The Minnesota Twins granted right-hander Jeff Hoffman his release on Tuesday, per an out in his contract. Hoffman throws hard from the right side and was decent in four Grapefruit League relief appearances for the Twins this spring, but he'll be looking for a new opportunity with Opening Day quickly approaching this Thursday. In his last three spring outings, he didn't allow a hit or a run while striking out six in four innings. The 30-year-old will have to settle for a minor-league deal with ...

The Cincinnati Reds are moving back to a five-man starting rotation, and right-hander Jeff Hoffman will move to the bullpen. Vladimir Gutierrez, who returned on Friday after recently being optioned to the minors, will start on Tuesday against the Chicago Cubs. Hoffman allowed five runs over four innings in his latest start against the New York Mets on Wednesday and has an unattractive 5.20 ERA, 1.67 WHIP and 39 strikeouts in 45 innings of work for the Reds. He is off the fantasy radar for now ...

Cincinnati Reds right-hander Jeff Hoffman allowed five runs over four innings in a 7-0 loss to the New York Mets on Wednesday. Hoffman struck out none and walked three while serving up three homers in the afternoon outing. The veteran right-hander was making his first start in almost two months after spending a stint on the injured list with a right shoulder injury. Hoffman now has a 3-5 record, 5.20 ERA, 1.67 WHIP, and 39 strikeouts over 45 innings of work. He can be safely ignored in most ...

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Jeff Hoffman (shoulder) has been activated off the 10-day injured list and will make the start versus the New York Mets on Wednesday. He missed close to two months due to a lingering shoulder issue. This season, Hoffman has posted a 4.61 ERA, 1.59 WHIP, and 39/27 K/BB ratio in 10 starts. He won't be an ideal streaming option or DFS choice on Wednesday. Most fantasy managers can ignore him outside of NL-only formats.

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Jeff Hoffman (shoulder) reported that he will be removed from the injured list to start on Wednesday against the New York Mets. The 28-year-old has been out of commission since the end of May because of right shoulder impingement, so those in need of depth at the position are certainly looking forward to his return. However, with a 3-4 record and a 4.61 ERA on the year, managers should tread lightly, primarily since he is a risky fantasy option.

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Jeff Hoffman (shoulder) said that he will be activated from the injured list and start Wednesday's game against the Mets, according to Bobby Nightengale of the Cincinnati Enquirer. Hoffman has been out since late May with a right shoulder impingement, but before then he was having a decent season by going 3-4 with a 4.61 ERA, 1.585 WHIP and 20.7 percent strikeout rate. This could prove to be a decent matchup for Hoffman, as the Mets are hitting slightly worse ...

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Jeff Hoffman (shoulder) "is ready to go," according to manager David Bell. There's a chance that Hoffman could return to start against the New York Mets next week. Hoffman has been on the injured list since late may with a right shoulder impingement, so fantasy managers should be looking to avoid him if he returns to the rotation early next week. On top of it, the 28-year-old right-hander hasn't been very effective in 10 starts for the Reds in 2021, going 3-4 ...

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Jeff Hoffman (shoulder) will make another rehab start at Low-A Dayton on Friday, according to Mark Sheldon of MLB.com.

Prior to the injury, Hoffman was 3-4 with a 4.61 ERA and 20.7 percent strikeout rate over 10 starts this season. All that being said, it's possible that ...

Cincinnati Reds manager David Bell said that starting pitcher Jeff Hoffman (shoulder) will make another rehab start at Triple-A Louisville later this week before he rejoins the team. Hoffman has missed around a month with a right shoulder impingement, but he has six scoreless innings with nine K's in his first two rehab outings. In his 10 starts for the Reds in 2021, the right-hander is sporting a 4.61 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 39/27 K/BB over 41 innings. Unless the 28-year-old is able to improve on ...

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Jeff Hoffman (shoulder) has been cleared to begin a minor league rehab assignment in Triple-A. He has been out for roughly a month due to a right shoulder impingement. There's a good chance that Hoffman will need a few rehab starts before he is able to rejoin the Reds rotation. Before going down, Hoffman posted a 4.61 ERA, 1.59 WHIP, and 39/27 K/BB ratio through 41 innings. He's probably not an asset in standard leagues, but could offer help to deep league ...
