Jason Motte

The Cardinals have released reliever Jason Motte.

Fantasy Impact

Motte will more than likely shop for other offers, but still has a chance to sign a minor league deal with the Cardinals. Motte allowed six runs on 13 hits and two walks over 5.1 innings this spring.

Jason Motte recorded only one out and gave up five runs on six hits. Motte did strikeout the out he recorded.

Fantasy Impact

Motte wont have a significant role this year with the Cardinals if he makes the team, and that's a big if. As of right now, Motte shouldn't be on your fantasy radar.

Jason Motte will likely start the regular season on the DL due to a strained shoulder.

Fantasy Impact

Motte was one of several offseason acquisitions made in effort to improve the team's bullpen. While Motte should see late-inning work when he returns, Jake McGee is expected to be the team's closer.

Jason Motte signed a two-year/10 million dollar contract with the Colorado Rockies.

Fantasy Impact

Motte is pegged to be the likely closer for the Rockies, as they lost John Axford to free agency, making him a must-watch this preseason to determine his fantasy value. Motte had right-shoulder fatigue late last season and was on the DL, and while he passed a physical, it is still worth monitoring. Motte would be a late-round flier in drafts, moving to around the 20th-ranked closer mark if given the position.

The Cubs have placed RP Jason Motte on the 15-day disabled list with a strained shoulder. The injury is expected to sideline Motte for three-to-four weeks.

Fantasy Impact

Motte hasn't been overly effective this year, but considering the mess that's been the Cubs' bullpen he's proved useful for the team. The veteran posted a 3.91 ERA and 1.22 WHIP with 34 strikeouts over 48.1 innings. He also tallied six saves for Chicago.
