Eric Skoglund Fantasy Stats

Kansas City Royals pitcher Eric Skoglund (arm) hasn't seen any action since Feb. 21, and manager Mike Matheny told reporters that Skoglund is still dealing with some arm tenderness. There is no timeline at this point, but obviously pitchers with arm issues are not something fantasy owners should be chasing. Skoglund was limited to just six major league appearances in 2019, and he hasn't shown that he should be owned in the vast majority of leagues anyway. Skoglund's best season was in 2018 when he posted a 5.14 ERA and only struck out 6.30 batters per nine innings.

Kansas City Royals pitcher Eric Skoglund's stay in the rotation was a short one. After just two starts, Skoglund is being sent to the bullpen to make way for Jorge Lopez. Skoglund's last start was a debacle as he allowed six earned runs in four innings while walking three and only striking out one, but Lopez also hasn't done anything promotion-worthy as of late. Manager Ned Yost told reporters that the team's pitching coach had some particular things to work on with Skoglund though, so it seems like the tinkering is better fit to a bullpen role. Skoglund only had value to the most desperate owners in the deepest leagues anyway, but his value is now completely tanked for everyone.

Kansas City Royals manager Ned Yost said that pitcher Eric Skoglund will make the start on Sunday against the Indians. Skoglund has yet to pitch in the big leagues in 2019 and was 1-6 with a 5.14 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and meager 6.3 K/9 in 70 innings (13 starts, one relief outing) last season. The left-hander sports an ugly 6.04 ERA and has allowed 12 homers in 73 innings (13 starts) in two minor league stops this year. You can safely avoid him as a streaming option against the Tribe this weekend.

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Eric Skoglund, who is serving an 80-game suspension for performance-enhancing drugs, allowed six hits and two runs in 5 2/3 innings for Double-A Northwest Arkansas in his first rehab start on Tuesday. The 26-year-old left-hander could become a rotation option for the Royals in the second half of the season. However, he can be ignored in all but the deepest of leagues after going 1-6 with a 5.14 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 6.3 K/9 in 13 starts and one relief outing over 70 innings in 2018 with KC.

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Eric Skoglund will make the start on Wednesday against the White Sox, according to manager Ned Yost. Skoglund hasn't made a start in the big leagues since May 25 and missed multiple months due to injury. The left-hander has a 1-5 record, 6.45 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 40 strikeouts in 51 2/3 innings on the year. We wouldn't recommend him as a streaming option, even in the nice matchup.

Kansas City Royals starting pitchers Eric Skoglund (shoulder) and Jesse Hahn (elbow) have both had their rehab assignments moved to Triple-A Omaha. Both pitchers could return in the next week or two but would be very weak streaming options limited to AL-only leagues if they're in the starting rotation. Skoglund has a 6.70 ERA, 1.39 WHIP, 7.1 K/9 and a whopping 10 homers allowed in 49 2/3 innings over nine starts. Hahn has yet to pitch in the big leagues this year. He'd probably be more attractive than Skoglund, but he also has a career 6.7 K/9 in the majors, so there's limited upside.

Kansas City Royals starting pitchers Jesse Hahn (elbow) and Eric Skoglund (elbow) will both begin their rehab assignments on Wednesday with the Rookie League Surprise Royals. Both pitchers are dealing ulnar collateral ligament damage in their elbows and are hoping to avoid Tommy John surgery. Neither pitcher misses many bats when healthy, though, and would be at best depth options in deep AL-only leagues if they join the KC rotation later this year.

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Eric Skoglund (elbow) got good news over Memorial Day weekend when he was informed that his UCL issue is just a Grade 1 strain, not a tear. That means he'll be able to avoid Tommy John surgery for now, though he still won't be back to active play anytime soon. This is a win for Skoglund and the Royals, even if he won't be seen for an extended period of time.

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Eric Skoglund (elbow) has a Grade 1 UCL strain with some fluid around the nerve. The left-handed pitcher will avoid surgery, but his timetable is not known at this point. Skoglund was struggling in 2018 with a 6.70 ERA in 49 2/3 innings. It is likely that owners had already moved on from Skoglund in redraft leagues, but if not, then this news should confirm that now is the time to move on. Skoglund has now struggled in both stints in the majors, and deep dynasty league owners should be questioning if the lefty is worth holding onto.

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Eric Skoglund is headed to the disabled list with a sprained UCL in his throwing arm. Skoglund has not been good this season, and he recently took the loss against the Rangers on Friday night. Per Maria Torres of the KC Star, Skoglund was visibly shaken and frustrated after the game, and manager Ned Yost told reporters that it's been bothering him for a while. UCL sprains are often associated with Tommy John surgery, though no announcement has been made. The team recalled reliever Eric Stout.
