4 years agoSeattle Mariners relief pitcher Ljay Newsome was called on Sunday to throw the final four innings against the Boston Red Sox. The Mariners were in dire need of some length, given that starting pitcher Nick Margevicius left after only recording one out. He performed admirably, allowing no runs on two hits while striking out four. There has not been a report as of yet that Margevicius has any type of injury or will miss time, but if that were to arise, Newsome would be the top candidate to replace him in the six-man rotation. Regardless, he would not currently be a consideration for fantasy rosters--Doug Goldring - RotoBaller
