The Royals re-assigned RHP Thomas Hatch to minor league camp.

Fantasy Impact

Hatch was one of six players re-assigned or optioned on Sunday as roster cuts continue with the Royals major league camp now sitting at 44 players. He should open the season in Triple-A.

Pirates reliever Thomas Hatch tossed three scoreless frames as Monday's opener versus St. Louis.

Fantasy Impact

With a solid 2.87 ERA and 1.53 WHIP on the season, Hatch continues to be a reliable option out of the bullpen, although don't respect him to factor into any save situations moving forward.

Thomas Hatch pitched 4 2/3 innings, allowing 10 earned runs on 12 hits and two walks while striking out four during Toronto's loss to Tampa Bay on Saturday.

Fantasy Impact

Ouch. Hatch was just recalled on July 27 and was absolutely hammered by the Rays, allowing the most hits and earned runs in a game in his career. He only induced six swinging strikes and produced a modest 21 percent CSW on 71 pitches. He now has a 0-1 record with a 19.29 ERA and 3.00 WHIP and needless to say, is not on the fantasy radar.

Thomas Hatch was removed from Thursday's game against the Twins with right hamstring discomfort.

Fantasy Impact

Hatch went 1 2/3 innings and allowed three runs with three walks before exiting with the injury. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on updates but it looks like the 26-year-old right-hander could end up on the IL and his season could be over.

Tom Hatch allowed three runs on seven hits and a walk with four strikeouts over 3 2/3 innings in a no-decision versus Boston on Monday.

Fantasy Impact

This was Hatch's first MLB appearance of the season after he missed the first couple of months with an elbow issue. The 26-year-old righty could be a candidate to start in a doubleheader versus Boston next week.
