Chris Stratton News
The St. Louis Cardinals agreed to a one-year contract with free-agent right-hander Chris Stratton on Thursday. The deal is reportedly for $2.8 million. Stratton began the 2022 season with the Pittsburgh Pirates but was eventually acquired by the Cardinals in a trade. In his 20 relief appearances with St. Louis, he had a nice 2.78 ERA (2.80 FIP), a 1.50 WHIP, 23 strikeouts and 12 walks in 22 2/3 innings. In total, the 32-year-old posted a 4.26 ERA (3.32 FIP), a 1.53 WHIP, two saves and a 60:25 K:BB in 63 1/3 innings pitched over 60 appearances (one start). Stratton will only become attractive in fantasy if he makes any spot starts for the Red Birds.
The St. Louis Cardinals acquired right-hander Chris Stratton and left-hander Jose Quintana from the Pittsburgh Pirates on Monday night in exchange for right-hander Johan Oviedo and minor league infielder Malcom Nunez. The main piece of this trade was the veteran Quintana going to St. Louis to bolster their banged-up rotation as they make a run for a playoff spot. Stratton has had a rough year in Pittsburgh with a 5.09 ERA, 1.55 WHIP, two saves, 37 strikeouts and 13 walks in 40 2/3 innings over 40 appearances (one start). The 31-year-old should give St. Louis some more bullpen depth the rest of the way in 2022.
Pittsburgh Pirates relief pitcher Chris Stratton earned the save in Friday's 4-2 victory over the Chicago Cubs. He has now recorded saves on back-to-back days. They are his first two saves on the year. The 31-year-old pitched a scoreless ninth inning in Friday's game, but he allowed a pair of base hits. Fellow Pirates relievers David Bednar and Wil Crowe have a save each this season. Bednar was used in the eighth in Friday's game. Crowe, meanwhile, has been exclusively used as a multi-inning reliever. His save, which came on April 13, was an atypical three-inning save. It certainly looks like the closer job is Stratton's to lose right now. Make sure he is rostered in any league where saves are highly-coveted.
