Kevin Kelly was placed on the 15-day injured list. Sulser will fill a role in the middle innings in the Rays bullpen.

The Rays sent Cole Sulser to Triple-A Durham on Wednesday, per team updates, part of eight roster cuts from big-league camp this week.

Fantasy Impact

Sulser’s 2.76 ERA and 1.10 WHIP over 16.1 innings across 10 MLB games in 2024 with the Mets and Rays couldn’t keep him off Durham’s roster Wednesday. The 34-year-old’s arm stays sharp. Fantasy managers in deep dynasty leagues might stash him, expecting his solid relief work to earn a midseason Rays call-up if bullpen needs arise in 2025.

The Rays and Cole Sulser have agreed on a one-year contract.

Fantasy Impact

Sulser and the Rays will avoid arbitration. The reliever posted a 2.76 ERA and a 1.10 WHIP in 10 games last season.

Cole Sulser allowed two walks in a hitless inning during Monday's 2-1 loss to the Phillies.

Fantasy Impact

Despite not surrendering any hits, Sulser's control issues persisted as evidenced by the pair of free passes. This outing, while not damaging in terms of runs, highlights a concerning trend for fantasy managers relying on Sulser for ratios and WHIP improvement. With a season WHIP of 1.41 and a high walk rate, his ability to contribute positively in tighter fantasy contexts remains questionable. His lack of strikeouts in this appearance also dims his appeal in formats that reward high strikeout totals. Moving forward, Sulser's fantasy value is shaky at best, primarily useful in deeper leagues or as a speculative add for holds.
