Rest-of-Season Projections
Chance for saves this weekend
Mears could be in the mix for save opportunities this weekend against the Pirates after the Rockies placed closer Justin Lawrence on the paternity list Friday.
ANALYSIS
Mears was an effective high-leverage option through the first few weeks of the season with a 2.08 ERA and three holds in nine outings, but he's surrendered six runs over his past four appearances. Jake Bird should also be on the shortlist for saves, but neither pitcher provides much fantasy upside. The Rockies have only three saves as a team this season, and Lawrence should rejoin the club early next week.

Joins taxi squad
Mears has been added to the Pirates' taxi squad, reports Alex Stumpf of DKPittsburghSports.com.
ANALYSIS
Mears had elbow surgery in February and was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis when he returned from the injury in August. All in all, he threw 30 innings combined between Triple-A and Single-A and posted a 4.80 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 34:19 K:BB. The 25-year-old righty made 34 relief appearances for Pittsburgh over the previous two seasons and may get a shot to appear in a game or two over the last few days of the season.

2021 Fantasy Outlook
Mears made his big-league debut amidst a shortened 2020 season, making four relief appearances for the Pirates. He surrendered three runs on four hits while striking out seven and walking seven across five innings of work. Prior to his debut, he hadn't pitched above Double-A, where he also saw limited action in 2019. Mears' elevated BB% was alarming in what turned out to be an extremely small sample size, but his strikeout stuff is up there with the best of them, featuring a solid fastball sitting around 96 mph and a curveball at 78 mph. It wouldn't be surprising to see Mears fall near the front end of Pittsburgh's bullpen in 2021 if he's able to crack the Opening Day roster.
