Eligibility
The Orioles have optioned Dillon Tate to Triple-A Norfolk.
Fantasy Impact
Tate is only one of three pitchers in the Orioles’ bullpen that have minor-league options remaining. The move is still a bit of a surprise considering Tate has a 2.84 ERA and a 1.03 WHIP in 11 games this season.
Dillon Tate faced live hitters on Monday.
Fantasy Impact
Tate is continuing to recover from a forearm injury which led to him missing all of last season. He should return to his high leverage role in the Orioles bullpen behind Craig Kimbrel.
Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said Dillon Tate looks “unbelievable” and healthy.
Fantasy Impact
Tate dealt with multiple injuries last season. He appears to be on track to being fully healthy for Spring Training. He'll look to bounce back from an injury-riddled season last year.
Dillon Tate is expected to undergo further testing in the next couple of days.
Fantasy Impact
Tate is still waiting to make his season debut this year out of the Orioles bullpen. Baltimore should provide an update on his status at some point later in the week.
Orioles pitcher Dillon Tate will begin a rehab assignment on Thursday as he works his way back from a right elbow flexor strain.
Fantasy Impact
Tate has yet to appear in the big leagues this season and was shut down after making 10 rehab appearances over a one-month span due to a stress reaction in his pitching elbow. The right-hander pitched to a 3.05 ERA/3.48 FIP across 67 appearances with the Orioles last season.
