Latest Fantasy Rumors
Chance for big-league debut?
PArizona Diamondbacks  AAA
July 2, 2024
Mena could be called up to make his MLB debut Wednesday against the Dodgers after previously scheduled starter Jordan Montgomery was placed on the injured list with knee inflammation, reports Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com.
ANALYSIS
Mena's last outing for Triple-A Reno came on June 26, so he could easily be inserted into Arizona's rotation. The 21-year-old was acquired from the White Sox in February and has struggled for Reno this season with a 4.90 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 89:38 K:BB in 16 starts, so he would be a risky streaming option for fantasy managers should he get the call from the Diamondbacks.
