Chase Burns is Scratched Due to Illness
Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Chase Burns (illness) was scratched from his scheduled start against the Kansas City Royals on Monday. Burns came down with a fever overnight and is still dealing with the symptoms. The team has elected to give Burns a few days off and move his start to Wednesday. In the meantime, Lyon Richardson will get the opening nod against the Royals on Monday. He figures to serve as the opener for what will likely be a bullpen game for the Reds. Fantasy managers should adjust their lineups accordingly and expect Burns to be back in the mix on Wednesday. Burns has been stellar with a 1.96 ERA, 0.96 WHIP, and a 72:20 K:BB ratio across 11 starts this season.
