Ryan Feltner Getting Close to Rehab Assignment
Colorado Rockies right-hander Ryan Feltner (back) reported feeling less discomfort in his back when he threw a bullpen session on Monday than he did during his previous bullpen, according to MLB.com. If his next bullpen session goes well, Feltner expects to start a minor-league rehab assignment. The 28-year-old landed on the 15-day injured list on May 2 due to back spasms, but he could be nearing his return if he doesn't face a setback when he returns to game action. The former fourth-round selection in 2018 out of Ohio State made six starts for the Rockies before his injury, posting a 4.75 ERA (4.34 FIP) and 1.48 WHIP with 25 strikeouts and 12 walks in 30 1/3 innings pitched. When he's back in the big leagues, fantasy managers in mixed leagues can continue to ignore Feltner. In his five MLB seasons, he carries a 5.19 ERA and 1.43 WHIP with a below-average 19.5% strikeout rate.
