Jack Flaherty's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Detroit Tigers right-hander Jack Flaherty looked good in his first start with the Tigers on Sunday, allowing just one earned run on four hits (one homer) while walking none and striking out seven in six innings pitched to pick up a no-decision in Detroit's eventual 3-2 victory on the road. Korey Lee's solo home run was the only blemish on Flaherty's line. The 28-year-old went 8-9 last year with a 4.99 ERA (4.36 FIP) and 1.58 WHIP with 66 walks and 148 strikeouts in 144 1/3 innings over 29 appearances (27 starts) for the St. Louis Cardinals and Baltimore Orioles. Injuries and control problems have become an issue for Flaherty in recent seasons, but he still has the stuff to help fantasy managers in juicy matchups like the one he had on Sunday versus Chicago. He has another one coming up in his next scheduled start against the Oakland Athletics.

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Jack Flaherty got roughed up in his third outing of the Grapefruit League against the New York Yankees. Over 1 2/3 innings, the offseason addition allowed three hits, four runs, three walks and struck out three. The 28-year-old was once one the better starting pitchers in the league, but injuries have derailed his career over the past three seasons. The move to Comerica Park should benefit the righty, but he still has a lot to prove to earn a spot in most formats at the moment. For now, he is watch-list candidate and that's solely based on previous success in the big leagues.

Detroit Tigers pitcher Jack Flaherty worked a perfect inning in his spring debut with the team on Monday versus the Houston Astros. The veteran was brought into Detroit on a one-year, $14 million deal this offseason after he struggled between the Cardinals and Orioles in the 2023 campaign. The 28-year-old posted a 4.99 ERA across 29 outings (27 starts) but struggled mightily following a trade-deadline deal to the O's where he posted a 6.75 ERA in 34 2/3 innings of work. However, the 2023 season was also his healthiest full campaign since 2019, and he will get a shot at taking the ball every fifth day with the Tigers in 2024. He could be a solid late-round sleeper as he posted a 3.22 ERA as recently as the 2021 season and is coming off his first healthy offseason in some time.
