Scheduled starts: first start was pushed back due to weather and he left his second start early after getting hit by a line drive on the shoulder. Zach Thompson, Pittsburgh Pirates - 2% rostered If he can be efficient with his pitches like he was in his debut, he will completely escape the streaming landscape and be rostered too widely to add in most leagues. He held his own against the White Sox but will be tested again when he faces Houston. Scheduled starts: vs HOU, 23-year-old Brash was dominant enough in spring to earn a rotation spot out of the gate. Matt Brash, Seattle Mariners - 43% rostered If Keuchel can keep the ball in the infield, he could sneak away with a quality start or two. Minnesota has the fourth-lowest GB% and the Guardians are in the bottom half while both squads are among the leaders in home runs. The one thing he still did well was inducing groundballs. 302, neither of which inspire confidence. His K-rate fell down to 13.2% last year and his xBA ballooned to. Often a fallback option when there's nobody more exciting available, Keuchel won't blow anyone away in real life or fantasy but he can still be effective. There was some concern in spring that his velocity was down and he wasn't looking too sharp but those doubts were erased pretty quickly. Matt Manning, Detroit Tigers - 5% rosteredĪdmittedly, there is risk in rolling out a young pitcher who posted a 5.80 ERA and near-15% BB% last season but keep in mind this is a top-10 draft pick who was right up there with Casey Mize and Tarik Skubal as high-end prospects before they reached the Triple-A/MLB level. It remains to be seen how far they'll stretch him but efficiency should work in his favor. He was excellent in his first start but it was a short one at four 1/3 IP. The left field fence being moved out in Baltimore makes that scenario more palatable too. The Guardians are off to a hot start courtesy of Steven Kwan but this isn't projected to be a top-20 offense when all is said and done. We know the O's have plenty of swing-and-miss in their lineup. I'll slot Cortes in the solid streamer category based on the upcoming matchups. Nestor Cortes, New York Yankees - 30% rostered
