  • Removed from 40-man
    The Mets designated Lopez for assignment Thursday.

    Advice: Lopez has been decent on the mound this season with a 3.76 ERA and 1.37 WHIP, but he will be ousted from the Mets after throwing his glove into the stands upon being ejected from Wednesday's contest. Lopez also seemed to publicly criticize the Mets organization during a postgame interview, though he later clarified his statement, calling himself "the worst teammate in MLB." The 31-year-old reliever will likely draw plenty of interest on the waiver wire from other teams in need of bullpen help, and Danny Young will come up from Triple-A Syracuse to fill the open spot in New York's pitching staff.

  • Mets plan to designate Jorge Lopez for assignment
    Andy Martino of SNY reports that the Mets plan to designate right-hander Jorge Lopez for assignment on Thursday.

    Advice: The 31-year-old hurler was ejected from Wednesday’s game, and as he was walking off the field he chucked his glove into the stands. Then, after the game when questioned by reporters, he made derogatory comments about the Mets being the worst organization in all of baseball. Rather than being in the mix for saves with Edwin Diaz out, he’ll be looking for work on Thursday. Rotoworld Wednesday, 6:40 pm
     
  • DFA imminent
    The Mets will designate Lopez for assignment Thursday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Lopez allowed two earned runs in just one-third of an inning during Wednesday's loss to the Dodgers and was ejected from the game after arguing a check-swing call. The 31-year-old right-hander then tossed his glove into the stands while walking toward New York's dugout and said after the game that he has been on "the worst team in MLB." Understandably, the Mets will boot him off their 40-man roster and give other bullpen-needy teams the opportunity to claim him off waivers. Lopez owns a 3.76 ERA and 1.37 WHIP through 26.1 innings on the year. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 6:29 pm
     
  • Keeps rolling for 16th save
    Suarez earned a save against the Marlins on Monday, striking out one batter in a perfect inning of work.

    Advice: Suarez was summoned in the ninth frame to protect a one-run lead and had no trouble doing so, retiring the side in order on 14 pitches. The right-hander came into the campaign with a loose grip on the ninth-inning role for the Padres but has emerged as one of the league's top first-half closers with 16 saves (in 16 chances) while posting a 0.73 ERA, 0.69 WHIP and 24:5 K:BB over 24.2 innings. Prior to this season, Suarez had just one save over 71 major-league appearances. Rotowire.com Monday, 10:06 pm
     
  • Suarez picks up 16th save against Marlins Monday
    Robert Suarez tossed a scoreless inning and picked up the save against the Marlins on Monday.

    Advice: The save was Suarez’ 16th of the season. He lowered his ERA to 0.73 on the season. While the Padres’ closer situation was ambiguous going into the season, Suarez has grabbed the job and run with it to the point where he’s been one of the best closers in all of fantasy this season.

  • Converts four-out save
    Suarez picked up the save in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Yankees, striking out two while allowing one run on two hits in 1.1 innings.

    Advice: Suarez came in with two runners on and two out in the eighth to face Aaron Judge and bested him with a strikeout. He returned for the ninth and started off by allowing a home run to Alex Verdugo but was able to get the job done from there. The home run was the first run Suarez has given up since March 28. He continues to be one of the most dominant closers in baseball this year, as he's now tied for third with 15 saves and owns a 0.76 ERA, 0.72 WHIP and 23:5 K:BB in 23.2 innings.
