Madison Bumgarner Doesn't Work Out Friday
4 years agoArizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Madison Bumgarner was one of the eight to 10 players who did not work out at Chase Field on the first day of summer camp on Friday. Bumgarner is waiting for clearance from the COVID-19 test protocols. MadBum doesn't necessarily have coronavirus, and he could be cleared to join workouts as soon as this weekend if his tests come back negative. The veteran left-hander no longer has high upside as a fantasy starter, but the four-time All-Star should provide useful innings for fantasy owners in the shortened season. Consider him a relatively safe SP3 on draft day. Bumgarner went 9-9 with a 3.90 ERA, 1.13 WHIP, 203 strikeouts and 43 walks in 34 starts in his final season with the Giants in 2019.
