Mason Fluharty Fantasy Stats

Toronto Blue Jays left-handed pitcher Mason Fluharty (knee) was hit by two consecutive comebackers during Saturday's game against the Athletics. Fluharty exited the game after the second occurrence. He was diagnosed with a right knee contusion, but his X-rays came back negative, according to Keegan Matheson of MLB.com. The 24-year-old is reportedly "feeling good," and although he might be a little sore on Sunday, the team doesn't expect the injury to be anything serious. It sounds like he'll avoid landing on the injured list and could possibly return to game action within the next few days. Fluharty had a 4.44 ERA as a rookie last year, with opponents hitting just .193 against him.

The Athletic's Mitch Bannon thinks Toronto Blue Jays rookie left-handed reliever Mason Fluharty could get more opportunities in high-leverage spots with right-hander Yimi Garcia (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list. Fluharty has only 2 1/3 innings of high-leverage work this year, but he's allowed a batting average under .175 to all hitters. The 23-year-old southpaw struggled at times against righties in the minor leagues, but his cutter has become a weapon against them now and is using the pitch almost 70% of the time against righties. Fluharty has earned more opportunities later in games and is one to keep an eye on in fantasy leagues that count holds. The former fifth-rounder in 2022 out of Liberty has a 3.86 ERA (3.08 FIP) and 0.90 WHIP with 20 strikeouts and eight walks in his first 21 relief innings in the big leagues in 2025.
