Landon Knack Fantasy Stats

The Los Angeles Dodgers announced on Friday that they optioned right-hander Landon Knack to Triple-A Oklahoma City and recalled left-hander Justin Wrobleski in a corresponding move. Knack will head back to the minors after allowing four earned runs on four hits (three homers) while walking five and striking out only one in 3 1/3 innings in a no-decision in the win over the New York Mets on Wednesday. The 27-year-old has gone 3-2 this year with the Dodgers with a 5.12 ERA (6.18 FIP) and 1.47 WHIP with 35 strikeouts and 18 walks in 38 2/3 innings over nine appearances (seven starts). Home runs have been an issue for Knack, as he allowed 14 in just 69 innings last year, and he's already allowed 10 this year in just 38 2/3 frames. If/when Knack returns to the big-league level, it may not be in a starting role, depending on the health of L.A.'s rotation.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Landon Knack is the front-runner to be the Dodgers' fifth starter, according to manager Dave Roberts. Despite posting a 5.89 ERA and 1.53 WHIP this season, he will get the opportunity to stick in the rotation with Roki Sasaki landing on the injured list. His one good start of the season came on May 7 when he threw five shutout innings against the Marlins, and he'll look to find that level of success again in his next start, which will likely be against the Diamondbacks.

Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Landon Knack will make another start for the Blue on Tuesday against the visiting Athletics. Knack will stick around in L.A.'s sixth-man starting rotation for the time being after he picked up his second win of the season against the Miami Marlins on May 7 by tossing five shutout innings with one walk and a season-high five strikeouts. If the 27-year-old pitches well again against the A's at Dodger Stadium on Tuesday, he could stay in the Dodgers' rotation until one of Blake Snell (shoulder) or Tyler Glasnow (shoulder) are able to return from the injured list. The former second-rounder in 2020 out of East Tennessee State is currently 2-0 on the season with a 4.61 ERA and 1.46 WHIP with 12 strikeouts and seven walks in 13 2/3 innings over his four outings (three starts). You could certainly find worse streaming options than Knack in fantasy.

Los Angeles Dodgers right-handed pitcher Landon Knack has joined the team in Miami. Currently, the Dodgers do not have a listed starter for Wednesday's contest, which could open the door for Knack to get the spot-start. The 27-year-old has logged eight 2/3 innings of work this season for the Dodgers. He has appeared in three games and started two. Through this stint, he has held a 7.27 ERA with a 1.73 WHIP. Last summer, Knack made his MLB debut and performed well, holding a 3.65 ERA with a 1.10 WHIP. He struck out 69 batters in 69 innings while posting a strong 6.3 percent walk rate. At Triple-A this season, Knack has held a similar 3.98 ERA across 20 1/3 innings. If he does get the starting nod, he is best to fade in DFS competitions as he has only exceeded three innings of work in one appearance this season.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have optioned right-handed pitcher Landon Knack to Triple-A Oklahoma City. In a corresponding move, the Dodgers have promoted right-handed pitcher Bobby Miller to the major leagues. Knack has made three appearances for the Dodgers this season (two starts) and logged eight 2/3 innings to the tune of a 7.27 ERA and a 1.73 WHIP. During this brief stint, Knack has struck out seven batters and served up six free passes. Fantasy managers should expect Knack to be in the mix to return to the majors later in the summer when the Dodgers need additional depth in the majors. Last summer, Knack was effective in his MLB debut, tossing 69 innings with a 3.65 ERA and a 1.10 WHIP. Knack is not worth rostering in any formats while he is with Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Landon Knack posted an ugly outing on the mound during Wednesday's game against the Washington Nationals. The right-hander lasted only 2 1/3 innings, allowing five earned runs, and walking four batters in a no-decision. Knack was really struggling in this one, but the Dodgers aren't ready to give up on him yet. In fact, Dodgers' manager Dave Roberts said that Knack will make another start this weekend against the Colorado Rockies. This will be a favorable bounce back opportunity for Knack, but fantasy managers should still be hesitant after this rough outing.

Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Landon Knack will be recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City to make the start on Wednesday against the Washington Nationals at Nationals Park, according to manager Dave Roberts. The Dodgers are moving to a six-man starting rotation with lefty Blake Snell (shoulder) on the injured list, meaning that both Knack and lefty Justin Wrobleski, who is starting Tuesday's game, should see multiple starts to close out the season's first month. The 27-year-old Knack makes for an interesting DFS and deep-league streamer immediately this week. He tossed two scoreless innings in relief in Tokyo, Japan, against the Chicago Cubs in mid-March and was impressive in his rookie year in 2024, posting a 3.65 ERA, a 1.10 WHIP, one save, 69 strikeouts and 18 walks in 69 innings pitched. The former second-rounder has allowed two earned runs with five K's in 4 2/3 relief innings at Oklahoma City this year.

The Athletic's Fabian Ardaya suggests that Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Landon Knack is with the team in D.C. and could be called upon to make a spot start on Wednesday against the hosting Washington Nationals. It will depend on how much the bullpen gets used in the coming days, according to manager Dave Roberts. It will set up right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto to pitch on Friday and rookie Roki Sasaki to go on Saturday at home versus the Chicago Cubs. It would be Knack's first start of the year and only his second appearance after he threw two scoreless innings in relief and grabbed a win in Tokyo, Japan, during the season-opening series against the Cubs. The 27-year-old held his own in his rookie year in 2024 with a 3.65 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and a 69:18 K:BB in 15 outings (12 starts) over 69 innings. Knack wouldn't be the worst deep-league streamer this week on the road against the Nats.

Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Ryan Brasier will serve as the opener for Game 2 of the National League Championship Series on Monday at Dodger Stadium against the New York Mets, with manager Dave Roberts saying he expects right-hander Landon Knack to take "most of the outs" as the bulk reliever. Brasier served as the opener in the Game 4 win over the division-rival San Diego Padres in the NL Division Series and threw 1 1/3 scoreless innings while striking out one. He also went 2 1/3 innings in a traditional relief role earlier in the series, allowing two earned runs on three hits while walking none and striking out one. Brasier obviously isn't a viable DFS play as an opener in Game 2. Knack pitched the final inning of the Game 4 win over the Pads and threw a scoreless frame with a strikeout. The 27-year-old went 3-5 with a 3.65 ERA, 1.10 WHIP, 69 K's and 18 walks in 69 innings over his first 15 big-league outings (12 starts) during the regular season.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Landon Knack is set to be recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City to start Friday's game against the Cleveland Guardians. Knack is set to fill in for Clayton Kershaw (toe), who was placed on the 15-day IL on Saturday with a bone spur. Knack has held a solid 3.00 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, and a 12:44 BB:K ratio across 48 innings of work split between a starter and relief role in the majors this summer. At Triple-A, he posted a 3.71 ERA and 1.26 WHIP, with a 31:79 BB:K ratio in 68 innings. Knack is worth adding as a flier in deeper leagues as he may eventually earn a consistent spot in the starting rotation going forward. However, Yoshinobu Yamamoto is set to return on Tuesday, which may move Knack back to the bullpen or Triple-A.
