Emiliano Teodo Dealing With Thumb Soreness
According to Kennedi Landry of MLB.com, Texas Rangers pitching prospect Emiliano Teodo (thumb) is dealing with thumb soreness. Due to this injury, he left his bullpen early on Saturday, but his exit was deemed "precautionary." Landry noted the 24-year-old is labeled as day-to-day. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status, as a strong spring performance could earn him a spot on the Triple-A roster. Last summer, the No. 6 ranked prospect in the system logged 86 1/3 innings at the Double-A level and performed quite well as he held a 1.98 ERA and a 1.19 WHIP. He tallied an impressive 110 strikeouts but served up a hefty 50 free passes. However, this a strong improvement compared to the 4.52 ERA and a 1.39 WHIP he held across 61 2/3 innings at High-A. Teodo could contend for a big league debut later this summer if he carries this strong play into Triple-A.
