Austin Pope Called Up from Triple-A Reno
Austin Pope was called up from Triple-A Reno on Sunday for what will be his major league debut whenever he enters a game. The 26-year-old missed the first half of the season rehabbing from knee surgery, but has been active at Triple-A since the beginning of July. The right-hander posted a 4.60 ERA, 1.50 WHIP, and an 18.8 percent K-BB% in 26 appearances (25 in relief). The 6-foot-3 hurler will fill a middle relief role for the big league squad, and with a .288 opponent batting average against at Triple-A, along with no chance for saves, the former 15th-round draft pick is off the fantasy radar as the season winds down.
