Hey, RotoBallers! Spring training is here, and it's an exciting time for baseball fans. We have been constantly updating our rankings and publishing articles all off-season to help you prepare and crush your upcoming fantasy baseball drafts. Today, we will review our MLB team's updated 2024 fantasy baseball starting pitcher rankings, recently updated for March.
Injuries are piling up, especially for pitchers, as Kodai Senga, Kyle Bradish, Justin Verlander, and Sonny Gray will miss the start of the season, while Lucas Giolito is out for the year. New York Yankees ace Gerrit Cole won't throw for several weeks and is expected to miss at least the next two months due to nerve inflammation in his right elbow.
