Dylan Cease's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

The San Diego Padres have announced their starting rotation for the three-game series that starts on Friday in Miami against the Marlins, and right-hander Dylan Cease will get the ball in the series finale on Sunday. Left-hander Martin Perez will go in the series opener on Friday, while right-hander Matt Waldron will start on Saturday. Cease threw a scoreless inning in his last outing on Tuesday against the hosting Pittsburgh Pirates before a lengthy rain delay ended his outing prematurely. The 28-year-old will be plenty rested this weekend for an excellent fantasy matchup against the Fish, where he'll be a must-start in all lineups. Cease threw San Diego's second-ever no-hitter on July 25 against the Nationals and has given up just one earned run in his last 28 2/3 innings in the second half of the season. In his first year in San Diego, he's emerged as a National League Cy Young candidate.

Over his last seven appearances, Cease owns a sparkling 1.99 ERA and 0.75 WHIP while fanning 58 hitters and walking 15 through 45 1/3 frames. The hard-throwing 28-year-old right-hander lines up to take the hill during next week's series in a favorable matchup against the hosting Pittsburgh Pirates at PNC Park.
