Don't expect to see Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Chris Archer in pinstripes this season.According to Fancred'sJon Heyman http://www.metsfanproshop.com/authentic-tim-tebow-jersey , the New York Yankees are "not likely" to acquire the right-handed starter prior to Tuesday non-waiver trade deadline. Heyman explained it doesn't make "much sense" for the American League East second-place team to trade for him unless it moves Sonny Gray.Archer has a 4.31 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 102 strikeouts in 96 innings this season after posting an ERA over 4.00 in each of the last two years. Despite the solid but unspectacular numbers, he is still just 29 years old and finished with a sub-3.50 ERA three straight seasons from 2013 through 2015.The two-time All-Star would also bring an element of team control that many deadline acquisitions don't,seeingas how he isn't set to be an unrestricted free agent until 2022, perSpotrac.While the Yankees are 5.5 games behind the Boston Red Sox in the AL East and a middling 13th in the league in starting pitcher ERA Pedro Martinez Jersey , perESPN.com, the rotation has stabilized of late thanks to the emergence of Gray. He has allowed just two earned runs in his last 16.1 innings, giving New York a weapon alongside the newly acquired J.A. Happ, Luis Severino, Masahiro Tanaka and CC Sabathia.With Happ now in the rotation and Gray bouncing back Max Kepler Jersey , there is less need for Archer as New York pursues a spot in the postseason. CLEVELAND (AP) — Chicago White Sox pitcher Michael Kopech had Tommy John surgery on his right elbow Tuesday and will miss the 2019 season.Kopech, the top pitching prospect in the organization, is expected to be ready for spring training in 2020. The surgery was performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache in Los Angeles.Kopech, 22, was 1-1 with a 5.02 ERA in four starts this season. He was placed on the 60-day disabled list with a torn elbow ligament Sept 8.“Michael understands intellectually what it’s going to require to come back Zach Duke Jersey ,” manager Rick Renteria said. “We’re confident that he’ll be able to do that and become the kind of pitcher we know he can be.”Kopech was acquired in the trade that sent star pitcher Chris Sale to Boston following the 2016 season. He was drafted by Boston in the first round in 2014.
