Tyson Ross

Free agent pitcher Tyson Ross opted out of the 2020 season.

Fantasy Impact

With a number of players opting out or injured, Ross likely would have been able to find a team willing to let him compete for a spot in a rotation. All for naught as Ross is joining his brother, Joe Ross, by deciding not to play this year.

RHP Tyson Ross was released by the Giants on Friday.

Fantasy Impact

The Giants signed Ross as a non-roster invitee this off-season, but ultimately decided to cut ties with the 33-year-old. He has struggled with injuries most of his career and will look to latch onto another franchise during spring training 2.0. Ross owned a (1-5) record along with a 6.11 ERA, 1.67 WHIP and a 25:18 K:BB across seven starts for the Tigers in 2019.

Free-agent starting pitcher Tyson Ross agreed to a one-year, minor league deal with the San Francisco Giants, according to multiple reports. The deal is reportedly worth $1.75 million, with an additional $1.75 million in incentives.

Fantasy Impact

Ross appeared in seven games for the Tigers last season, pitching to a 6.11 ERA. Injuries once again plagued the right-hander last year, but the Giants are hoping he will prove to be an affordable buy-low candidate who can round back into form.

The Tiger placed Tyson Ross (elbow) on the 10-day IL with right ulnar nerve neuritis.

Fantasy Impact

Ross has posted an alarming 6.11 ERA through seven starts this season. The biggest fantasy takeaway here could be if the Tigers promote either Casey Mize or Matt Manning in the near future. Four of their five Opening Day starters have hit the injured list this season, and the two prized prospects are dealing in the minors.

Detroit Tigers right-hander Tyson Ross struggled in a 6-0 loss to the Twins on Friday. Ross allowed six runs over five innings. He struck out two and walked four in the outing.

Fantasy Impact

Ross has not been an effective pitcher this season. The veteran now has a 1-5 record, 6.11 ERA, 1.67 WHIP, and 25 strikeouts in 35 1/3 innings of work.
