 5.2 innings despite a shaky 5:8 K:BB.
Jun 9 2021Feyereisen recorded his first hold in a win over the Nationals on Tuesday, allowing no hits but issuing three walks over one-third of an inning. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Feyereisen had an extremely labor-intensive sub-one-inning outing, getting only 12 of 26 pitches into the strike zone while creating a heap of trouble that Ryan Thompson was able to subsequently wiggle out of. The 28-year-old is working on a five-appearance scoreless streak and sports an outstanding 1.04 ERA, but his 5.8 BB/9 across 28 innings remains an albatross.
Jun 6 2021Feyereisen (2-2) earned the win in relief Sunday against the Rangers after tossing 1.1 scoreless innings, walking two and fanning two. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Feyereisen compiled his fourth straight scoreless appearance and continues to pitch at a high level even when he's called upon duty in non-save situations. The right-hander owns a 2.60 ERA on the season and continues to look comfortable in high-leverage situations, meaning he'll remain a key piece of the Rays' bullpen going forward.
May 31 2021Feyereisen gave up a hit and struck out one in a scoreless ninth inning Monday to record his third save of the season in a 3-1 win over the Yankees. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: A Rougned Odor double with two outs made things a bit interesting, but Feyereisen then struck out Miguel Andujar to end the threat. The right-hander has a win, save or blown save in all five of his appearances since joining Tampa Bay, and even if he doesn't completely usurp Diego Castillo in the ninth inning for the Rays, Feyereisen seems very comfortable in a high-leverage role.
May 29 2021Feyereisen earned the save during Saturday's 5-3 win over the Rays by recording one strikeout and not allowing a baserunner during the ninth inning. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Diego Castillo tossed a scoreless eighth inning to line up for the victory, and Feyereisen closed the door in the ninth to nab his second save since being acquired by the Rays last week. Manager Kevin Cash will mix-and-match his options for saves -- four different relievers and recorded multiple saves this season -- and Feyereisen has quickly established himself as a trusted option for his new team. Castillo should be looked at as the primary closer, but Feyereisen is in the mix along with Pete Fairbanks, Jeffrey Springs and Andrew Kittredge.
May 26 2021Feyereisen (1-2) allowed one earned run on one hit and struck out one to earn the win Wednesday against the Royals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Feyereisen entered the game in the ninth inning to protect a one-run lead, but he promptly allowed a leadoff home run that tied the score. The Rays stuck with him, and he went on to retire the next six batters he faced to earn the win. It was the second time the Rays have used Feyereisen in a save situation since he was acquired May 21, though Diego Castillo still figures to work as the primary closer for the time being.
May 24 2021Feyereisen earned the save Sunday against the Blue Jays after tossing a scoreless ninth inning, giving up a hit and fanning two. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Feyereisen had gone 0-for-2 in save opportunities this season, though both came when he was still a member of the Brewers. The Rays have a well-earned reputation for getting the most out of previously unheralded pitchers and Feyereisen has responded well since getting traded last week, as he has tossed two scoreless innings with three strikeouts after changing teams.
May 21 2021Feyereisen and Drew Rasmussen were traded from the Brewers to the Rays on Friday in exchange for Willy Adames and Trevor Richards, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Rays have a well-earned reputation for getting the most out of previously unheralded pitchers, so it's possible they see something in Feyereisen, but the 28-year-old hasn't shown much in 28.2 career major-league innings. His 4.08 ERA is decent enough but comes with a 5.32 FIP and 5.02 xFIP, as he's combined a merely average 23.7 percent strikeout rate with a poor 14.0 percent walk rate.
May 20 2021Feyereisen allowed two earned runs in an inning of relief and took the loss Wednesday as the Brewers fell to the Royals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Feyereisen did not give up an earned run over his first 17 appearances of the season, but he allowed at least one earned run -- and seven runs in all -- in three of his last four trips to the mound. He remains in the third spot in the Brewers' bullpen for the time being, but he's going to have to get back on track in order to hang onto it.
Apr 25 2021Feyereisen tossed a scoreless seventh inning and picked up a hold in his third consecutive appearance in Saturday's victory over the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Feyereisen has not allowed an earned run in 11 appearances this season, and his strong start has helped him secure a key role in the Brewers' bullpen, allowing him to pick up a hold in three of the club's last four wins. He's still not in a very fantasy-friendly role with Josh Hader and Devin Williams ahead of him on the depth chart, but he is presumably in position to get a save opportunity should both fellow relievers be unavailable in a given game.
Apr 18 2021Feyereisen (0-1) allowed an unearned run on a hit and walk with one strikeout in one inning Sunday versus the Pirates. He took the extra-inning loss. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Feyereisen allowed a leadoff double by Colin Moran that scored Bryan Reynolds in the 10th inning. The 28-year-old Feyereisen has yet to allow an earned run this season -- both runs against him in eight appearances have come unearned. He has added seven strikeouts and a hold across eight innings. The right-hander is likely to continue in mainly low-leverage assignments.
Apr 11 2021Feyereisen tossed a scoreless inning of relief in Saturday's victory over the Cardinals. He struck out two batters and did not allow a baserunner. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Feyereisen gave up an unearned run on a hit and two walks in the fourth of his five appearances out of the Brewers' bullpen, but he allowed one walk and nothing else in his other four outings to date. Feyereisen is not working in a fantasy-friendly role, but he has solidified his hold on a roster spot.
Mar 31 2021Feyereisen was informed Wednesday that he will be included in the Brewers' Opening Day bullpen, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Feyereisen earned his spot after giving up just one hit (a solo home run) while posting a 17:2 K:BB in 9.1 innings this spring. Josh Hader is Milwaukee's closer and reigning NL Rookie of the Year Devin Williams is locked in as the top setup man, but the bullpen pecking order is fairly unsettled beyond the top two options. If Feyereisen is able to carry over his form from the spring into the regular season, he could emerge as a key cog in the bridge to Williams and Hader.
Sep 25 2020Feyereisen was recalled from the alternate training site for Friday's doubleheader against the Cardinals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 27-year-old was last with the big-league club in mid-September and will serve as the 29th man for Friday's twin bill. Feyereisen has appeared in five games and given up six runs on four hits with a 7:5 K:BB over 8.1 innings this season.
Sep 14 2020Feyereisen was optioned to the Brewers' alternate training site Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Feyereisen made four relief appearances during his most recent stint in the majors, allowing five runs on three hits and five walks while striking out six over 7.1 innings during that time. However, his results faltered recently as he allowed four runs over 3.1 innings during his last two outings. The 27-year-old will return to alternate camp after Ray Black was reinstated from the 45-day injured list in a corresponding move.
Aug 23 2020Feyereisen was recalled from the alternate training site Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Feyereisen cracked the Opening Day roster, but he was sent to the alternate training site in early August after allowing one run over one inning during his lone appearance. Angel Perdomo was optioned to the alternate site Sunday in a corresponding move.
Aug 6 2020Feyereisen was optioned to the Brewers' alternate training site Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He has not pitched since July 24, when he gave up one run in one inning against the Cubs. Feyereisen may be called upon again this season when the Brewers have need of a fresh bullpen arm.
Jul 23 2020Feyereisen will open the season on the Brewers' 30-man roster. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Feyereisen would likely have opened the season in the minors had rosters not expanded, but with teams allowed to carry 30 players he was able to land a spot in the Brewers' bullpen. Feyereisen has never pitched in the majors, but the Wisconsin native will now have the chance to make his big-league debut while wearing the uniform of his hometown squad.
Jun 29 2020The Brewers list Feyereisen among the 45 players included on their initial 60-man roster pool released Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Feyereisen had been optioned to Double-A Biloxi in late March, but his inclusion in the roster pool reverses that transaction. The right-hander reliever will be eligible to appear in big-league games for the Brewers, but he probably won't be asked to pitch in key spots, at least not right away. Feyereisen, who has yet to make his MLB debut, submitted a 2.49 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 94:31 K:BB over 61.1 innings with the Yankees' Triple-A affiliate at Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in 2019.
Mar 27 2020Feyereisen was optioned to Double-A Biloxi Thursday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The right-hander was added to Milwaukee's 40-man roster in November to protect him from the Rule 5 draft, but he's on track to begin the season in the minors. Feyereisen was acquired by the Brewers in September after spending the previous three years at Triple-A with the Yankees, so it's curious to see him optioned to Double-A, even if there are no games currently on the horizon.
