Josh Lindblom Fantasy Stats

Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Josh Lindblom (knee) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. This isn't good news for the team as they also announced that veteran lefty Brett Anderson (hamstring) would be joining him. The 33-year-old was having a rough go during the 2021 campaign, sporting a miserable 10.97 ERA. After a rocky spring and an equally unimpressive five games this season, it is safe for fantasy managers to keep the righty off the radar until he begins to play well as a member of the starting rotation.

Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Josh Lindblom will begin the season in the bullpen. He was competing for a spot in the rotation, but instead, Freddy Peralta has won the final starting job. The 33-year-old was just mediocre in the spring with a 4.66 ERA thus far in the Cactus League. Lindblom can safely be ignored in mixed leagues and doesn't have much value even in NL-only formats.

Milwaukee Brewers right-handed pitcher Josh Lindblom will not make his upcoming start, as the team has opted to skip his turn through the rotation. With two off-days planned over the upcoming week, Milwaukee will look elsewhere for outs after Lindblom has compiled a 6.46 ERA through his first seven starts. Despite the shaky outings, Lindblom has managed to produce an elite spin rate on his fastball, which has allowed him to rack up 11.7 K/9, which would far and away be a new career best. When he returns to the rotation is unclear, but his strikeout upside gives him considerable DFS appeal no matter the opponent.

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Josh Lindblom (1-3) allowed four earned runs on six hits and three walks while striking out four across five innings to take the loss Tuesday against the Tigers. Lindblom got through the first two innings without issue but fell apart from there. This outing marked the third time in his last five starts that Lindblom has allowed more than three earned runs, none of which lasted more than five innings. For the season, Lindblom now has a 6.46 ERA with a 40:15 K:BB across 30 2/3 frames. He'll look to get on track in his next start, currently projected to come Tuesday in a rematch at Detroit. He's not a trustworthy option right now in any fantasy format.

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Josh Lindblom (1-1) took the loss Saturday at Pittsburgh after giving up three runs on six hits with four strikeouts and one walk over four innings. The right-hander gave up three extra-base hits Saturday, including a two-run, 434-foot blast to Gregory Polanco during his final frame. Lindblom has a 6.65 ERA, 1.57 WHIP, and 34:11 K:BB through 21 2/3 innings and will look to turn things around Thursday against the Reds. The strikeouts are the lone bright spot for Lindblom so far but he's far from useable in most fantasy formats until he can bring down that ERA.

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Josh Lindblom allowed five earned runs on three hits and four walks while striking out eight across five innings Sunday against the Cubs. He did not factor into the decision. Lindblom struggled early in his start as he allowed three runs in the first frame but settled in to allow only a walk and a base hit across his next four innings. Lindblom still showed his strikeout ability as he generated 19 swinging strikes on 90 total pitches. For the season, Lindblom has a 6.62 ERA across 17 2/3 innings but has racked up 28 punchouts in the process. He'll look to harness his control in his next outing, currently projected to come Saturday at Pittsburgh.

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Josh Lindblom didn't factor into the decision in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Twins, giving up four runs on seven hits and two walks over four innings. He struck out eight batters. The eight strikeouts were a season-high for the right-hander, but Lindblom was on the hook for his first loss of the year until the Brewers staged a comeback in the later innings. His return to MLB after a two-year stint in the KBO has been a mixed bag so far -- Lindblom's 35.7 percent strikeout rate is outstanding, but it comes with a 5.68 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 5.39 FIP. The 33-year-old will look to rebound in his next outing Sunday, on the road against the Cubs. As long as the strikeouts keep coming, he's worthy of a look in deeper-mixed leagues.

Milwaukee Brewers right-handed pitcher Josh Lindblom left his first start of 2020 due to back spasms, but after throwing a bullpen session Tuesday, Lindblom was confident that there would be no issues for his Thursday start against the White Sox. Set to make multiple starts in a season for the first time since 2013, Lindblom has the opportunity to hold down a rotation spot with Milwaukee should he continue to display the strikeout potential that he had in his first start, which delivered five punchouts in 3 innings. If early returns are any indication, Lindblom has been successful at avoiding hard contact, having allowed an average exit velocity of 81.9 MPH against Pittsburgh; hell have a much stouter matchup against the slugging White Sox, who enter Wednesday leading the Majors with a .284 team batting average.

Milwaukee Brewers right-handed pitcher Josh Lindblom left Tuesdays start against the Pittsburgh Pirates due to back spasms, but he is still expected to make his next start, which could come Monday at home against the Chicago White Sox. Lindblom lasted just 3.2 innings in his first Major League start since 2014, compiling five strikeouts while allowing two runs on three hits and three walks. Milwaukees rotation will give opportunities as the 2020 year goes on, making Lindblom an appealing upside play, especially if he is gifted a two-start week.

Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Josh Lindblom was removed from Tuesday's start against the Pirates after experiencing back cramps. The right-hander allowed two runs on three hits and three walks while recording five strikeouts over 3 2/3 innings before leaving with the back cramps. Overall, it appears to be a positive development for Lindblom, rather than him dealing with a more serious back issue. The 33-year-old could end up missing his next start, depending on how he feels over the next couple days, but he's unlikely to face an extended absence.
