Trevor Bauer Fantasy

Cincinnati Reds right-hander Trevor Bauer tossed two scoreless innings in a Cactus League start against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Thursday. Bauer didn't allow a baserunner and notched two strikeouts in his Cactus League debut. The start is an encouraging sign for Bauer after he struggled through a 2019 season which he split between the Reds and the Cleveland Indians. Bauer posted an 11-13 record and a 4.48 ERA in 34 starts between the two clubs. Heading into the final year of his contract, the 29-year-old is a solid bounce-back candidate for the 2020 campaign.

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Trevor Bauer avoided salary arbitration on Friday by agreeing to a one-year, $17.5 million deal. Bauer posted a 4.48 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 253 strikeouts in 213 innings in 34 starts for the Indians and Reds in 2019. The right-hander had an ugly 6.39 ERA and 1.35 WHIP in his 10 starts for Cincinnati to close the season. He's certainly not as attractive in a hitter-friendly park like Great American Ballpark and out of the weak American League Central, but Bauer still possesses plenty of strikeout upside (career 9.5 K/9) to make him attractive in mixed leagues.

Cincinnati Reds right-hander Trevor Bauer looked good in his Tuesday start against the Seattle Mariners. Bauer allowed two runs over 6 1/3 innings of work while striking out eight in the 4-3 loss. He escaped with a no-decision in the contest after departing with his team down 2-1. Bauer has mostly struggled since his trade to the Reds, posting a 1-4 record, 7.40 ERA, and 1.57 WHIP over eight starts. He will look to build upon his recent strong performance in his next start, which will come against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday. Arizona has been swinging hot bats of late, making Bauer a risky fantasy option.
