Eric Skoglund News
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.
