Chase Burns Hits 15-Day Injured List With Flexor Strain
Chase Burns (elbow) on the 15-day injured list with a Grade 1 right flexor strain. The 22-year-old recently met with management to discuss a potential innings limit during the final weeks of the season. However, now with this injury, Burns could be in danger of missing the remainder of the campaign. He made his MLB debut on June 24 and has remained in the rotation since. Through his first 34 1/3 innings in the big leagues (eight starts), the former second overall pick from last year's draft has held a modest 5.24 ERA and a 1.34 WHIP. However, he has flashed immense strikeout upside, racking up 57 over this stretch. While Burns is sidelined, fantasy managers should expect Nick Martinez to remain in the rotation for the foreseeable future.
