John Curtiss's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

The Colorado Rockies signed free-agent reliever John Curtiss to a minor-league deal with an invitation to big-league spring training on Thursday, according to a source. Curtiss is expected to be ready for the start of the 2024 season after having arthroscopic surgery on his right elbow last August. Before his injury, the 30-year-old right-hander allowed 10 earned runs on 17 hits (three home runs) while walking eight and striking out 16 in 19 2/3 innings over 15 appearances out of the bullpen for the New York Mets. He will open the year as minor-league relief depth for Colorado after posting a 3.81 ERA (3.98 FIP), 1.23 WHIP, two saves and 103 strikeouts in 106 1/3 innings over 91 appearances (five starts) in six big-league seasons with six different teams.
