Chris Archer Stats

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Chris Archer (forearm) will make his next rehab outing this Saturday with Triple-A Durham. Archer was able to throw 1 1/3 scoreless innings in his first rehab appearance in the Florida Complex League on Monday, so he's slowly making his way back. The right-hander has been missing in action since mid-April with a right forearm strain, which means he'll need more of a lengthy rehab assignment before he's back in the major leagues. In just 4 1/3 frames before his injury this year, Archer allowed three earned runs on seven hits while striking out six and walking one. The 32-year-old has seen his fantasy stock drop ever since his first half season with the Pittsburgh Pirates in 2018. Those in mixed leagues can continue to take a wait-and-see approach when he's back in Tampa's starting rotation.

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Chris Archer (forearm) will begin a rehab assignment with the Rays' Florida Complex League team on Monday, according to Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times. Archer has been out since the beginning of April due to forearm tightness, but it's starting to look like he could be getting closer to a return to action. That being said, managers shouldn't be in a huge rush to stash him, as he only pitched 4 1/3 innings this year before the injury, and didn't look significantly improved from his past few seasons in his brief time this year.

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Chris Archer (forearm) tossed a simulated game on Friday. The outing only lasted an inning. However, he appears to be moving in a promising direction after being out for months because of tendinitis. Although the righty hasn't been the most consistent fantasy option, he has had some favorable outings over the years when the matchup is right. Nonetheless, he isn't worth much from a fantasy standpoint at the moment, so the few managers who still have him on the roster can safely part ways with him.
