Yusei Kikuchi Stats

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Yusei Kikuchi gutted out an excellent start Saturday, throwing seven shutout innings allowing only three hits and three walks while striking out six Cleveland batters. Unfortunately, the bullpen squandered the lead, leaving Kikuchi with a no-decision. Kikuchi showed no signs of any carryover from leaving last start early with a knee contusion, and his season ERA now sits at 3.67 for the year. He's quietly putting together an excellent year, and fantasy managers who roster him have to be feeling confident keeping him active regardless of the matchup.

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Yusei Kikuchi (knee) won't have any limitations in his start Saturday against Cleveland. The left-hander had been forced to exit his previous outing after taking a hard ground ball off his knee, but all swelling has since dissipated. The Mariners will be looking for length from Kikuchi after Justin Dunn's abbreviated outing Friday. For the season, Kikuchi has a 4.05 ERA, 1.07 WHIP, and 9.32 strikeouts per nine innings. Fantasy managers can confidently use him in their lineups.

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Yusei Kikuchi (knee) is scheduled to make the start versus the Cleveland Indians on Saturday. He is currently listed as the starter, while Justin Dunn (shoulder) gets back into the mix on Friday. Kikuchi exited early during his last start when he took a comebacker to his knee. It sounds like he only suffered a minor contusion, so fantasy managers should expect Kikuchi out there on Saturday. He holds a 4.05 ERA, 1.065 WHIP, and 9.3 K/9 in 11 starts this season.
