Heck, there were 132 pitchers on the injured list … before Opening Day.
Pitcher injuries are far from a new thing, but, for some reason, hurlers seem to be dropping like flies this season — especially high-end options. Atlanta’s Spencer Strider is out for the year
Whether it’s pitchers being pushed to throw harder with higher spin rates on every pitch or the pitch clock, fantasy managers are left to fill big holes in their rotations . A look at widely available options for your squad: Kutter Crawford hasn’t picked up a win in his first three starts, but he owns a 0.57 ERA with a 28.1 percent strikeout rate, .127 opponent’s average and 10.8 percent swinging-strike rate.
Aaron Civale is widely available despite being 2-0 with a 2.12 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 9.53 strikeouts per nine. Cincinnati’s Frankie Montas is 2-1 with a 2.16 ERA, a 1.140 WHIP and .234 opponents average. He is walking just 2.2 per nine innings, a career-best mark, while striking out almost 20 percent of the batters he faces. If he can stay healthy, he is a solid add with some upside.
– Finding Nimmo: After going 1-for-21 with a .333 OPS over his first six games, Brandon Nimmo was 9-for-22 with two homers, 10 RBIs, five runs and a 1.344 OPS in his next five games. He is walking in 15.1 percent of his at-bats, his best mark since 2019.
