Zach Eflin Going On The Injured List
3 years agoThe Philadelphia Phillies are placing starting pitcher Zach Eflin (knee) on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday with right patellar tendinitis. It's an injury that he dealt with earlier in his career, needing surgery to fix both patella tendons in 2016. Cristopher Sanchez will remain with the team with Aaron Nola coming off the COVID-19 list, and Sanchez could take Eflin's place in the rotation. Fantasy managers should prepare for the possibility that Eflin could miss extended time. The 27-year-old right-hander struggled in his last start against Miami, giving up five earned runs and six hits in 3 2/3 innings on July 16, raising his ERA on the season to a still respectable 4.17. He's worth stashing if you have the room in most mixed leagues, especially with his league-low 1.4 BB/9 in 105 2/3 innings over 18 innings.
