Free-agent starting pitcher Matt Garza (shoulder) will undergo shoulder surgery, according to Adam McCalvy of MLB.com. This surgery on a torn right labrum stems from a June 3rd collision with former Brewers teammate Jesus Aguilar. While the injury sent Garza to the disabled list, it did not end his 2017 season, which he finished with a 4.94 ERA. His future is questionable after major shoulder surgery that could make the 34-year-old miss the entire 2018 season.
Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Matt Garza will start Wednesday versus Cincinnati. This needed to be reported since they skipped Garza on Sunday against Washington. Garza is not a great option but there are leagues deep enough where he is still relevant. As for DFS, he is a risky play since Cincinnati is a good offensive team.

Matt Garza To Pitch Thursday, Wei-Chung Wang Sent Down
The Milwaukee Brewers made a pair of moves Wednesday. They will activate starting pitcher Matt Garza (leg) to start Thursday versus St Louis. To make room, they sent down pitcher Wei-Chung Wang to Triple-A. Wang was brought up to help out the bullpen and still is not fantasy relevant in most leagues. Garza has a 3.83 ERA in 15 starts this season. He should be owned in deep leagues. Garza will face a mediocre Cardinals offense so there is some minor DFS appeal if he can go deep in the game.
Matt Garza Hopes To Come Off Disabled List Thursday To Start
Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Matt Garza (leg) is hoping to come off the disabled list in time to start against the St Louis Cardinals Thursday. Garza has a 3.83 ERA in 15 starts this season. He should be owned in deep leagues. The St Louis Cardinals have been pitching well lately but the offense has not been as strong so there is a chance for a decent first start for Garza.
Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Matt Garza hit the 10-day disabled list, retroactive to July 23, with a right lower leg strain. Garza had been scheduled to start against the Nationals on Thursday, but Michael Blazek will now make that start. There is no current timetable for Garza's return and Garza has a 3.83 ERA in 15 starts this season. He can safely be dropped in more shallow leagues, but should be held onto in deeper formats.
Matt Garza With Third Straight Productive Outing Wednesday Versus Baltimore
Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Matt Garza went 6 1/3 scoreless innings Wednesday versus Baltimore. In his past three outings, Garza has gone 18 1/3 innings allowing five runs, 11 strikeouts while only walking three. He has dropped his 2017 season ERA from 4.42 to 3.98 over those three outings. Some skepticism is understandable as he has not finished a season with an ERA under 4.00 since 2014. He is not a consideration in 10 team leagues but in deeper leagues where pitching is scarce, those three outings provide a glimmer of hope that some may need to gamble on. He is not scheduled to pitch again until after the All-Star break.
Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Matt Garza went five innings Friday versus Miami, allowing two runs. He took a no-decision but kept the Brewers in the game long enough for them to come back later in the game to win 3-2. Garza had not really been a fantasy asset since 2014 which was the last time he had a season with an ERA below 4. However, the last two outings have been strong so there is a small glimmer for his believers. His next scheduled matchup is a strong Baltimore offense so be careful.
Matt Garza Suffers From Tragic Lack Of Run Support Saturday
Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Matt Garza went six innings Saturday versus Atlanta, allowing three runs with four strikeouts. It was one of his better efforts but his offense only scored one run so he took the loss. Garza has not really been a strong fantasy option since the last time he finished a season with an ERA below 4.00 (2014). If you must start him due to a very deep league, be cautious next start as Miami may have disappointing numbers but has plenty of talented offensive players.
Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Matt Garza went 5 1/3 innings Monday versus Pittsburgh, allowing four runs with three strikeouts. Garza has not really been a strong fantasy option since the last time he finished a season with an ERA below 4.00 (2014).
