Mon Dec 4 202314:37Joe Ross Lands Major-League Deal With Brewers
Free-agent pitcher Joe Ross has agreed to a major-league deal with the Milwaukee Brewers, pending a physical. It's been some time since the right-hander saw a big-league mound, as Ross hasn't appeared since the 2021 campaign when he had a solid 4.17 ERA across 108 innings with the Washington Nationals, his only MLB team, while also producing a rather solid 16.3% K-BB%. Unfortunately, Ross underwent his second Tommy John surgery in June of 2022, which cost him his 2023 campaign as well. Through 98 MLB appearances, 76 of which were starts, Ross has worked to a 4.26 ERA and 13.7% K-BB% while going 26-28. His fantasy value is limited at the moment, but he could be a decent waiver-wire look should he replicate his work from the 2021 season.

Tue Jan 31 202316:02Giants Sign Joe Ross To Minor-League Deal
The San Francisco Giants signed free-agent right-hander and Oakland native Joe Ross (elbow) to a minor-league deal on Monday that includes an invitation to major-league spring training. Ross underwent Tommy John surgery for the second time last May and is not expected to be ready for the start of the 2023 season. He opted out of the COVID-shortened 2020 season and made 20 appearances (19 starts) in 2021 for the Washington Nationals, going 5-9 with a 4.17 ERA (4.36 FIP), 1.22 WHIP and career-high 23.7 percent strikeout rate in a career-high 108 innings pitched. Ross will eventually serve as starting pitcher depth for the Giants, but he can be ignored in standard 12-team mixed leagues to begin the year.

Tue May 31 202218:12Joe Ross To Undergo His Second Tommy John Surgery
Washington Nationals starting pitcher Joe Ross (elbow) will be undergoing Tommy John surgery for the second time in his career. The 29-year-old had been rehabbing from a UCL tear in his right elbow prior to suffering a setback. This is tough news for Ross, who had his first Tommy John surgery back in 2017. Ross has played the entirety of his MLB career with the Nationals. Last year, he made 20 appearances (19 starts) and went 5-9 with a 4.17 ERA and a 1.22 WHIP. If he's able to have a successful surgery and rehabilitation process, we could see him back in the majors late in 2023, but given his injury history, a 2024 return may be more likely.

Sat May 28 202211:30Joe Ross Suffers Sprained Elbow Ligament
Washington Nationals starting pitcher Joe Ross (elbow), who had Tommy John surgery in 2017, sustained a sprained ligament in his right elbow during his first minor league rehab start on Tuesday with Double-A Harrisburg, and the team is awaiting the results of his second MRI exam that was taken on Friday. Ross left his outing on Tuesday after three innings when he experienced tightness. The 29-year-old right-hander also had surgery last year and had a bone spur removed from his elbow in March, so this doesn't look good. Depending on the results of his second MRI exam, there's a chance that we may not see Ross at all in Washington's starting rotation in 2022.

Sun May 22 202214:14Stephen Strasburg, Joe Ross To Begin Rehab Assignments Tuesday
Washington Nationals starting pitchers Stephen Strasburg (neck, shoulder) and Joe Ross (elbow) will both begin minor league rehab assignments on Tuesday. Strasburg is headed to Single-A Fredericksburg while Ross's assignment will begin at Double-A Harrisburg. Both players will need several rehab appearances before making their respective 2022 debuts in the majors.

Fri May 20 202218:50Stephen Strasburg, Joe Ross Nearing Rehab Assignments
Injured Washington Nationals starting pitchers Stephen Strasburg (neck, shoulder) and Joe Ross (elbow) both threw simulated games on Thursday. They each tossed 43 pitches across three innings during their outings. According to Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports, Nationals manager Davey Martinez sounded optimistic that both pitchers could begin minor league rehab assignments soon. Ross hasn't appeared in the majors since last August while Strasburg has been on the shelf since last June. Neither has a very clear timeline for a return to the majors, but they appear to be moving in the right direction.

Thu May 5 202214:05Stephen Strasburg, Joe Ross Face Live Hitters
Washington Nationals starting pitchers Stephen Strasburg (neck) and Joe Ross (elbow) faced live hitters on Tuesday and will do so again on Friday. Both pitchers continue to ramp up their throwing programs in order to return to Washington's starting rotation. Strasburg and Ross could both be nearing minor league rehab assignments, but there remains no firm timetable on when they might make a start for the Nationals. Strasburg had surgery for thoracic outlet syndrome last year and will be a true wild card whenever he's back in the big leagues. Strasburg could rejoin the rotation in D.C. before the end of May, barring any setbacks. Ross can't come off the 60-day injured list until early June.

Mon May 2 202208:05Stephen Strasburg, Joe Ross To Face Live Hitters Wednesday
Washington Nationals starting pitchers Stephen Strasburg (neck, shoulder) and Joe Ross (elbow) are both slated to face live hitters for the first time on Wednesday. Both players threw bullpen sessions last week, with Strasburg tossing 37 pitches and Ross tossing 30. Ross is currently on the 60-day injured list and he isn't eligible to return until early June. Strasburg, meanwhile, could potentially make his season debut at some point later this month if he avoids setbacks. If Wednesday goes well for him, he'll likely be set out on a rehab assignment.

Tue Apr 19 202211:53Stephen Strasburg, Joe Ross Not Facing Hitters
Washington Nationals starting pitchers Stephen Strasburg (neck, shoulder) and Joe Ross (elbow) are not yet facing hitters, according to manager Dave Martinez. Ross is nearing a bullpen session, though. Strasburg made only five starts last season before undergoing surgery for thoracic outlet syndrome. The 33-year-old will surely need a lengthy rehab assignment before returning, so it's looking more and more unlikely that he'll be ready to make his season debut for the Nationals in early May. Despite his injury history, Stras is worthy of being stashed in all leagues. Ross had surgery in the offseason to remove a bone spur from his right elbow, but he looks to be closer to returning than Strasburg. The 28-year-old had a career-high 23.7% strikeout rate last year in 108 innings.

Sun Mar 13 202223:02Joe Ross Expected To Miss 6-8 Weeks
Washington Nationals starting pitcher Joe Ross (elbow) suffered a setback in his recovery this offseason and underwent surgery on March 7 to remove a bone spur from his right elbow, according to general manager Mike Rizzo. Ross is expected to miss six to eight weeks, so he'll open the 2022 season on the injured list. The 28-year-old missed the last six weeks of the 2021 season with a partial UCL tear after posting a 4.17 ERA, 1.22 WHIP, 109 strikeouts and 34 walks in 108 innings (20 games). Between Ross' and Stephen Strasburg's (shoulder) injuries, the Nationals starting rotation depth will be tested early on, which is probably why they signed Anibal Sanchez to a minor league deal on Sunday.

Tue Aug 17 202115:54Joe Ross Likely Won't Be Back This Year
Washington Nationals starting pitcher Joe Ross (forearm, elbow) will likely be out for the rest of the season, according to Nationals manager Dave Martinez. Ross was placed on the 10-day injured list on July 15 with a flexor pronator strain in his forearm and a partial UCL tear in his elbow. However, after visiting the doctor, it has been determined that he will not require surgery. Ross has had a solid campaign on the mound, posting a 4.17 ERA with a 23.7 K% in 19 starts and 108 IP. It's been an improvement over his past three seasons where he didn't have an ERA below 5.01. Hopefully, he can come back next year and continue where he left off this year.

Sun Aug 15 202112:04Joe Ross Suffers Partial UCL Tear
Washington Nationals starting pitcher Joe Ross (forearm) experienced right forearm tightness after his bullpen session Saturday and an MRI showed a partial UCL tear, according to MLB.com. The next step is a re-evaluation, manager Dave Martinez said. Ross, who is 5-9 with a 4.17 ERA this season, had been a serviceable fantasy starter in deeper formats, but with this setback managers probably should look for better and healthier options.

Thu Aug 12 202112:34Joe Ross Can't Hold Lead In Bulk Outing
Washington Nationals starting pitcher Joe Ross took over for Paolo Espino Wednesday in the holdover suspended game from Tuesday against the New York Mets, and he wasn't able to hold onto the 4-1 lead he was staked to. Ross gave up four runs on six hits and a walk in five innings while striking out two batters. He took a no-decision in the contest. Ross now has a 4.17 ERA, 1.22 WHIP, and 109 strikeouts in 108 innings on the season. He's a serviceable starting pitcher, especially in two-start weeks, but he shouldn't be a top roster priority.

Fri Aug 6 202101:01Joe Ross Solid In Quality Start Against Phillies
Washington Nationals starting pitcher Joe Ross had a solid showing Thursday, nearly helping the team salvage the last game of the series against the surging Philadelphia Phillies, but he was left with a no-decision when closer Kyle Finnegan blew the save. Ross allowed three runs on five hits and two walks in 6 1/3 innings, striking out seven batters. Ross has a 4.02 ERA, 1.21 WHIP, and 107 strikeouts in 103 innings, making him a solid, if unspectacular, streaming option in fantasy leagues.

Sun Aug 1 202100:07Joe Ross Takes Loss Against Cubs Saturday
Washington Nationals starting pitcher Joe Ross had a tough go of it against the Chicago Cubs Saturday, allowing five runs (four earned) on seven hits and a walk in 4 1/3 innings. He struck out five batters and took the loss, dropping his record on the year to 5-9. Ross has had a strong season, and this is only the fifth time in his 18 starts that he's allowed more than three earned runs. With a 4.00 ERA, 1.22 WHIP, and 100 strikeouts in 96 2/3 innings, Ross is at least a solid streaming option going forward.

Mon Jul 5 202100:18Ohtani homers again as Angels beat Orioles 6-5
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Shohei Ohtani hit his major league-leading 31st homer in the third, and Juan Lagares ended it with a two-run double in the ninth inning of the Los Angeles Angels’ 6-5 comeback victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Sunday. Cedric Mullins hit a tiebreaking homer for Baltimore in the ninth in his first game after making his first All-Star team, but the Angels jumped all over Cole Sulser (2-1) without making an out in the bottom half. After Los Angeles loaded the bases on a walk and two short singles, Lagares doubled to the gap in right-center, extending the Angels’ winning streak to five games. Raisel Iglesias (6-3) got the win. Ohtani tied the MLB record for the most homers in a season by a Japanese-born player when he blasted a 459-foot solo shot off Thomas Eshelman to straightaway center. It was his 14th homer in 17 games overall. Less than an hour later, Ohtani became the first player in major league history to be picked for an All-Star Game as both a hitter and... [More]

Sun Jul 4 202118:37Pirates stop Brewers' 11-game win streak with 2-0 victory
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Tyler Anderson pitched seven sparkling innings and the Pittsburgh Pirates snapped Milwaukee’s 11-game winning streak Sunday with a 2-0 victory over the Brewers. Kevin Newman homered and Wilmer Difo had an RBI double as the Pirates stopped a six-game slide. Milwaukee managed just three hits off Anderson (4-8), who broke a personal five-game skid. The left-hander struck out six and walked two while throwing 93 pitches. Milwaukee’s win streak was the second-longest in franchise history. The Brewers won their first 13 games in 1987. David Bednar and Richard Rodriguez finished the four-hitter with one inning apiece. Rodriguez earned his 11th save in 13 opportunities by completing the Pirates’ third shutout of the season. Milwaukee's Freddy Peralta (7-3) had control issues with five walks in six innings. But he allowed just two runs and three hits.

Fri Jun 25 202102:09Cubs combine on record-tying 7th no-hitter of MLB season
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Zach Davies and three Chicago Cubs relievers combined for the seventh no-hitter in the majors this year, blanking the Los Angeles Dodgers 4-0 Thursday night and tying the record for most in a single baseball season since 1900. The Dodgers drew eight walks, getting at least one from each Cubs pitcher, but managed no other baserunners. Davies (5-4) issued five walks and used 94 pitches to get through six innings against the defending World Series champions in the 16th start of his first season with the Cubs. Ryan Tepera and Andrew Chafin each went one inning. Craig Kimbrel then walked Chris Taylor leading off the ninth, but the closer struck out Cody Bellinger, Albert Pujols and pinch-hitter Will Smith to finish the 17th no-hitter in Cubs history — the team’s first combined effort. Javier Báez homered in the first inning and Willson Contreras added a two-run shot in the sixth for the Cubs, who happily celebrated the franchise’s first no-hitter since last Sept. 13, when...
