Jack Flaherty News
St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Jack Flaherty (oblique) is expected to be out through at least the All-Star break, but there is no set timetable for his return, according to Jon Heyman of MLB Network. Flaherty exited his last start on May 31 with an oblique injury after five innings of work, and was placed on the 10-day injured list the following day. This is disappointing news for managers who have Flaherty rostered, as he was in the midst of a very nice season in which he was 8-1 with a 2.90 ERA and 67 strikeouts in 62 innings of work. Managers should continue to stash him on their IL, but they should start looking for a longer-term replacement while Flaherty is out.
St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Jack Flaherty (oblique) was placed on the 10-day injured list. The 25-year-old left Monday's start against the Dodgers after only five innings of work with tightness in his left side. Skipper Mike Shildt described the ailment as "significant," which would appear to indicate that his absence will likely extend well beyond his current designation. Flaherty is having a terrific season, sporting an 8-1 record to go along with 67 strikeouts and a 2.90 ERA, so this news is rather unfortunate for fantasy managers.
St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Jack Flaherty (side) was forced to leave his start on Monday due to tightness in his left side. Flaherty hurt himself while batting in the top of the sixth inning and was unable to come back for the bottom of the inning. Before being forced to leave, he'd pitched five innings, allowing two runs on two hits (both solo home runs) while walking one and striking out nine. If Flaherty is dealing with an oblique injury, he will almost certainly require a trip to the injured list, but more details will likely not be available until some time on Tuesday.

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.
