Nate Karns News
The Baltimore Orioles placed pitcher Nate Karns on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday with a right forearm strain and recalled reliever Evan Phillips from Triple-A Norfolk in a corresponding move. Karns served as the opener for the O's in two games this year and hadn't allowed a run while striking out five in 5 1/3 innings. The right-hander has no fantasy relevance if he's opening games or pitching out of the bullpen for the lowly Orioles.
Baltimore Orioles pitcher Nate Karns will serve as the opener against the Toronto Blue Jays on the road on Wednesday. Karns went two scoreless innings last week against the Yankees as an opener but shouldn't be used in fantasy for another likely short outing. The Orioles are currently using the right-hander in somewhat of a swing role, severely limiting his fantasy value. Even if Karns enters the starting rotation at some point, he's not a very appealing fantasy starter.
Baltimore Orioles pitcher Nate Karns will start as the opener on Saturday against the Yankees. Karns will mostly pitch in relief for Baltimore to begin the year, so he shouldn't be owned in fantasy leagues. The 31-year-old right-hander didn't pitch at all in 2018 because of injury and wasn't very effective in mostly a starting role the last two years with the Royals and Mariners. He won't be expected to go more than two innings against the Yankees this weekend.
