Aaron Civale News
Cleveland Guardians right-hander Aaron Civale (forearm) will be activated from the injured list to make a start against the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday. Civale landed on the injured list with inflammation in his right forearm. The veteran hurler has mostly struggled in 2022, although he had started to pitch better before getting sidelined by the injury. Overall, Civale has a 2-6 record, 5.40 ERA, 1.31 WHIP, and 75 strikeouts over 75 innings of work.
The plan is for Cleveland Guardians right-hander Aaron Civale (forearm) to return to the starting rotation and pitch against the Chicago White Sox next Tuesday, according to manager Terry Francona. Civale surrendered four earned runs and allowed two home runs in 2 2/3 innings in his minor league rehab start on Thursday, but the Guardians feel he's ready to return to their rotation next week. The 27-year-old hasn't pitched well in the big leagues this year either, going 2-6 with a 5.40 ERA (3.92 FIP), a 1.31 WHIP, 75 strikeouts and 20 walks in 75 innings over his 16 starts. Civale won't particularly be an attractive streaming option for fantasy managers in his first start back, though he could be a two-start pitcher next week.
The Cleveland Guardians placed starting pitchers Zach Plesac (hand) and Aaron Civale (forearm) on the injured list on Friday and added Xzavion Curry and Kirk McCarty to the active roster in corresponding moves. Plesac was scratched from his start on Friday against the Seattle Mariners with a right hand fracture, while Civale is dealing with right forearm inflammation. Pitching prospect Cody Morris will make his major league debut on Friday against Seattle and will be a risky streamer for fantasy managers. There's a chance that both Plesac and Civale won't pitch for the Guardians again in 2022. Plesac has gone 3-11 with a 4.39 ERA (4.50 FIP), 1.31 WHIP and 99 K's in 127 innings (23 starts). Civale has a 5.40 ERA (3.94 FIP), 1.31 WHIP and 75 strikeouts in 75 innings (16 starts).

The Cleveland righty was having a pretty solid season in 2021 before the injury that cost him more than two months. All-in-all, he threw 124.1 innings with a mediocre 3.84 ERA but a strong 1.12 WHIP. That is pretty close to his career totals of a 3.76 ERA and a 1.16 WHIP through his 256 innings. He is not a high strikeout arm with a career strikeout rate below 21%. The appeal on Civale is the how deep he gets into games. In 21 starts last year, he reached at least six innings 13 times and went seven or more on seven occasions. Those are quite high rates for the state of the league currently, so he gets a significant boost in leagues that include the quality start. What he lacks in strikeout rate he makes up for a bit in walk rate with a very low career mark of 6.1% there. Last year, you were drafting Civale to be a workhorse innings-eater type guy for you. That could still be the case this year, but it is a little bit less certain now coming off the shortened 2021 season. With the way Cleveland has utilized their starting pitchers in recent history, I would feel pretty confident that he can get up into the 180-inning range and bring a good supply of wins and quality starts, but he's not going to help you a ton anywhere else. The decision to draft Civale around his ADP of 260 should depend on how your pitching staff looks at that point in the draft. If you need some safer innings, he might be your guy.
