Jack Flaherty Expected To Be Out Through All-Star Break
4 years agoSt. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Jack Flaherty (oblique) is expected to be out through at least the All-Star break, but there is no set timetable for his return, according to Jon Heyman of MLB Network. Flaherty exited his last start on May 31 with an oblique injury after five innings of work, and was placed on the 10-day injured list the following day. This is disappointing news for managers who have Flaherty rostered, as he was in the midst of a very nice season in which he was 8-1 with a 2.90 ERA and 67 strikeouts in 62 innings of work. Managers should continue to stash him on their IL, but they should start looking for a longer-term replacement while Flaherty is out.
