Jesús Luzardo Fantasy Stats

Philadelphia Phillies left-hander Jesus Luzardo was dominant on the mound on Monday in the team's 1-0 shutout victory over the division-rival Atlanta Braves at Citizens Bank Park. Luzardo was at his best, tossing a complete-game shutout with only two hits allowed, one walk, and 12 strikeouts to win his 14th game of the season. It was the 28-year-old's first career shutout and complete game, so it was a special day as he continues to roll late in the 2026 season. In his last seven starts, Luzardo has gone at least 5 2/3 innings with two runs or fewer to lower his season ERA to 2.87 while also sporting a nice 1.08 WHIP and 221:52 K:BB in his 178 2/3 innings pitched on the season in his first year in Philadelphia. Luzardo has now reached the 200-strikeout mark in back-to-back seasons and three of his last four campaigns. He is a first-time All-Star this year and could be a difference-maker down the stretch as fantasy managers seek championships.

Philadelphia Phillies left-hander Jesus Luzardo is on a strong run, and that continued as he shut down the Cincinnati Reds on the road on Thursday in a 1-0 victory. Luzardo threw seven shutout innings, allowing just two hits, walking two, and striking out 11 to win his eighth game of the 2026 season. The 28-year-old southpaw from Peru has had some uneven performances this year for sure, but he has also allowed two or fewer runs in 13 of his 19 starts in his second year in Philly. He will take an 8-4 record, 3.52 ERA, and 136:35 K:BB in 110 1/3 innings into next week's All-Star break after posting his fourth start of the season with double-digit strikeouts. Since allowing five earned runs in six innings in a no-decision against the Chicago White Sox on June 5, Luzardo has given up only six earned runs while walking 14 and striking out 56 in 37 1/3 innings pitched in six starts versus the Reds, Toronto Blue Jays, Miami Marlins, Washington Nationals, New York Mets, and Kansas City Royals. He's rolling going into the break, and fantasy managers can only hope he keeps this form to begin the second half later this month.

Philadelphia Phillies left-hander Jesus Luzardo has been hit or miss for fantasy managers in 2026 with the Phillies, but he showed his upside in his outing on Tuesday against the division-rival Washington Nationals on the road in the team's 14-9 victory. Luzardo allowed five earned runs on six hits while walking three and striking out a career-high 13 batters in 6 2/3 innings for a no-decision. Most of the damage the 28-year-old southpaw absorbed on the night came during a four-run fourth inning at Nationals Ballpark. Despite allowing five earned runs, Luzardo generated 19 swings and misses on his 104 pitches. He's now 6-4 on the year with a 4.39 ERA (3.13 FIP) and 1.31 WHIP with 110 strikeouts and 30 walks in 92 1/3 innings across 16 starts. The month of June has been very indicative of Luzardo's inconsistent season, as he allowed three earned runs with 17 strikeouts in his previous two outings, but he gave up another five earned runs with just two K's in six innings to begin the month on June 5 against the Chicago White Sox. Fantasy managers should consider Luzardo a must-start in his upcoming matchup against the division-rival New York Mets, his first meeting with them in 2026.

After a three-start stretch where he didn't allow more than two earned runs, Philadelphia Phillies left-hander Jesus Luzardo fell apart again in his latest outing on Friday against the Colorado Rockies, allowing six earned runs on six hits (one homer) while walking three and striking out six in a season-low three innings of work. The 28-year-old southpaw is now 3-3 on the year with a bloated 5.98 ERA (2.96 FIP) and 1.39 WHIP with 57 strikeouts and 12 walks in 43 2/3 innings over his eight starts for Philly. He has failed to go five innings in three of his eight starts and has allowed five-plus runs in four of his outings so far. At this point, fantasy managers may not know what to do with him. Opponents are currently hitting .278 against him, but Luzardo holds an expected average of just .236, while the difference in his wOBA (.334) and xwOBA (.286) also shows that he's been hit with some pretty bad luck early on. Luzardo also ranks in the 91st percentile in strikeout rate and 82nd percentile in walk rate. He's a prime buy-low candidate, and he could easily dominate his next time out against the struggling Boston Red Sox.

Philadelphia Phillies left-hander Jesus Luzardo had a start to forget on Wednesday night in the team's 11-2 loss to the Chicago Cubs at Citizens Bank Park. Luzardo lost his third game of the year, surrendering nine runs (eight earned) on 12 hits (one homer) while walking one and striking out four in 5 1/3 innings of work. He allowed six earned runs in six innings in his first start of the year on March 29 against the Texas Rangers, and he also gave up five earned runs in 4 2/3 frames in his last start versus the Arizona Diamondbacks on April 10. The 28-year-old southpaw now has an ugly 7.94 ERA (2.89 FIP) and 1.45 WHIP with 30 strikeouts and only five walks in 22 2/3 innings over his four starts in 2026. Luzardo has allowed a league-high 20 earned runs, but with a 2.89 FIP, it looks like he's dealt with some bad luck early on. Fantasy managers might want to consider benching him in a rematch with the Cubs next week at Wrigley Field, but they shouldn't panic just yet with Luzardo.

Philadelphia Phillies left-hander Jesus Luzardo was dominant on Saturday in his first win of the 2026 season against the Colorado Rockies, allowing just one earned run on five hits while walking none and striking out 11 in 6 2/3 innings of work at Coors Field in Denver. It was a nice bounce-back outing early on for the 28-year-old southpaw, as he was greeted harshly in his season debut last week by the Texas Rangers, allowing six runs in six innings. Fantasy managers should have had Luzardo in their starting lineups on Saturday against the Rockies despite his rough opening start. In his dominant outing, he generated 23 swinging strikes. The former third-round pick by the Washington Nationals in 2016 is a high-upside strikeout arm on one of the best teams in baseball, giving him plenty of fantasy appeal in his third year in Philly. Fantasy managers will want to keep him active in his next scheduled outing against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Left-hander Jesus Luzardo and the Philadelphia Phillies agreed to a five-year, $135 million contract extension on Monday, sources told Jeff Passan of ESPN. The 28-year-old southpaw was set to become a free agent after the 2026 season. His new deal will begin in 2027 and will help the Phillies lock up one of the best young arms in the game. The 28-year-old Luzardo also will have a $32.5 million option for the 2032 season. On one of the better teams in baseball, Luzardo ranks No. 17 on RotoBaller's fantasy starting pitcher rankings after he went 15-7 with a 3.92 ERA (2.90 FIP), 1.22 WHIP, and 216:57 K:BB in 183 2/3 innings over 32 starts. It was the second time he's reached the 200-strikeout mark in the last three years, and he finished seventh in the National League Cy Young voting. He's not quite ace material in fantasy, but he's not far behind because of his strikeout upside.

Philadelphia Phillies left-handed starting pitcher Jesus Luzardo has yet to begin discussions for a contract extension with the club. However, Charlotte Varnes of The Athletic reported that the team could look ot start preliminary discussions once spring training begins. Team president Dave Dombrowski has expressed interest in the southpaw, and both sides could look to discuss it before the regular season begins. Earlier this offseason, both sides agreed to an $11 million contract to avoid arbitration. Luzardo made his Phillies debut in 2025 and performed quite well, tossing a career-high 183 2/3 innings and posting a 3.92 ERA with a 1.22 WHIP. He struck out 216 hitters and generated a strong 3.33 xERA. Lucardo projects to remain the team's No. 2 pitcher, behind Cristopher Sanchez, while Zack Wheeler (shoulder) works his way back from injury. Given his high strikeout upside, Luzardo holds mid-end SP2 upside in all formats.

According to Ari Alexander of 7News, the Philadelphia Phillies have agreed to a one-year, $11 million contract with left-handed starting pitcher Jesus Luzardo. Luzardo enjoyed an impressive debut season in Philadelphia after spending the first six of his MLB seasons in Oakland and Miami. With the Phillies, Luzardo made a high 32 stats and posted a 3.92 ERA with a 1.22 WHIP. Through 183 2/3 innings of work, Luzardo struck out 216 batters, which marked a career high. However, the 28-year-old generated an above-average 3.36 xERA with a .230 xBA, suggesting his production could take another step forward in 2026. Managers should expect Luzardo to open the season as a key part of the starting rotation with Zack Wheeler's status in doubt and carry high-end SP3 upside.

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Jesus Luzardo has been named the starting pitcher for Game 2 of the NLDS. After a 5-3 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday, the Phillies will need Luzardo to get them a big win on Monday. This season, Luzardo registered a 3.92 ERA, 1.22 WHIP, and a 216/57 K/BB ratio across 32 starts. There have certainly been some blowups for Luzardo, but he has mostly been solid. His latest outing he threw seven shutout innings with 10 strikeouts on September 24. The high strikeout numbers give him good DFS value for Monday's slate.
