Drey Jameson's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander Drey Jameson (elbow) threw his first bullpen session on Friday since having Tommy John surgery last September, according to manager Torey Lovullo. Jameson isn't going to pitch at all in 2024, but it's a notable step for the 26-year-old as he looks to be ready to go for the start of the 2025 campaign next spring. Jameson was a former 34th overall pick in 2019 out of Ball State and had an impressive MLB debut in 2022, when he went 3-0 with a 1.48 ERA (3.19 FIP) and 1.11 WHIP with 24 strikeouts and seven walks in his first four starts over 24 1/3 innings. He was used as a starter and reliever in 2023 but was more effective out of the bullpen, going a combined 3-1 with a 3.32 ERA and 1.43 WHIP with 37 K's and 18 walks in 15 outings (three starts). It remains to be seen what role he'll be in to begin the 2025 season.

Arizona Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said he doesn't expect right-hander Drey Jameson (elbow) to pitch in 2024 after having Tommy John surgery last September. Jameson will spend all year rehabbing with the hopes of being ready to go for the start of the 2025 regular season. The 26-year-old former first-rounder in 2019 out of Ball State made his big-league debut in 2022 and has posted a strong 2.63 ERA (4.17 FIP), a 1.31 WHIP, one save, 25 walks and 61 strikeouts in 65 innings over 19 appearances (seven starts) for the D-backs in the last two years. Jameson lost out on a starting role out of camp last spring but was very effective in a relief role in Arizona's bullpen. The Diamondbacks almost certainly want Jameson to pitch in a starting role in the long-term.
