Newsbreakers
December 18, 2009
Phil Dumatrait has reached a minor league deal with the Detroit Tigers.
Our View:
You may remember him as the pitcher who posted a 6.92 ERA in 13 innings for the Pirates last season. If he gets called up at some point, he shouldn't be a fantasy factor.
August 30, 2009
Thr Pittsburgh Post-Gazette is reporting that Phil Dumatrait will not make his scheduled start on Monday since he was used in relief last night. The team will likely recall a pitcher from the minors to make the start.
Our View:
Dumatrait was scheduled to pitch one of the games in the Pirates' double-header, but it looks like the team will instead go with either Virgil Vasquez or Eric Hacker. It looks like Dumatrait will pitch predominantly out of the bullpen for the rest of the season, so no need to give him a look unless he moves into the rotation at some point. Even then, probably not worth it.
August 21, 2009
Updating a previous report, the Pirates plan to recall pitcher Phil Dumatrait, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Dumatrait finished his rehab assignment on Wednesday, and he will join the Pirates' bullpen.
Our View:
No word on the corresponding move, but Dumatrait is heading back to the big club. He hasn't pitched in the majors since June 19, 2008, and he will join the bullpen when he arrives.
August 21, 2009
Phil Dumatrait threw two scoreless innings in his final rehab appearance for Triple-A Indianapolis on Wednesday, according to MLB.com. His rehab assignment has expired, so the team has to make a decision on whether he will join the major league club.
Our View:
Dumatrait was impressive in this appearance, but the Pirates haven't decided what they are going to do with him just yet. He worked out of the bullpen at Indy, so if he does join the Pirates it will be in a relief role. No fantasy relevance here.
July 23, 2009
Phil Dumatrait is slated to make a rehab start with Single-A State College Sunday, according to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. He has been recovering from left shoulder inflammation.
Our View:
He worked four innings in his last rehab outing, and should last a little bit longer in his next start. Dumatrait could return to the Pirates in mid-August, barring a setback.
May 18, 2009
Phil Dumatrait won't be ready to pitch when he comes off the 60-day DL June 4, but should return to the mound soon, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Our View:
Dumatrait is still worth stashing in deeper NL-only leagues as he could work his way into the Pirates' rotation after he returns.
May 4, 2009
Phil Dumatrait could resume throwing soon after being shutdown due to shoulder soreness, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Our View:
Dumatrait will need two lengthy pitching sessions before progressing to a minor league rehab assignment. He could get a chance to start in the Pirates' rotation upon his return, and is worth holding in deeper NL-only leagues.
April 27, 2009
Phil Dumatrait is dealing with shoulder soreness and has been pushed back from his next scheduled start in extended spring training, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Dumatrait will be re-evaluated today and manager John Russell said, "We are very pleased with the progress that he made. Tremendous progress. He has been pushing it pretty hard. Some pitchers get to the dead-arm stage in spring training, this could be one of those issues for him. He is going to have some minor setbacks, and I think this is just one of them. It is nothing major." He has been rehabbing from August shoulder surgery.
Our View:
It was previously believed that he may be able to return to Pittsburgh in early to mid-May before suffering the setback. When he does return, he should be given a chance to start in the rotation, and is worth stashing in deeper NL-only leagues.
April 21, 2009
Phil Dumatrait threw a five inning game Saturday at extended spring training, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. He has another 90 pitch session scheduled for Wednesday. Dumatrait has been on the DL while rehabbing from left shoulder surgery.
Our View:
The Pirates hope to have Dumatrait back in early May, which was the plan for his rehab all along. If things keep progressing nicely, Dumatrait should get an opportunity to start some games for the Pirates.
April 2, 2009
Phil Dumatrait has been placed on the 15-day DL by the Pirates, according to BucsDugout.com. He is rehabbing from left shoulder surgery, and the move is retroactive to March 27.
Our View:
He is 4-6 weeks away from pitching. If healthy, Dumatrait could serve in the rotation, potentially pushing out Jeff Karstens.
March 31, 2009
Phil Dumatrait has resumed pitching, but is still expected to start the season on the disabled list, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. He is recovering from inflammation in his left shoulder.
Our View:
The club states he is 4-6 weeks away from pitching. Dumatrait could work in the rotation if he makes a healthy return.
March 30, 2009
GM Neal Huntington indicated that Phil Dumatrait will start the season on the 15-day DL, according to MLB.com. He is dealing with inflammation in his left shoulder.
Our View:
The club does not expect him to be ready to take the mound for at least a month. When healthy, Dumatrait should be a candidate to work in the rotation.
March 14, 2009
Phil Dumatrait, who has been dealing with inflammation in his left shoulder, has been cleared to resume throwing and is expected to play catch at around 120 feet today, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Our View:
Dumatrait would likely hold a spot in the Pirates' rotation if healthy. As of now, it is uncertain if he will be ready for the start of the season, and should be left for deeper NL-only leagues.
March 12, 2009
Phil Dumatrait has been shut down for an indefinite period of time due to inflammation in his left shoulder, according to the Pirates' official site.
Our View:
Dumatrait was a candidate to fill the back of Pittsburgh's starting rotation, although the Pirates will now have to wait and see how he looks whenever the inflammation dies down. Either way, his 7.08 ERA and 1.81 WHIP would indicate he's not someone you need to bother knowing, even in the deepest of NL-only leagues.
February 26, 2009
Phil Dumatrait reported no pain following his 40-pitch bullpen session Wednesday, according to the Beaver County Times. He is recovering from minor arthroscopic surgery on his throwing shoulder, and he said, "I am feeling good, and the mechanics are good. It was not supposed to, originally, be a long comeback, but I am finally feeling good."
Our View:
Dumatrait is hopeful of returning to full duty by the second or third week in March, and he believes he has a good shot of making the team either as a starter or reliever.
February 19, 2009
Phil Dumatrait threw off a mound yesterday for the first time in 225 days, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. He threw around 25 fastballs and he said, "My arm felt good. It was good to get back on the mound." He will throw long-toss today and likely return to the mound Friday, potentially raising his pitch count.
Our View:
If healthy, Dumatrait will be competing for a spot at the back of the Pirates' rotation, but would likely only be effective enough to consider for deeper NL-only leagues.
February 16, 2009
Phil Dumatrait, who had been dealing with nagging shoulder pain, made around 75 throws from 150 feet Sunday, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Our View:
If healthy, Dumatrait will be competing for a spot at the back of the Pirates' rotation, but would not likely be effective enough to consider for fantasy rosters.
January 20, 2009
Phil Dumatrait is set to resume throwing today after being shut down for two weeks with nagging shoulder pain, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Our View:
If healthy, Dumatrait will be competing for a spot at the back of the Pirates' rotation in spring training.
January 16, 2009
Phil Dumatrait, who has been slowed by a sore shoulder, is expected to resume throwing Monday, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Our View:
He could be ready for spring training if he doesn't suffer another setback. He would be competing for a spot in the rotation if healthy.
January 8, 2009
Phil Dumatrait is being slowed by his sore shoulder, which has put his off-season throwing program on hold, according to MLB.com. Dumatrait visited Dr. James Andrews today, after complaining of lingering soreness in his left shoulder. Andrews revealed an area of inflammation in Dumatrait's left shoulder, and as a result, he has been shut down from throwing for the next 10 days.
Our View:
His status for spring training remains uncertain, and looks to compromise his bid to earn a spot in the Pirates' rotation for the start of the 2009 campaign.
