During them, he posted a 0-0 record, a 9.00 ERA, and two strikeouts in two innings pitched.<\/p>\n<p>Roxby has spent most of this season with Triple-A Sacramento, though. In 36 appearances with the Triple-A club in 2026, the 6-foot-3 righty has a 4-3 record, a 4.11 ERA, and 53 strikeouts. Overall, he has been a decent reliever for the Triple-A club and will now be looking to perform well after being sent back down.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/author\/michaelderosa98\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Michael DeRosa<\/a> Michael covers the NHL, NFL, and MLB for Heavy.com.
