Promising PiratesAs everyone looks ahead to the much-hyped major league debut of Pittsburgh Pirates prospect Paul Skenes on Saturday, let's remind fantasy managers to not forget the other talented rookie member of their rotation, Jared Jones.
Now seven starts into his big league career, Jones has been a sensation for the team, posting a 2.63 ERA while leading all rookies in strikeouts (52) and ranking second among said freshman class with 1.3 wins above replacement -- that trails only 30-year-old "rookie" Shota Imanaga's 2.1. Jones has not yet surrendered more than three runs in any start, and he has struck out double-digit batters twice.
Jones' eighth start comes at home against the Chicago Cubs, working a day ahead of Skenes, which should provide quite a one-two power pitching punch against the Cubs' middling-to-above-average offense. The projections do grade this one of the tougher matchups, however, in part because it takes place at Chicago's Wrigley Field rather than the more pitching-friendly confines of Pittsburgh's PNC Park.
Jones has succeeded against tough matchups already, delivering quality starts against the Baltimore Orioles (April 5) and Philadelphia Phillies (April 11), and it'll probably be advantageous that the Cubs haven't yet faced him. He's well worth keeping in your lineups.
After all, Jones' command has been better than expected, with a major-league-leading (among qualifiers) 37.0% whiff rate, a fifth-ranked 3.2% walk rate and an 18th-ranked 67.5% first pitch strike rate. Between that and the four-seam fastball and slider Statcast has graded as plus pitches thus far, he's well equipped to keep up his hot start.
Everything else you need to know for Friday Friday begins a weekend of starting pitchers returning from injuries, and there isn't a better opportunity, among those widely available, than the Seattle Mariners' Bryan Woo. After missing the season's first six weeks with an elbow injury, he made a trio of scoreless rehabilitation starts for Triple-A Tacoma, during which time he continued to show similar ingredients to those over his final seven starts of 2023 (3.31 ERA, 1.16 WHIP). Woo managed a 38% whiff rate and 50% ground ball rate for Tacoma, compared with 29% and 44% during that seven-start 2023 stretch, and ramped his pitch count to 67 last Saturday, signaling he should be ready for roughly 80 on Friday. Best yet, he has a home matchup against the Oakland Athletics, a plus matchup in terms of both run prevention and strikeouts. Taj Bradley is another Friday returning starter, as he'll rejoin the Tampa Bay Rays' rotation in place of injured Ryan Pepiot. Which version of Bradley will we get, however, the one who struggled mightily between the majors and Triple-A in 2023, or the one who has been excellent at every other minor league stop since he was a 2018 fifth-round draft pick? While a precariously small sample, and not at all equal in terms of competitive level, his 32% whiff and 20% hard-hit rates, per Statcast, in his two rehab starts for Triple-A Durham, offer promise of the latter. Bradley's return start, however, comes against a New York Yankees team that has averaged 6.09 runs with a tied-for-third 19 home runs in the past 12 days (through Wednesday), and he does have a penchant for serving up home runs. Advantage: Yankees. Before you race to stack Texas Rangers hitters for their Friday series opener against the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field, pump the brakes slightly due to the specifics of the matchup. The Rockies will start Austin Gomber, their most effective starting pitcher (7.7 fantasy points per game and staff-best 1.2 WAR), even if the projections list him as Friday's least appealing fantasy option. Nevertheless, the Rangers are a noticeably more potent offense against right- than left-handed pitchers -- the projections have them the fifth best in terms of run production against the former, 19th against the latter. Coors' high altitude inflates most any hitter's fantasy potential -- do start every Texas hitter you normally would -- but if there's a game in this weekend series in which Rangers hitters might be held in check, it's this one.It's not too late to start a free fantasy baseball league. Leagues drafted this week will start scoring fresh the following Monday. Come and join the fun!
