Welcome to week 11! The weather is hot, and so are the league's hitters.Offense across the league is up with the temperature, and we have seen plenty of pitchers either falling victim to injury or just not keeping up their hot starts to the year. Guys like Kyle Wright and Eric Lauer have seen their stocks fall quite a bit since they burst back onto the scene in April - and there are plenty of other pitchers showing worse performance lately.All of this may have you reeling for SP help, so we're ...

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Kyle Wright continued his breakout campaign versus the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday. He went six innings, allowed five hits, and three earned runs with seven strikeouts in the victory. The 26-year-old has given up three or fewer earned runs in 11 of his 12 starts to begin the season. He'll carry a 2.57 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 80/25 K/BB ratio into his next start against the Chicago Cubs. Fantasy managers should continue to lean on Wright going forward.

Welcome to Week Eight! We more or less dodged any more devastating injury news in the starting pitcher world this week, but I'm sure there are plenty of teams out there starving for good starting pitching.We had a few cases of breakout pitchers that we quickly identified early in the year, and those names continue to put up great fantasy numbers here as we enter June. We're talking about guys like Eric Lauer and Kyle Wright. Those kinds of breakouts are tougher to find at this point in the ...

Starting pitching has been surprisingly deep so far this season, with multiple arms posting stellar numbers. Kyle Wright might be the most surprising for fantasy purposes. The 26-year-old pitched well in the 2021 World Series for the Atlanta Braves, but he wasn't even on the roster for the other postseason rounds and never did anything worth a look in fantasy. Naturally, he has a 3-0 record, 1.13 ERA, and 2.14 xFIP in 24 IP this season with a 37 K%.Wright was once a highly regarded prospect, ...

Week four of fantasy baseball is upon us, and we have seen a lot of exciting developments on the starting pitcher scene. Kyle Wright, an early recommendation in this post series, continues to dominate, while young rookies like Hunter Greene and Nick Lodolo have fallen off a bit due to performance and injury.The pool of pitchers is thinning as these early-season breakouts get identified and scooped up in most leagues, but we still have some guys that are very well worth a roster that are likely ...

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Kyle Wright had another solid outing on Thursday as his club defeated the Cubs 5-1. The right-hander allowed one run over seven frames, striking out eight and walking four as he improved his record to 3-0 on the campaign. The lone run scored on a pickoff play in the second inning where Nico Hoerner was able to stay in a rundown long enough for the runner from third base to reach home. Wright now sits with a 1.13 ERA, 0.83 WHIP, and a 34/6 K/BB through 24 IP this...

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Kyle Wright recorded his first win in his season debut on Saturday as his club topped the Reds 2-1. The 26-year-old was sharp in this one, allowing just two hits and one walk while striking out six over six-shutout frames. 56 of his 76 pitches were strikes as he seemed to be in control all evening by keeping the base paths quiet. Wright spent nearly all of the 2021 campaign in the minors, but did contribute positively in the World Series, so he's worth keeping on...

Atlanta Braves left-handed pitcher Drew Smyly (forearm) was placed on the 10-day injured list with left forearm inflammation after he was scratched from his start on Friday against the Chicago Cubs.
