Ben Casparius Building Up as Starting Pitcher
Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Ben Casparius said over the weekend that he is preparing himself as a starting pitcher entering spring training this year, according to Steve Webb of DodgersBeat.com. Casparius had an up-and-down first full season in the big leagues with the Dodgers last year, appearing in 46 games (three starts) while throwing 77 2/3 innings in the regular season. The 26-year-old went 7-5 with a bloated 4.64 ERA and 1.27 WHIP with 71 strikeouts and 21 free passes. Even though Casparius will get stretched out in spring training, he will most likely enter the 2026 campaign as a bulk-innings reliever for the defending World Series champions. Casparius won't be much of a fantasy asset as long as he remains in a relief role, although he could still be useful in deeper fantasy leagues for his swing-and-miss stuff.
