Jordan Lyles Stats

Baltimore Orioles right-hander Jordan Lyles (illness) will start on Tuesday against the Washington Nationals. Lyles was scratched from his scheduled outing on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Rays due to a stomach virus, but he'll toe the rubber on Tuesday. The 31-year-old has been mediocre from a fantasy perspective with Baltimore this year, going 4-5 with a 5.10 ERA, 1.52 WHIP, 62 strikeouts and 24 walks in 72 1/3 innings over his 13 starts, but his matchup against Washington is certainly more attractive than it would've been on Sunday against the Rays.

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Jordan Lyles was scratched from his spring outing on Friday due to a stomach bug that is going around the clubhouse, according to manager Brandon Hyde. The Orioles are hoping Lyles can get into a game within the next couple of days. Chris Ellis will get the nod in the Grapefruit League game on Friday instead. The 31-year-old right-hander was pretty bad in his last two seasons with the Texas Rangers, and he had a 5.15 ERA and 1.39 WHIP while striking out 146 and walking 56 in 180 innings over 32 outings (30 starts) in 2021. Given Baltimore's lack of starting options, Lyles will be guaranteed a rotation spot this year, but fantasy managers in mixed leagues can do much better.

The Baltimore Orioles have officially signed pitcher Jordan Lyles to a one-year deal worth $5.5 million. The two sides had reportedly agreed to the deal before the lockout began, but it didn't become official until just now. A physical had been pending and it was postponed due to the lockout. The 31-year-old Lyles spent each of the last two years with the Rangers and they were ugly ones. Last year, over 32 appearances (30 starts), he went 10-13 with a 5.15 ERA and a 1.39 WHIP. It was an improvement over his 7.02 ERA and 1.56 WHIP in 2020. The Orioles desperately needed rotation help and Lyles should slot in as the team's second or third starter.
