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 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.
