Iván Nova Stats

Free-agent starting pitcher Ivan Nova is signing a deal with the Colorado Rockies on Monday, according to Robert Murray of FanSided. Nova did not look great in four starts with the Tigers in 2020, going 1-1 with an 8.53 ERA and 10.2 percent strikeout rate. He didn't look any better in spring training this year, where he posted a 7.30 ERA with a 10.3 percent strikeout rate in 12 1/3 innings with the Phillies. In all likelihood, Nova won't have any fantasy value this year, but he has managed to put together solid starts every now and then, making him a potential matchup-dependent streaming option in deeper formats if he makes starts for the team.

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Ivan Nova allowed five runs while only recording one out in his Grapefruit League debut on Sunday. Nova allowed a home run on his first pitch of the game and things went downhill from there as the veteran couldn't escape the first inning. The Phillies inked Nova to a minor league deal in January and he'll compete with Vince Velasquez, Matt Moore, and Chase Anderson for a spot in the rotation. Nova posted a SIERA over five in his last full season and has just a 16.8 career strikeout rate so fantasy managers shouldn't be drafting Nova.

Detroit Tigers right-handed pitcher Ivan Nova has been placed on the 10-day injured list due to right triceps tendinitis, thereby freeing up a spot in the clubs starting rotation. Nova has been hit hard across his first four starts of 2020, amassing an 8.48 ERA and 1.63 WHIP. He has held very little fantasy intrigue, but his absence creates a ton; with a Pipeline chock full of talented and exciting arms, the Tigers are running out of reasons to not call up at least one of their top prospects. Casey Mize, the No. 1 overall pick in 2018, tops the list as a possibility, but owners will want to check back to see who takes Novas spot, at least in the short-term.
