Jack Flaherty News
St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Jack Flaherty has had a tough go of it this season, missing most of the year with injuries, but he managed to pick up his first win of the season on Thursday against the San Diego Padres. Flaherty allowed three runs (two earned) on four hits and four walks with nine strikeouts in six innings. While fantasy managers are likely not counting on Flaherty down the stretch, he has a track record of being a high-end starting pitcher, and a strong finish would do much to inspire confidence heading into 2023.
St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Jack Flaherty turned in an encouraging outing in his return from the injured list on Monday. The right-hander scattered six hits, a walk, and an earned run in five innings against the Washington Nationals. Flaherty threw 91 pitches against Washington, struck out six batters, and logged 14 swinging strikes. While he wasn't able to come away with a win as the Cardinals were shut out, the 26-year-old did turn in a quality 31% CSW rate. The former first-round pick has given up six earned runs and 10 walks in 13 Major League innings this year, while striking out 12 batters.
The St. Louis Cardinals activated starting pitcher Jack Flaherty (shoulder) from the 60-day injured list on Monday. Flaherty has made three starts in the Majors this season, allowing nine walks, eight hits, five earned runs, and a home run in eight innings while registering six strikeouts. He previously made 17 appearances for the Cardinals in 2021, 15 of which were starts. In those 17 appearances, Flaherty pitched to a 3.22 ERA, a 4.22 FIP, 85 strikeouts, and 26 walks in 78.1 innings. St. Louis optioned fellow starter Dakota Hudson to Triple-A to make room on the active roster for the 26-year-old. St. Louis also designated pitcher Junior Fernandez for assignment.

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Jack Flaherty is coming off a miserable 2022 in which his injury woes continued to hamper him. He threw only 36 innings, going 2-1 with a 4.25 ERA, 1.61 WHIP, and 33 strikeouts. He walked too many batters (13.2%) while striking out a career-low 19.8%. His advanced numbers didn't look any better, with a 4.94 xERA and 4.97 FIP. Flaherty simply hasn't been the same pitcher since the shortened 2020 season, and multiple injuries since then haven't helped him either. All that being said, we all know the potential Flaherty possesses. If he can get healthy and pitch anywhere close to that level, he could be a terrific value at his 227.4 ADP. That is certainly a big if considering he hasn't come anywhere close to that level since, but a slightly positive sign is that he finished 2022 strong, posting two quality starts in which he struck out 15 batters in 12 innings. It's a small sample, but it's a glimmer of hope that he can be a productive pitcher again. Don't expect much from him, but he has upside and his ADP makes him a near-zero risk option.
