The St. Louis Cardinals will be transferring starting pitcher Jack Flaherty (shoulder) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day injured list, according to Cardinals beat writer Katie Woo. The move is being made to make room on the 40-man roster for infield prospect Nolan Gorman, who is being called up for his big league debut on Friday. Woo emphasized that Flaherty's move to the 60-day injured list doesn't impact his timeline. He remains on the same schedule he has been on. Flaherty has been throwing bullpen sessions, but he still needs to progress to simulated games and then a rehab assignment. We're likely looking at a mid-June debut for him with the Cardinals at the earliest.
St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Jack Flaherty (shoulder) threw a bullpen session of around 30 pitches at Oracle Park in San Francisco on Saturday, and he continues to make steady progress in his rehab process from right shoulder inflammation. Manager Oliver Marmol said there is still a "lengthy progression" of steps before Flaherty can go on a rehab assignment. The team will likely have him throw another bullpen in St. Louis on Tuesday or Wednesday. The 26-year-old right-hander will most likely need multiple simulated games and/or minor league rehab outings, so fantasy managers shouldn't realistically expect him to return to the Cardinals starting rotation until early June.
St. Louis Cardinals right-hander Jack Flaherty (shoulder) will throw his first bullpen session on Saturday. Flaherty was shut down in March with discomfort in his throwing shoulder and received a platelet-rich plasma injection shortly thereafter. The 26-year-old will be permitted to throw all of his pitches during the bullpen session, giving hope that he could be closer to going on a rehab assignment than expected, although his timeline for a return to the field is still unclear. Flaherty was excellent in 2021, posting a 9-2 record, 3.22 ERA, 1.06 WHIP, and 85 strikeouts across 78 1/3 innings of work.

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.
