Remains inconsistent Stephan has allowed nine runs in his last 11.1 innings.

Impact In that span, which covers eight appearances, Stephan has only kept opponents off the board three times. He's also yielded four home runs. The rookie right-hander has a 4.70 ERA, 1.51 WHIP and 44:20 K:BB across 38.1 innings. With an FIP of 6.06, it's safe to say Stephan has gotten a little lucky this season, which doesn't bode well for his chances of pitching himself into a high-leverage role in the last two months of the season.

Still struggling Stephan allowed three runs on four hits in one inning during Saturday's 8-2 loss to Tampa Bay.

Impact Stephan has received just four appearances in July, allowing four runs across six innings. He hasn't had more than two consecutive scoreless outings since May, which has kept the right-hander in a low-leverage role. The 25-year-old rookie has a 4.89 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 42:18 K:BB with 10 home runs allowed through 35 innings.

Mixed results lately Stephan pitched 2.1 perfect innings with three strikeouts in Friday's 6-3 loss to Houston.

Impact The 25-year-old was able to settle things down after another rough start from Sam Hentges. Stephan has had some shaky performances of his own lately, allowing two runs in each of his prior two outings. The right-hander has a 4.31 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 37:18 K:BB across 31.1 innings while mainly working in a low-leverage role.

Impact Stephan got the last two outs of the fifth inning and then retired the side in the sixth. The win was the first of the right-hander's major-league career. He's pitched to a 3.81 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 31:16 K:BB across 26 innings this season in a low-leverage role.

Works scoreless inning Saturday Stephan allowed a hit and a walk and struck out two in a scoreless inning in Saturday's 5-4 extra-inning over Seattle.

Impact While he allowed two baserunners Saturday, Stephan was able to get away with it this time. That hasn't always been the case this season, as the 25-year-old owns a 4.43 ERA, 1.70 WHIP and 25:16 K:BB across 22.1 innings. Until he can show more command, he'll be limited to low-leverage work.

Posts scoreless inning Stephan struck out two in a perfect inning in a 6-5 win over Toronto in Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader.

Impact Stephan worked the sixth inning, and he kept the deficit at 4-0. Cleveland rallied to tie in the bottom half of the inning before walking it off in the seventh. Through 7.1 innings in May, Stephan has allowed only two runs. The right-hander has a 4.50 ERA, 1.72 WHIP and 22:12 K:BB across 18 innings overall, so he should be expected to remain in a low-leverage role.

Logs 2.1 scoreless innings Stephan allowed two hits and a walk while striking out three over 2.1 scoreless innings in Monday's 7-4 loss to the Angels.

Impact Sam Hentges was torched for six runs in 1.2 innings before Stephan entered the contest and calmed things down. Five of his nine outings this season have lasted more than one inning. Stephan owns a 4.50 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 18:7 K:BB across 14 innings in a low-leverage role.

Allows homer in relief outing Stephan allowed one run on two hits and a walk with two strikeouts over 1.2 innings in Wednesday's 10-2 loss to the Twins.

Impact Logan Allen had an awful start, and Stephan was needed to help get through the second inning. He also pitched the third, allowing a solo shot to Willians Astudillo as the Twins ran away with the game. The 25-year-old Stephan has a 5.91 ERA, 1.59 WHIP and 13:5 K:BB across 10.2 innings. He's mostly worked in a multi-inning, low-leverage role this season. He's also given up four home runs -- keeping the ball in the yard will be critical for his effectiveness this season.

Rough relief outing Stephan allowed two runs on two hits and struck out one in one inning in Saturday's 11-3 win over the Tigers.

Impact Stephan pitched the ninth inning and allowed a two-run home run to Jeimer Candelario. Luckily for Cleveland, it wasn't a close game. Stephan had one scoreless appearance this season prior to Saturday's rocky outing. The 25-year-old right-hander will likely see low-leverage assignments like he did Saturday, so fantasy managers probably won't need to follow his progress closely. As a Rule 5 pick, Cleveland has to keep Stephan on the roster all season, or he'll be offered back to the Yankees.

Earns roster spot Stephan was informed that he's won an Opening Day roster spot Sunday, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

Impact Stephan was selected in the Rule 5 draft in December and evidently did enough in camp to stick around. He'll have to be kept on the big-league roster all season or be offered back to the Yankees. He's likely ticketed for low-leverage work, as he's yet to advance beyond Double-A and recorded a 5.24 ERA at that level in 12 starts in 2019.
