Jarred Cosart Fantasy Stats

San Diego pitcher Jarred Cosart has been ruled out for the rest of 2017 after undergoing arthroscopic elbow surgery this week. Cosart should be ready for the start of 2018, but it's unclear whether he will be retained by the Padres. He posted a 4.88 ERA in seven appearances (six starts) this year after pitching to a 6.03 ERA in nine starts with the team last year. Cosart's career has been plagued by injury and inconsistency, making him essentially a non-factor in fantasy leagues.

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Jarred Cosart will head to the disabled list with a right elbow strain Tuesday. San Diego will need a starter for Saturday against the Royals, and the Padres are leaning toward letting pitcher Miguel Diaz make his first career start on Saturday in Cosart's spot. Cosart owns an ugly 1.87 WHIP after issuing 19 free passes in 24 total innings. Although he hasn't been hit particularly hard in any of his starts, Cosart has only made it through five innings in one of his six starts. He is nothing more than a punt play for daily leagues at the moment, and this injury should not be too detrimental to fantasy owners. Diaz is an extremely risky option.

San Diego Padres starter Jarred Cosart couldn't so much as record an out in the fifth inning before being pulled on Sunday. The Rockies put up three runs on six hits against Cosart, dropping his record to 0-2. Cosart owns an ugly 1.87 WHIP after issuing 19 free passes in 24 total innings. Although he hasn't been hit particularly hard in any of his starts, Cosart has only made it through five innings in one of his six starts.

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Jarred Cosart took a line drive off his right ankle in the first inning of Wednesday night's game against the Mets. He stayed in the game until the third inning when he felt it tighten up. X-rays came back negative, so he is considered day-to-day and could make his next start on time. Cosart ultimately allowed four runs in 2 2/3 innings with four walks and just one strikeout. The Padres will need Cosart to stay healthy, as they are already injury-riddled in the rotation. He had been serviceable as a spot starter, but a 4.50 ERA and 1.75 WHIP are nothing to write home about.

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Jarred Cosart took Trevor Cahill's spot in the Padres' rotation and will start tomorrow against the Brewers. Cahill was put on the disabled list with a shoulder strain earlier in the day, and Cosart was recalled from Triple-A El Paso this past weekend. Cosart has a 3.24 ERA with an ugly 1.68 WHIP in 8 1/3 innings this season and had a hamstring issue that hampered him at the beginning of the season. He had a 6.00 ERA in 57 innings last season and is not worthy of a fantasy add.

San Diego Padres pitcher Jarred Cosart rejoined the Padres Sunday and reliever Kevin Quackenbush was sent back to Triple-A. Cosart will initially be used in long relief but could be in line to start again soon. He has bounced back and forth from the disabled list over the past couple of years, with his latest injury being a strained hamstring. Cosart has a 3.24 ERA with an ugly 1.68 WHIP in 8 1/3 innings this season. He is merely someone to monitor in NL-only leagues.
