Jun 8 2025Uceta (5-1) didn't allow a baserunner across two scoreless innings with three strikeouts to earn the win Sunday against the Marlins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Uceta struggled in his appearance Friday, allowing two earned runs on three hits while recording just one out. However, he bounced back Sunday and generated an impressive six swinging strikes on only 25 total pitches while also picking up his fifth win of the season. Uceta has a 4.88 ERA on the campaign, but he has turned in a scoreless effort in seven of his last eight appearances.
May 9 2025Uceta allowed three earned runs on four hits across 0.2 innings Thursday against the Phillies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Uceta was viewed as one of the top setup men in baseball entering the season, but he hasn't lived up to that billing over the first six weeks. He's allowed at least one earned run in five of his 17 appearances, and more concerningly has a pedestrian 13:6 K:BB across 15.2 frames. Uceta does lead the Rays with six holds, so he remains part of the high-leverage mix behind closer Pete Fairbanks.
Mar 11 2025Uceta threw 1.2 scoreless innings against the Blue Jays on Sunday and now has a 2.08 ERA and 0.92 WHIP through four Grapefruit League appearances. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The right-hander struck out the side in his spring debut back on Feb. 25. Overall, he has held opponents to a .143 BAA during this year's exhibition slate. Uceta had one of the highest strikeout rates in baseball in the second half last year at nearly 40 percent, and he looks like the top candidate for saves in Tampa Bay behind primary closer Pete Fairbanks entering the 2025 regular season.
Sep 27 2024Uceta allowed a hit and struck out one batter in a scoreless inning while earning a save against Boston on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Uceta worked around a one-out single by Vaughn Grissom in the ninth inning to preserve the 2-1 win. It was Uceta's fifth save of the year, with all of them coming during his last 12 appearances. During that span, he's converted each of his five save chances while tallying three holds alongside a 2.77 ERA. For the season, Uceta has produced a terrific 1.51 ERA and 57:8 K:BB through 41.2 innings.
Sep 23 2024Uceta allowed one earned run on two hits and one walk while striking out one in the ninth inning to earn the save Sunday against the Blue Jays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Uceta was called upon to protect a two-run lead and allowed the tying run to reach third base with only one out. However, he recorded the final two outs without allowing the ball out of the infield to record his fourth save of the season. Uceta remains one of the most skilled pitchers in the Rays' bullpen, but a different reliever has now converted each of the team's four save chances.
Sep 13 2024Uceta picked up the save in Friday's 3-1 victory over Cleveland, pitching 1.2 clean innings with two strikeouts. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Uceta relieved Mason Montgomery with one out in the eighth after the latter allowed two hits to his three batters faced. Uceta efficiently retired five straight batters on only 18 pitches to lock down the Rays win in his first appearance since serving a two-game suspension for intentionally hitting Nick Castellanos on Tuesday. He has now pitched to a 1.42 ERA, 0.76 WHIP and 53:6 K:BB with three saves across 38 innings this season. The 26-year-old has been an elite reliever and is in the fluid mix for Tampa Bay save opportunities while Pete Fairbanks (lat) remains on the injured list.
Sep 11 2024Uceta's suspension was reduced Wednesday from three games to two games plus a fine, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The reliever's suspension comes after umpires determined he intentionally hit Nick Castellanos with a pitch during Tuesday's loss to Philadelphia. Uceta will begin serving the suspension Wednesday, but the Rays will now be able to add him to their bullpen a day earlier than initially expected.
Sep 8 2024Uceta notched his second save of the season Sunday against Baltimore, allowing one hit and one walk while striking out four in 1.2 innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Called upon to preserve a 2-0 lead with two runners on and one out in the eighth, Uceta promptly struck out the next two batters to escape the jam. Uceta then worked around a single and a walk in the ninth to pick up his second save of the season. Save opportunities have been few and far between, but Uceta has been dominant since Pete Fairbanks (lat) landed on the injured list on Aug. 19, throwing 7.1 scoreless innings with a sparkling 15:2 K:BB during that stretch. The 26-year-old Uceta hasn't allowed a run since July 31 and owns a pristine 0.75 ERA, 0.69 WHIP and 50:6 K:BB in 36 innings this season.
Sep 4 2024Uceta allowed two hits and struck out two across 0.2 innings Tuesday against the Twins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Uceta was called upon to protect a 2-1 lead in the ninth inning. He allowed consecutive singles to lead off the frame, but he did strike out the next two batters he faced before being pulled in favor of Garrett Cleavinger. Despite losing out on a save chance, Uceta has still been excellent since Pete Fairbanks (lat) went on the injured list by racking up an 11:1 K:BB across 5.2 innings while recording a save, a hold and a win.
Aug 20 2024Uceta struck out one over 1.1 perfect innings to earn the save in Tuesday's 1-0 win over the Athletics. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Uceta received the first save opportunity since Pete Fairbanks (lat) went on the injured list Monday, and he went on to convert his first major-league save. Uceta retired four batters on a total of nine pitches (seven strikes), extending his scoreless streak to 10.1 innings in the process. He emerged as a setup man after the All-Star break and now has a chance to be part of a closing committee that doesn't have a clear favorite to lead the way just yet. For the year, Uceta has a 0.90 ERA, 0.57 WHIP and 36:4 K:BB over 30 innings. While he doesn't have stellar velocity -- he doesn't throw a four-seamer, and his fastest pitch is a 93.9 mph sinker -- Uceta continues to thrive mostly by inducing weak contact and getting batters to chase pitches at an above-average rate.
Jul 28 2024Uceta pitched two shutout innings of relief in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Reds, allowing one hit and zero walks while striking out four. He did not factor into the decision. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Shawn Armstrong opened the game for the Rays, pitching two innings before giving way to Uceta. The 26-year-old Uceta fanned four batters in just two innings of work, headlining a strong performance from the Rays bullpen in which the group struck out nine batters over seven scoreless frames. On his fourth team in four seasons, Uceta has finally found his groove with the Rays, logging a microscopic 0.51 ERA, 0.57 WHIP and 19:3 K:BB in 17.2 innings this season.
Jun 25 2024The Rays recalled Uceta from Triple-A Durham on Tuesday, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 26-year-old was up with the Rays for five days in May and will rejoin the big club ahead of Tuesday's matchup with the Mariners. Uceta has pitched four scoreless frames for Tampa Bay but has a 5.77 ERA across 22 outings at Triple-A this year.
May 11 2024The Rays optioned Uceta to Triple-A Durham on Saturday, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The move corresponds with right-hander Pete Fairbanks (arm) being reinstated from the 15-day injured list. Uceta made two big-league appearances after being called up from Triple-A Durham on Monday. Over that span, the right-hander threw four scoreless innings, allowing one hit and two walks while striking out five.
May 6 2024The Rays selected Uceta's contract from Triple-A Durham on Monday, Ryan Bass of Bally Sports Sun reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 26-year-old posted a 7.00 ERA but had a 21:8 K:BB over 18 relief innings at Durham this season. Uceta should work in low-leverage spots out of Tampa Bay's bullpen.
Aug 16 2023The Mets designated Uceta for assignment Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Uceta will cede his spot on the 40-man roster to reliever Dennis Santana, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Syracuse on Wednesday. Before he was activated from the injured list and sent back to Syracuse on Sunday, Uceta had made just one three-inning relief appearance for the Mets this season.
Aug 13 2023Uceta (knee) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list and optioned to Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Uceta had been sidelined since late April due to ankle and knee injuries, but he began a rehab assignment in early August and struck out two in four innings over four appearances. He'll remain with the Triple-A club now that he's healthy but will likely be a candidate to be called up if the Mets need bullpen help at some point.
Aug 6 2023Uceta (knee) shifted his rehab assignment to Single-A St. Lucie on Sunday and tossed a perfect inning. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Uceta needed just eight pitches to retire the side Sunday in the second appearance of his rehab assignment, which began in the rookie-level Florida Complex League on Wednesday. The right-hander has been on the shelf since late April and later underwent surgery in June to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee. He'll eventually move his rehab to Triple-A Syracuse and will likely make a few appearances with the Mets' top affiliate before being reinstated from the 60-day injured list.
Jul 3 2023The Mets transferred Uceta (knee) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The transaction won't affect Uceta's timeline for rejoining the Mets, as he had already missed more than two months after landing on the 15-day IL on April 25 due to a left ankle sprain. He resumed a rehab assignment in early May, only to develop a left knee injury during that time before he was ultimately diagnosed with a torn meniscus, which he had surgically repaired June 9. The Mets likely won't have a precise timeline for Uceta's return from the IL until he resumes a throwing program.
Jun 9 2023Uceta (ankle) underwent surgery Friday to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Uceta injured his knee just as he was nearing the end of his recovery from a left ankle sprain. He's been on the shelf since late April and now his absence will be extended at least another eight weeks. The Mets could soon transfer him from the 15-day IL to the 60-day IL to free up a 40-man roster spot.
May 8 2023Uceta (ankle) began a rehab assignment Thursday with Triple-A Syracuse and allowed two unearned runs on no hits and four walks over 1.1 innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The fact that Uceta was cleared to go out on a rehab assignment less than two weeks after landing on the 15-day injured list suggests his left ankle sprain isn't a major concern, but the Mets will want to see a sharper minor-league appearance or two from him before activating him. He threw only 13 strikes during his 32-pitch appearance Thursday.
Apr 6 2023Uceta was claimed off waivers by the Mets on Thursday and optioned to Triple-A Syracuse. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Uceta was designated for assignment by the Pirates on Tuesday. The 25-year-old right-hander holds a career 6.27 ERA and 38:19 K:BB in 37.1 total innings at the MLB level.
Apr 4 2023Uceta was designated for assignment by the Pirates on Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: This move opens up a 40-man roster spot for Tyler Heineman, who is up to help fill in for Austin Hedges (concussion) behind the plate. Uceta had just been claimed off waivers from the Tigers on Sunday.
Mar 20 2023The Tigers optioned Uceta to Triple-A Toledo on Monday, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: A waiver pickup from the Diamondbacks in January, Uceta was sent out to the minors after allowing five runs (four earned) on eight hits and four walks over seven innings in Grapefruit League play during his first camp with the Tigers. The 25-year-old right-hander will probably need to show sharpened command and control at Triple-A for at least his first few appearances of the season before the Tigers entertain the idea of calling him up.
Jan 11 2023The Tigers claimed Uceta off waivers from the Diamondbacks on Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Detroit will likely give Uceta the chance to compete for a spot in its Opening Day bullpen during spring training, provided he's not moved off the 40-man roster before then and scooped up by another organization. Between stops with the Dodgers and Diamondbacks, the 25-year-old right-hander has submitted a 6.27 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 11.5 K-BB% across 37.1 career innings in the majors.
Sep 20 2022Uceta was recalled from Triple-A Reno to serve as the 29th man in Tuesday's doubleheader against the Dodgers, Sarah Wexler of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He last threw three innings Saturday at Triple-A, so he could be available to log a few innings in relief if either Zach Davies or Drey Jameson get chased in their starts. Uceta, 24, has a 5.04 ERA at Triple-A and a 5.82 ERA in the majors this season.
Aug 21 2022The Diamondbacks optioned Uceta to Triple-A Reno on Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Uceta was sent out to Triple-A in order for the Diamondbacks to add a fresh arm -- Luis Frias, who was recalled from Reno -- to the bullpen ahead of Sunday's series finale with the Cardinals after five relievers were needed to record the final 11 outs of Saturday's 16-7 loss. One of those relievers was Uceta, who was lit up for four earned runs on three hits and one walk during his one inning out of the bullpen.
Aug 8 2022Uceta was recalled from Triple-A Reno on Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Uceta has moved up and down several times this season, and he will rejoin the big club with fellow reliever Kyle Nelson (back) landing on the injured list. He figures to hold down a spot near the back of the bullpen last time he was with the Diamondbacks.
Jul 24 2022Uceta was optioned to Triple-A Reno on Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Uceta has been up in the majors the past couple weeks and made two appearances for Arizona during that stretch, and he allowed one earned run across 3.2 innings. The right-hander has covered 30.1 frames for Reno this year with a 4.15 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 40:16 K:BB.
Jul 10 2022The Diamondbacks recalled Uceta from Triple-A Reno prior to Sunday's game against the Rockies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arizona optioned right-handed reliever Sean Poppen to Triple-A to clear room on the 26-man active roster and in the bullpen for Uceta. The 24-year-old right-hander has previously made four relief appearances for Arizona this season, giving up five earned runs on seven hits and four walks over nine innings.
Jun 12 2022Uceta was optioned to Triple-A Reno on Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Uceta's latest stint with the big-league roster lasted just four days. His lone appearance saw him cruise through 4.1 innings of scoreless relief work Friday against the Phillies, striking out two while allowing two hits. He'll make way for Luke Weaver to return from an elbow injury.
Jun 8 2022The Diamondbacks recalled Uceta from Triple-A Reno on Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Uceta will provide some reinforcement in the bullpen for the Diamondbacks, who needed four pitchers to cover the final 6.1 innings of Tuesday's 14-8 loss to the Reds after starter Tyler Gilbert recorded only five outs before departing. Arizona demoted Gilbert to Triple-A to clear room on the active roster for Uceta.
May 18 2022The Diamondbacks optioned Uceta to Triple-A Reno on Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arizona opted to move Uceta to the minors since he was unlikely to be available for the next couple of days after tossing three innings and 47 pitches in a mop-up role during the Diamondbacks' 12-3 loss to the Dodgers on Tuesday in the second game of a doubleheader. Carlos Frias was summoned from Triple-A to fill Uceta's spot in the bullpen.
May 17 2022Uceta was recalled from Triple-A Reno on Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Uceta was already with the Diamondbacks on the taxi squad and will now join the active roster ahead of Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader. The 24-year-old has appeared in two big-league games this season and has allowed two runs over 1.2 innings.
Apr 19 2022Uceta was recalled from Triple-A Reno ahead of Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Uceta was already with the big-league club on the practice squad and will join the active roster for the nightcap. He appeared in 14 games for the Dodgers last year and had a 6.64 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 25:12 K:BB across 20.1 innings.
Mar 27 2022Uceta was optioned to Triple-A Reno on Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Uceta was claimed off waivers from the Dodgers in October and will open the 2022 campaign at Triple-A for the Diamondbacks. The 24-year-old had a 6.64 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 25:12 K:BB over 20.1 big-league innings last season and figures to join Arizona at some point this season.
Aug 29 2021Uceta was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Uceta was promoted from Triple-A on Saturday and will return there without pitching in the majors. The right-hander has a 6.64 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 25:12 K:BB over 20.1 innings for the Dodgers this year.
Aug 28 2021Uceta was Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic on Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Uceta has bounced between the majors and Triple-A Oklahoma City throughout the season, throwing exactly 20.1 innings at both levels. He hasn't been good at either location, posting a 6.20 ERA in Triple-A and a 6.64 ERA in the majors, so he'll likely be limited to low-leverage innings while he remains with the team. Andre Jackson was optioned in a corresponding move.
Aug 16 2021Uceta was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Monday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Uceta returned from the injured list Wednesday and allowed a hit and a walk while striking out five in 2.2 scoreless innings across two relief appearances since then. The right-hander has recorded a 6.64 ERA and 1.52 WHIP in 20.1 innings across 14 appearances (one start) in the majors this year.
Aug 11 2021Uceta (back) was activated from the 10-day injured list Wednesday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Uceta landed on the shelf in early August with a back strain, but he'll rejoin the active roster after a brief absence. The right-hander has a 7.64 ERA, 1.64 WHIP and 20:11 K:BB over 17.2 big-league innings this season.
Aug 3 2021Uceta was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a right back strain. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Uceta was promoted from Triple-A Saturday and immediately delivered a scoreless inning with two strikeouts against the Diamondbacks, but he's now sidelined by the back injury. Brusdar Graterol was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City in a a corresponding move.
Jul 31 2021Uceta was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Uceta was activated from the injured list July 20 and sent to Triple-A, and he'll rejoin the big-league club Saturday. The right-hander has struggled in his first taste of MLB action this year with a 8.10 ERA, 1.74 WHIP and 18:11 K:BB across 16.2 innings.
Jul 20 2021Uceta (back) was activated from the 10-day injured list and optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The right-hander landed on the shelf with a back strain July 10, and he'll head to the minors now that he's healthy. Uceta has struggled in 11 outings for the Dodgers with an 8.10 ERA, 1.74 WHIP and 18:11 K:BB over 16.2 innings.
Jul 10 2021Uceta was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a left lumbar strain, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Uceta was recalled from Oklahoma City on July 4 and wound up allowing five earned runs across three appearances (2.1 innings). It's not entirely clear when or how the lumbar strain was suffered, but it will keep him on the shelf until at least July 20. Given the right-hander's struggles since being recalled, it's definitely possible that he's optioned back to the minors when he ready to return.
Jul 4 2021The Dodgers recalled Uceta from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: As expected, the righty joins the Dodgers to help get through Sunday's bullpen game against the Nationals. Uceta allowed five runs in 1.2 innings in his last outing June 20, so he may not stick around with the big club long after Sunday's game.
Jul 3 2021Uceta will be reinstated by the Dodgers ahead of Sunday's game against the Nationals, Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Dodgers plan to have a bullpen game in Sunday's series finale, and Uceta should play a role during the contest. The right-hander has posted a 6.28 ERA and 1.40 WHIP in 14.1 innings across eight appearances (one start) with the major-league club this year.
Jun 21 2021Uceta was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Uceta hasn't shown much to get excited about in limited big-league action this season. After allowing five runs while recording five outs Sunday against the Diamondbacks, he now owns a 6.28 ERA in 14.1 innings on the year. Outfielder Zach Reks was called up in a corresponding move.
Jun 20 2021The Dodgers recalled Uceta from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Los Angeles demoted reliever Mitch White to Triple-A in a corresponding move. Over his seven appearances with the Dodgers earlier in 2021, Uceta went 0-2 with a 3.55 ERA and 1.18 WHIP across 12.2 innings.
Jun 3 2021Uceta was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Uceta's latest stint in the big-league bullpen lasted nearly three weeks. He allowed six runs (three earned) in 8.1 innings over that stretch, striking out 10 batters while walking just two.
May 16 2021Uceta (0-2) allowed three runs (zero earned) on four hits while striking out four across three innings, taking the loss to the Marlins on Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Uceta allowed a three-run home run in the fifth inning to Adam Duvall, which was enough for the Marlins to secure the win. However, none of the runs were charged against him due to a fielding error by Sheldon Neuse to lead off the inning. Uceta has a 2.45 ERA in 7.1 innings. Barring injuries, he isn't in line to receive any high-leverage innings for the Dodgers this year.
May 15 2021Uceta was recalled by the Dodgers on Saturday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Uceta is already on his third stint with the big-league team so far this season. He appeared once in each of his first two, giving up two runs in 4.1 innings. AJ Pollock (hamstring) landed on the injured list in a corresponding move.
May 8 2021Uceta was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 23-year-old rejoined the big-league club Wednesday and delivered 2.1 scoreless frames during his brief time with the team. Uceta has given up two runs on four hits with three strikeouts and two walks across 4.1 innings on the season for the Dodgers.
May 5 2021Uceta was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 23-year-old was demoted over the weekend after serving as an opener Friday but will rejoin the Dodgers following Tuesday's doubleheader. Uceta surrendered two runs on four hits with two strikeouts and one walk across two innings during his major-league debut last week.
May 1 2021Uceta was optioned off the big-league roster Saturday, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Uceta made his big-league debut as an opener Friday against the Brewers but didn't make a particularly strong impression, giving up two runs on four hits over two frames. Alex Vesia was called up in a corresponding move.
Apr 30 2021Uceta will serve as the opener for what's expected to be a bullpen game Friday against the Brewers, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Dodgers entered the season with enviable rotation depth, but injuries to David Price (hamstring) and Tony Gonsolin (shoulder) will cause them to go with a bullpen game already before the first month of the season is complete. Uceta, who's yet to pitch above Double-A, has pitched almost exclusively as a starter in the minors, but it doesn't look as if he'll be asked to go deep in this contest. In 123.1 minor-league innings in 2019, he recorded a 2.77 ERA, 27.0 percent strikeout rate and 9.4 percent walk rate.
Apr 29 2021Uceta was recalled by the Dodgers on Thursday, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Dodgers placed Brusdar Graterol (forearm) on the 10-day injured list, with Uceta's promotion being the corresponding move. He'll provide needed depth in the team's bullpen, which is already missing Joe Kelly (shoulder), Corey Knebel (lat) and David Price (hamstring), among others.
Mar 15 2021The Dodgers optioned Uceta to their minor-league camp Monday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Uceta will likely open the season at Triple-A Oklahoma City. His last minor-league action came in 2019 at Double-A Tulsa, with whom he logged a 3.21 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 76:33 K:BB across 73 innings.
Nov 20 2020Uceta's contract was purchased by the Dodgers on Friday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Uceta has a slight 6-foot, 155-pound frame, but he has the stuff to start long term. He was suspended by the team this past summer for breaking a security protocol, but he obviously didn't wear out his welcome. He could open the year at Triple-A, but this will be a tough big-league rotation to crack during the upcoming season.
Jul 8 2020Uceta was placed on the injured list Wednesday for undisclosed reasons, Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The team is unable to legally provide any specifics if Uceta's absence is related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The 22-year-old spent most of 2019 at Double-A Tulsa and had a 3.21 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 76:33 K:BB over 73 innings to earn a spot in the Dodgers' 60-player roster pool.
