Roster %
Eligibility
The Royals have selected the contract of Sam Long from Triple-A Omaha.
Fantasy Impact
Long has pitched well in Omaha, posting a 1.31 ERA in 20 2/3 innings pitched this season. He will provide depth in the Royals’ bullpen.
Sam Long was handed the loss after allowing three runs on four hits while striking out two in 2 1/3 innings of Friday's 6-3 loss to the Padres.
Fantasy Impact
Long seems to be the go-to arm for San Francisco to start their bullpen games, as he hasn't gone longer than three innings in any of his outings this season. The 27-year-old holds a solid 2.48 ERA and a WHIP of 1.07 through 32 2/3 innings in 2022. The lefthander should not be considered in fantasy with his low inning count.
Sam Long allowed two unearned runs on three hits while striking out two in three innings of Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Royals.
Fantasy Impact
Long started the bullpen game for the Giants, giving them three solid innings with the only runs coming as a result of an error. He has been really good in his role this season, holding a 1.69 ERA and a WHIP of 1.03 through 21 1/3 innings. However, the lefthander does not hold much fantasy value.
Giants pitcher Sam Long tossed two scoreless innings Friday night, allowing two hits and striking out one while picking up the no-decision in the Giants' 7-1 win over the Nationals.
Fantasy Impact
Long was called on to start with Alex Cobb unavailable Friday night and pitched well in an abbreviated start. The lefthander will continue to serve as a swingman who can pitch in relief or log a few innings in a spot start scenario.
LHP Sammy Long took a no-decision on Sunday when he allowed six runs on six hits with two walks and three strikeouts as the Giants lost to the Braves 9-0.
Fantasy Impact
Anthony DeSclafani started this game, his first appearance since coming off the IL, but exited in the fourth inning with an apparent injury. Long came on in relief but struggled mightily, surrendering six runs over his 4 2/3 innings. He coughed up a two-run triple to Eddie Rosario and a solo homer to Ozzie Albies as part of the onslaught. The poor outing raised his ERA to 5.63 to go along with a 1.25 WHIP over 38 1/3 innings on the year.
