3 years agoMiami Marlins pitcher Zach Thompson won't be taking the mound as a starting pitcher for the rest of the season. The team announced that Thompson will shift into the bullpen down the stretch. Thompson has a 3.16 ERA, 1.17 WHIP in 62.7 innings with the Marlins this season. This shouldn't be viewed as a demotion, but more about the team attempting to limit his innings. The Marlins don't want to push the rookie too much in a season that is already lost. Thompson's fantasy value has basically gone out the window on this note. However, he could be a sneaky option heading into fantasy drafts next season. Certainly someone worth considering at the back-end of some rosters.--Andy Webb - RotoBaller
