Top Ryne Stanek News

  • Astros' Ryne Stanek: Back from IL

    The Astros reinstated Stanek (ankle) from the 15-day injured list Friday.

    Stanek was placed on the injured list Sept. 5 with a right ankle sprain after having to be carted off the field the day before. Since then, he's pitched a scoreless inning with Triple-A Sugar Land and is now ready to return to Houston's bullpen as a middle reliever. Joel Kuhnel was optioned to Sugar Land in a corresponding move.

  • Astros' Ryne Stanek: Ready for rehab assignment

    Stanek (ankle) will begin a rehab assignment Tuesday with Triple-A Sugar Land, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

    Stanek landed on the injured list earlier this month with a sprained ankle, but he has made good progress since and is ready to resuming pitching in games. If all goes well Tuesday, he could be activated Wednesday when first eligible, or shortly thereafter.

  • Astros' Ryne Stanek: Throwing bullpen session

    Stanek (ankle) will throw a bullpen session Wednesday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

    Stanek landed on the 15-day injured list after spraining his right ankle early last week, but it's looking like he'll have a shot to return when his 15 days are up. He holds a 4.07 ERA and 49:21 K:BB over 48.2 innings this season.

  • Astros' Ryne Stanek: Lands on injured list

    Stanek was placed on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a right ankle sprain.

    The right-hander suffered the injury while covering first base during Monday's win over the Rangers and will be sidelined for at least the next couple weeks. Stanek will be first eligible for activation Sept. 20.

  • Astros' Ryne Stanek: Exits with ankle injury

    Stanek suffered a right ankle injury during his relief appearance in Monday's game against the Rangers, Julia Morales of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports. He failed to record an out and surrendered one earned run on two hits prior to his departure.

    Stanek went down hard after covering first base, and he was eventually carted off the field. The Astros will likely re-evaluate him after the game before providing a diagnosis of his injury, but if Stanek is forced to miss significant time, it would be a significant loss to the Houston bullpen. He's posted a 1.86 ERA and 0.62 WHIP with a 9:0 K:BB over his last 10 appearances heading into Monday.

  • Astros' Ryne Stanek: Reinstated by Astros

    Stanek was activated from the family medical emergency list Friday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

    Stanek had been away from the Astros since last weekend while tending to family matters. He returns to a 4.57 ERA and 21:14 K:BB over 21.2 innings.

  • Astros' Ryne Stanek: Placed on bereavement list

    Houston placed Stanek on the family medical emergency list Saturday, Matt Young of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Stanek will take some time away from the Astros for at least a few days while dealing with more important matters. Houston will announce a corresponding transaction before Sunday's game against the Guardians.

  • Astros' Ryne Stanek: Avoids arbitration

    Stanek signed a one-year, $3.6 million contract with Houston on Friday to avoid arbitration, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    In his final year of arbitration eligibility, Stanek receives a healthy raise from his $2.1 million salary last season. The 31-year-old reliever was impressive out of the bullpen in 2022, posting a miniscule 1.15 ERA and 1.23 WHIP over 54.2 innings with 17 holds.

  • Astros' Ryne Stanek: Earns first win

    Stanek (1-0) allowed a walk in a scoreless ninth inning to earn the win Monday against the Royals.

    Stanek entered the game in the ninth inning with the score knotted at six and earned his first win of the season when Yordan Alvarez homered in the bottom of the frame. Stanked turned in his 24th consecutive scoreless appearance and has maintained a 24:9 K:BB across 20 innings in that span. Stanek has an excellent 0.67 ERA with eight holds on the season, though he is likely to be limited to a setup role.

  • Astros' Ryne Stanek: Converts first save

    Stanek allowed one run on one hit and one walk while striking out one in one inning to record a save against the Rangers on Wednesday.

    With Ryan Pressly (knee) on the injured list, fantasy managers have been eager to see who would notch Houston's first save in his stead. Hector Neris has been a popular pickup, but he pitched the eighth and registered a hold Wednesday, with Stanek given the opportunity to close things out in the ninth. The right-hander made things interesting, allowing a run on a walk and a double before striking out Kole Calhoun with the tying run on third base to end the game. Pressly may not be far from a return, and Stanek isn't a lock for the team's next save opportunity while the No. 1 closer is out, so the latter is only a speculative short-term pickup in fantasy.

  • Astros' Ryne Stanek: Throws clean frame

    Stanek did not allow a baserunner or strike out any hitters in a scoreless inning Sunday against the Mariners.

    Stanek was dealing with tightness in his back throughout the weekend series, but he was able to take the mound in the finale. His performance wasn't particularly notable, as the Astros were down 7-2 when he entered the game. However, with Ryan Pressly (knee) on the injured list, Stanek is a potential source of saves in the short term.

  • Astros' Ryne Stanek: Available despite tight back

    Stanek is experiencing some tightness in his back Saturday but is available to pitch against the Mariners, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

    Save chances are available temporarily in Houston with Ryan Pressly on the injured list due to right knee inflammation. Stanek is one of the top candidates for those opportunities but might not get them if he's not at full strength, especially as he may be behind Hector Neris on the depth chart even if fully healthy.

  • Astros' Ryne Stanek: Won't need arbiter

    Stanek and the Astros agreed to terms on a one-year, $2.1 million deal Tuesday, avoiding arbitration, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Stanek will receive a $1 million raise following a season in which he struck out 28.6 percent of opposing batters en route to a 3.42 ERA.

  • Astros' Ryne Stanek: Earns relief win

    Stanek (2-0) tossed a perfect one-third of an inning to earn the win in Game 1 of the ALCS against the Red Sox on Friday.

    Stanek was called upon to record the final out in the top of the seventh inning Friday, and he picked up his second win of the 2021 postseason. The righty has recorded a 0.75 WHIP in 2.2 scoreless innings across his four playoff starts this year.

  • Astros' Ryne Stanek: Picks up win in Game 2

    Stanek (1-0) allowed a hit and a walk while striking out two in a scoreless seventh inning to earn the win against the White Sox in Game 2 of the ALDS on Friday.

    Stanek put runners on first and second base after he struck out the first two batters he faced Friday, but he forced a lineout to end the inning. The right-hander earned three wins during the regular season and picked up his first win of the postseason after the Astros plated five runs in the bottom of the seventh. The 30-year-old should continue to serve as a setup man during the playoffs.
