BALLER MOVE: Add in shallow leagues of any size.ROSTERED IN: 39% of leaguesANALYSIS: Flaherty hasn't had the best season so far. He has a 4.27 ERA and a 4.46 xFIP, but he hasn't allowed an earned run in each of his last two starts totaling 12.2 innings. Since May 9, he has a 3.09 ERA over 10 starts. Flaherty hasn't thrown even 100 innings since 2019.https://twitter.com/JonPgh/status/1677291402571714561?s=20As he approaches that number this year, he seems to be regaining his footing as a solid ...

St. Louis Cardinals right-hander Jack Flaherty (hip) has been scratched from his scheduled start on Sunday in London against the division-rival Chicago Cubs due to right-hip tightness, according to manager Oliver Marmol. It's unclear if the injury will force the 27-year-old to the injured list, so fantasy managers will need to check back for more updates on Flaherty in the coming days. The Cardinals haven't announced a replacement to start on Sunday. Perhaps the hip injury explains why Flaherty...

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Jack Flaherty threw 6 1/3 innings in Monday's 8-6 victory over the Washington Nationals. The 27-year-old struck out five during his fourth win, but he was lifted by the offense in this one. It was Flaherty's second straight outing allowing 10 hits and six runs, not exactly something he'll want to keep a habit of. Most of the right-hander's work to rebuild his ERA after a 10-run bruising versus the Los Angeles Angels on May 4 has been erased with these ...

It's been another bad year for the once highly-touted prospect, with his poor 11.8% SwStr% and 12.6% BB%. However, over his last four starts he's lowered the walk rate to 8.0% and raised the strikeout rate to 25%.https://twitter.com/PitchingNinja/status/1664778398122606594?s=20The whiffs still haven't come, and the pitch mix is far ...

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ team leaguesROSTERED IN: 35% of leaguesANALYSIS: It feels dirty to do this, but Flaherty has done enough to get himself some fantasy consideration back. In his last outing, he racked up 17 whiffs and struck out ten Brewers through seven innings. It was a fantastic start. His strike rate also hit a season-high at 54%.https://twitter.com/RotoBallerMLB/status/1660278026972860419?s=20Will we see those results consistently come from Flaherty in the near future?

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Jack Flaherty is coming off of his most dominant effort of the season as he does battle with the hard-hitting Los Angeles Dodgers lineup on Sunday.

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Jack Flaherty fell to 1-2 in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Diamondbacks. Flaherty pitched six innings, allowing four runs on four hits (including a solo home run) and three walks with four strikeouts. While his overall numbers look good, walks have been a major issue for the 27-year-old. He now has a 2.95 ERA, 7.17 K/9 rate, and 7.17 BB/9 rate. Fantasy managers have probably gotten away with starting Flaherty in points leagues, but having as many walks as ...

St. Louis Cardinals right-hander Jack Flaherty (calf, illness) is making the Grapefruit League start on Monday against the Houston Astros. Flaherty has been dealing with a minor calf issue and was scratched from his scheduled spring debut on Sunday with flu-like symptoms. The 27-year-old starter is expected to go around three innings in his first Grapefruit League appearance. Flaherty should have plenty of time to get ready for Opening Day, but fantasy managers probably aren't chomping at the ...
