David Phelps may be ready to rejoin Seattle's bullpen in time for the upcoming weekend series against the Rays in Tampa Bay.
Fantasy Implications: Phelps was placed on the 10-day disabled list August 8, after he was forced to exit a game against Kansas City with an elbow impingement two days prior. The 30-year-old right-handed reliever was originally expected to miss two-to-three weeks, but it now appears he will be on the shorter end of that projection. Phelps will throw from a mound in the next couple of days to test his recovery. If all goes well, he is not expected to need a minor-league rehab assignment. Phelps, since joining the Mariners on July 20 after a trade with Miami, has a 1-1 record and three holds, while recording a 2.57 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, 14.1 K/9, and 1.3 BB/9. He should be an asset to fantasy managers in leagues that count holds.
