Jack Flaherty News
St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Jack Flaherty will be available out of the bullpen for Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. The 25-year-old right-hander made his return from the injured list on Friday and struggled in his first trip back to the mound. He was tagged for two hits, one walk and two earned runs over 1/3 of an inning. Flaherty had been sidelined for most of the second half of the year with a right shoulder strain and the injury is likely still bothering him to some degree. Over 15 starts on the season, he's gone 9-2 with a 3.30 ERA and a 1.06 WHIP.
St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Jack Flaherty (shoulder) has been named the team's starter for Game 2 of Friday's doubleheader against the Chicago Cubs. He will be on a pitch count for the game. Cardinals manager Mike Shildt told reporters on Wednesday that it "wouldn't be unfair to describe him as an opener." Flaherty has been out for about a month due to a right shoulder strain. He threw 15 pitches in batting practice on Tuesday and the speculation is that he won't throw many more pitches than that on Friday. Fantasy managers may want to add him and stash him on the bench. He isn't a very enticing option to insert into fantasy lineups on Friday as he likely won't pitch enough to deliver value.
St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Jack Flaherty (shoulder) threw to hitters on Tuesday, Derrick S. Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported. This was the first time Flaherty threw with batters since being sidelined on August 24 with a right shoulder strain. The 25-year-old right-hander has a 9-2 record on the season with a 3.03 ERA and 81:24 strikeout-to-walk ratio. St. Louis will likely bring Flaherty back into the mix slowly due to the injury, so fantasy managers should stash him until he can log serious innings.

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Jack Flaherty dealt with a tumultuous season in 2020 which has not resulted in any sort of discount. In addition to the issues across MLB, the Cardinals also dealt with a lengthy drought of playing time during the season which had to affect Flaherty's endurance and pitching routine. When Flaherty was on the mound, he wasn't as good as the second half of 2019, but he was definitely better than the first half. He finished with a 4.91 ERA and 49 strikeouts across 40 innings, utilizing his standard three-pitch mix (four-seamer, slider, and curveball). There are signs of a return to success in 2021 highlighted by a 3.42 xFIP, 14.3% Swinging Strike, and 31.4% Hard Hit rates. Additionally, Flaherty maintained his velocity (94 mph) despite the hiccups of his start frequency and usage. Expect to see a regression to norm from his four-seam Chase rate (16%) as well as a correction in his three-year lows in LOB (68.8%) and BABIP (.281). If there was a slight concern it would be the potential of free agent Yadier Molina not returning to the team. Flaherty currently has an ADP of 26, down only three spots from 2020. Even with success similar to 2019, this draft slot might only be appropriate in leagues that have an increased valuation of starting pitchers.
