Konnor Pilkington Fantasy Stats

Free-agent pitcher Konnor Pilkington has agreed to a minor-league contract with the Detroit Tigers that includes an invitation to spring training. Pilkington came up with Cleveland in 2022 and 2023, and he made 11 starts in 2022, posting a 3.88 ERA and 4.49 FIP across 58 innings in 15 games. He spent 2025 in the Nationals' system and returned to the majors for 32 games in the second half of the season. He had an unremarkable 4.45 ERA and 5.96 FIP, while totaling 34 strikeouts in 28 1/3 innings. This offseason, he was designated for assignment and chose free agency after passing through waivers unclaimed. Pilkington could push his way into consideration for a roster spot with a strong spring, but it's more likely that he starts the season at Triple-A and is called up when the team needs depth mid-season.
