Emmet Sheehan Fantasy Stats

Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Emmet Sheehan turned in a dominant performance in a 3-1 loss to the San Francisco Giants on Sunday. Sheehan held the Giants to one hit over seven scoreless, walk-less innings and piled up 10 strikeouts for the second time this season. He exited with a 1-0 lead after throwing 84 pitches (58 strikes) and generating 17 whiffs, but reliever Blake Treinen imploded in the eighth en route to a disappointing defeat for the Dodgers. Sheehan has now allowed one earned run or fewer in three straight outings, dropping his season ERA to 2.86 with a .97 WHIP and 86:22 K:BB over 72 1/3 frames. The 25-year-old will make his last start of the regular season on Friday against the Seattle Mariners, manager Dave Roberts announced.

Sonja Chen of MLB.com reported on Saturday that due to the off days last Thursday and this Monday, Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Emmet Sheehan is being skipped this turn through the rotation, per manager Dave Roberts. That lines up Clayton Kershaw on Tuesday and Shohei Ohtani on Wednesday. Ohtani is expected to be the designated hitter on Thursday. With the Dodgers' pitching staff finally getting healthy, Sheehan appears to be the "odd-man out" or the one that Roberts wants not to overwork, as Sheehan is coming off Tommy John surgery in 2024. Sheehan will likely return to the mound against the Baltimore Orioles this weekend, but at this time, it's still not certain. Regardless, this is unfortunate news for Sheehan's fantasy managers, as the fantasy playoffs are underway and his turn in the rotation is being skipped. Sheehan has been solid as a starting pitcher for the Dodgers with a 3.56 ERA and 1.13 WHIP in 48 innings pitched.

Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Emmet Sheehan will join the team's six-man starting rotation going forward and will start on Tuesday in L.A. against the visiting St. Louis Cardinals, according to Bill Plunkett of the Orange County Register. Right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto will go on Sunday in the series finale against the Tampa Bay Rays and right-hander Tyler Glasnow will get Monday's series opener against the Cards. Shohei Ohtani will slot in on Wednesday for the series finale against St. Louis. The 25-year-old Sheehan will essentially be taking the rotation spot of Dustin May, who was traded to Boston this week. Tuesday's start against St. Louis will be his fifth start of the year. Sheehan has been decent in only six MLB outings in 2025, posting a 3.60 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 26:10 K:BB. He'll be useful for starting depth in deeper fantasy leagues until Roki Sasaki (shoulder) returns.

Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Emmet Sheehan is scheduled to make his first start of the second half of the season on Saturday against the visiting Milwaukee Brewers. In Sheehan's last appearance, he went 4 1/3 innings as the bulk reliever behind "opener" Shohei Ohtani on July 12. Saturday will be the 25-year-old's third start of the season and only his fourth big-league appearance. He's been strong so far in just 13 1/3 innings for the Blue, allowing three earned runs on 10 hits while walking four and striking out 13 batters. Once the Dodgers' starting rotation is back to full health -- mainly whenever lefty Blake Snell (shoulder) is ready to return -- Sheehan will move to a long-relief role or back to the minors. While Sheehan has looked good in a small sample size this year, he'll be a shaky streamer this weekend against the red-hot Brewers.

Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Emmet Sheehan impressed in his return to the rotation on Sunday, tossing five strong innings of one-run ball against the Houston Astros. Sheehan did not factor into the decision in the Dodgers' 5-1 loss. The 25-year-old righty scattered five hits and a walk while striking out five on 80 pitches. The 25-year-old has lowered his ERA to a sharp 2.00 through two starts. His current 10:1 K:BB ratio highlights improved command from his 10.5% walk rate last season. Sheehan is rostered in just 34% of Yahoo leagues and makes for a strong speculative add, given the run support and win potential the Dodgers' offense offers. Fantasy managers seeking second-half pitching depth should take a serious look at Sheehan as a valuable upside play. Sheehan's next start will be on the road Sunday against the San Francisco Giants.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have promoted right-handed pitcher Emmet Sheehan before his start on Sunday afternoon against the Houston Astros. Sheehan made one start in the majors this season and allowed one run across four innings of work. During this start, he struck out six batters and allowed just three hits. Through 17 2/3 innings at Triple-A this season, Sheehan has flashed elite strikeout upside, tallying 31 while posting a strong 4.58 ERA with a 1.02 WHIP. Sheehan made his MLB debut in 2023 but was shut down during the 2024 campaign, recovering from a hybrid Tommy John operation. In 2023, Sheehan held a 4.92 ERA with 64 strikeouts across his first 60 1/3 MLB innings. Fantasy managers should view Sheehan as a top waiver wire option this weekend, given his high strikeout potential.

Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Emmet Sheehan may be in line for a big-league start on Sunday, according to Bill Plunkett of the Orange County Register. Plunkett previously reported on June 28 that Sheehan's next start would be for Triple-A Oklahoma City, so this would be a change of plans for the team. Sheehan has made one appearance for the Dodgers this year, throwing four innings against the San Diego Padres on June 18 and allowing one run while recording six strikeouts. The 25-year-old has spent most of 2025 in the minors as he works his way back from the Tommy John surgery he underwent in May of 2024. His 4.58 ERA in 17 2/3 (five starts) at Triple-A is middling, but the underlying numbers are far more promising. Sheehan has struck out 42.5% of the batters he's faced and holds a ridiculous 39.7% K-BB%. He could be a very interesting pickup in fantasy should he secure a rotation spot with the Dodgers.

Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Emmet Sheehan's next start won't be with the Dodgers, rather, he will get another turn at Triple-A Oklahoma City, according to manager Dave Roberts. Sheehan dazzled in his last start for Oklahoma City, tossing six perfect innings without allowing a hit or a walk while striking out 13 of the 18 batters he faced. The 25-year-old also made one start for Los Angeles earlier this month, in which he also looked good, striking out six batters compared to just one walk in four innings of work. The 6-foot-5 hurler could rejoin the big league club after his next start, although with Tyler Glasnow potentially returning in two weeks, it could leave Sheehan in a relief role unless the team were to go to a six-man rotation. Fantasy managers in need of pitching that also have an available bench or NA spot may want to consider stashing him and see how it shakes out.

Los Angeles Dodgers pitching prospect Emmet Sheehan didn't allow a baserunner in six perfect innings while striking out 13 in Wednesday's 16-0 win against Triple-A Sacramento. Sheehan picked up the win in dominant fashion, with a ridiculous 21 swinging strikes on 42 swings. The four-seamer sat at a season high 97.3 MPH in the outing and overpowered opposing hitters, accounting for 15 of the 21 whiffs. The 25-year-old right-hander did well in his return to the majors on June 18 with four scoreless innings and six strikeouts. He continues to build up his pitch count as he reached 73 in this outing. The Dodgers rotation has more healthy arms than rotation spots at the moment, but that can always change and with Sheehan's strikeout upside, he'd be worth an add in most formats.

The Los Angeles Dodgers announced on Thursday that they optioned right-hander Emmet Sheehan to Triple-A Oklahoma City and selected the contract of right-hander Jack Little from the minors in a corresponding move. The team also transferred right-hander Tony Gonsolin (elbow) to the 60-day injured list. Sheehan made his 2025 season debut in Wednesday night's walk-off win over the division-rival San Diego Padres and looked sharp, allowing just one earned run on three hits while walking none and striking out six in four innings in a no-decision. The 25-year-old former sixth-rounder will serve as rotation depth for now in the minors, but another spot start could be coming sooner than later with Tyler Glasnow, Blake Snell, Roki Sasaki and Gonsolin all on the IL. Sheehan had an ERA just south of 5.00 but struck out 64 in 60 1/3 innings in his rookie season in L.A. in 2023.
