Gavin Stone's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Gavin Stone (shoulder) is expected to start his throwing program this weekend as he rehabs from shoulder inflammation. Stone was placed on the 15-day IL last Friday, putting him in a good spot to make a return for the Dodgers' playoff run. Stone was in the midst of a very solid rookie campaign, pitching to a 3.53 ERA and posting an 11-5 record in 25 starts. With as many injuries as the Dodgers have sustained over the past couple seasons, Stone's consistency was very welcome in their rotation. His return will help support the Dodgers in October. Fantasy managers shouldn't plan on the 25-year-old returning during the regular season. Any fantasy managers in need of starting pitching help to finish the season should turn to Landon Knack. Knack had posted a 3.00 ERA in 54 IP coming into Friday night.

The Los Angeles Dodgers placed right-hander Gavin Stone (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list on Friday with right-shoulder inflammation and recalled right-hander Landon Knack and left-hander Justin Wrobleski from the minors in corresponding moves. Right-hander Michael Petersen was also optioned. In his last start last weekend against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Saturday, Stone gave up five earned runs on five hits while striking out four in five innings of work. There's a chance that the 25-year-old could miss the rest of the 2024 regular season, and it remains to be seen if he'll be an option for the Dodgers' rotation in the postseason. Knack is making the start for the Blue on Friday at Dodger Stadium against the visiting Cleveland Guardians, with Wrobleski likely to start on Saturday. In his first full season in the majors in 2024, Stone has gone 11-5 with a 3.53 ERA, a 1.21 WHIP and 116 K's in 25 starts.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Gavin Stone had another very good outing on Sunday, tossing seven innings of one-run ball against the Tampa Bay Rays. Stone recorded seven strikeouts while allowing just three hits and two walks. After a rough stretch in July and early August, Stone has turned things around in his last three starts, allowing just two runs over 19 IP. He's been a bit confounding this year, as his stuff and underlying metrics don't really support the good numbers, but there is no doubt he's been a solid fantasy pitcher. It is worth noting that two of his last three starts came against bad offenses, and he may still have some blowups, but he is verging on must-start status once again.

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Gavin Stone limited the Seattle Mariners to two hits while striking out a career-high 10 over seven innings in Monday's 3-0 win. Stone, who improved his record to 11-5, allowed a pair of walks during his 90-pitch gem. He has won his last two decisions after going winless from June 26 to August 13. Stone has a 3.44 ERA and a 1.24 WHIP with 105 strikeouts and 34 walks over 128 1/3 innings. Fantasy managers will get a second start this week from Stone when he faces the visiting Tampa Bay Rays at Dodger Stadium on Sunday.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Gavin Stone dominated on the mound, striking out seven during his complete-game shutout against the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday night. Stone hurled LA's first shutout since Walker Buehler did it back in April 2022, and it was the Dodgers' first from a rookie since back in 2013. The 25-year-old former top prospect is locked into the starting rotation with the team dealing with so many injuries to their pitchers, compiling a 2.73 ERA and 1.12 WHIP with 70 punchouts and 20 walks covering 89 innings this year. Stone will look for the 10th win of his breakout campaign when he gets the ball next week in a matchup against the division-rival Arizona Diamondbacks at Chavez Ravine.
