Aaron Civale News
Cleveland Guardians manager Terry Francona said Monday afternoon that starting pitcher Aaron Civale would start against the Yankees in the American League Division Series Game 5 even if it were pushed back a day, per the Athletic's Zack Meisel. This will be the case, as Monday's scheduled game was postponed due to rain. The 27-year-old put together a lackluster 4.92 ERA and 1.19 WHIP in 20 starts this season and would be opposed by Nestor Cortes if he were to pitch Tuesday. The postponement does open the potential for the Guardians to start Shane Bieber, who had a stellar 2.88 ERA through 31 regular-season starts and has a 2.03 ERA through two 2022 post-season starts. It remains to be seen if Francona will stick to his word, but it does look like Bieber would give the Guardians the best shot of advancing to the American League Championship Series.
Cleveland Guardians starting pitcher Aaron Civale has been named the Game 5 starter for the team. The Guardians will play Game 4 versus the New York Yankees on Sunday. They will obviously look to put away the Yankees here, but Civale is set to pitch in Game 5, assuming it gets that far. The 27-year-old has been better lately, but is posting a 4.92 ERA, 1.19 WHIP, and 98/22 K/BB ratio this season. It's worth noting that Game 5 would be on the road where Civale has a 5.88 ERA this season. The Guardians are hopeful to win on Sunday, so Civale might not be needed.
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 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.
