4 years agoSeattle Mariners starting pitcher Ljay Newsome stepped in on Monday after James Paxton was scratched and pitched well against the Diamondbacks. Newsome delivered 3 1/3 strong innings, allowing one run on two his and a walk while striking out three. Newsome set down the first six batters he faced and found success by consistently staying ahead in the count. Despite the good outing, Newsome seems destined to begin the year in the minors as starting depth. Newsome is not a good source of strikeouts, but he could be useful as a streaming option if his opportunity comes during the season.--Doug Goldring - RotoBaller
