Drew VerHagen Stats

St. Louis Cardinals right-hander Drew VerHagen (hip) came through his one-inning minor-league rehab stint well on Thursday. If he recovers well on Friday, he could come off the 15-day injured list on Saturday to rejoin the Cardinals' bullpen. The 32-year-old reliever gave up a run on Thursday for Double-A Springfield, but he looks to be on the verge of returning to the big-league roster. VerHagen hasn't been fantasy relevant this year with his 4.78 ERA (4.85 FIP), 1.46 WHIP, 18 walks and 38 strikeouts in 37 2/3 innings pitched over 35 relief outings for the Red Birds. In eight major-league seasons, he's sporting a 5.19 ERA (4.92 FIP), 1.47 WHIP and 212 strikeouts in 258 1/3 innings over 181 appearances (eight starts).

St. Louis Cardinals right-hander Drew VerHagen (hip) will have season-ending hip surgery shortly, according to a team official. VerHagen injured his hip in April and won't make it back for the rest of the 2022 season. The 31-year-old had signed a two-year, $5.5 million deal with St. Louis in free agency. He'll end the season with just 21 2/3 innings under his belt in 19 relief outings, posting a 6.65 ERA, 1.89 WHIP, 18 strikeouts and 14 walks for the Red Birds. VerHagen wasn't on the fantasy radar to begin with.

The St. Louis Cardinals have activated left-hander Steven Matz (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list ahead of his start against the Cincinnati Reds on Sunday. In a corresponding move, the team placed right-hander Drew VerHagen (hip) on the 15-day injured list with a right hip impingement. VerHagen's move to the injured list is retroactive to July 15. Matz had been out since late May with a left shoulder impingement. He'll be looking to turn his season around after he compiled an ugly 6.03 ERA and 1.39 WHIP across his first nine starts of the year.
