Rob Zastryzny

The Cubs have claimed Rob Zastryzny off waivers from the Brewers.

Fantasy Impact

Zastrynzy will join the Cubs and should compete for a spot in their bullpen heading into the 2025 season. He posted a 1.17 ERA and a 0.65 WHIP in nine games last season.

The Milwaukee Brewers placed Rob Zastryzny on the 15-day IL with left elbow tendinitis.

Fantasy Impact

Zastryzny will be sidelined for the next couple of weeks. Janson Junk was recalled from Triple-A Nashville as the corresponding move.

Rob Zastryzny delivered a clean inning, allowing no hits or walks in Monday's loss to the Rockies.

Fantasy Impact

He was operating as the opener after being recalled from Triple-A. His performance was efficient, using just 10 pitches to get through the inning without much trouble. However, the lack of strikeouts or high-leverage situations (saves, holds) limits his fantasy relevance. He pitched well this year in the minors with a 3.14 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 12.1 K/9. We'll need to monitor his next couple outings to see if he becomes more fantasy relevant.

The Brewers recalled Rob Zastryzny from Triple-A Nashville.

Fantasy Impact

Zastryzny gets called up with Jared Koenig placed on the injured list. He'll hold a role in the middle innings of the Brewers bullpen.

Rob Zastryzny worked a 1-2-3 inning on Tuesday against the Braves to earn his first save of the spring. He struck out two in the 8-5 victory.

Fantasy Impact

Zastryzny showed some promise as a Cub a couple years ago, but pitched entirely in the Dodgers' minor league system last year. He lacks both command stuff, so he's not a threat to pick up saves during the regular season.
