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. In this article, you'll find the latest SP rankings for fantasy drafts, draft tiers, and the latest MLB player news.
These starting pitcher rankings are brought to you by Nick Mariano, Brad Camara, Eric Cross, Ariel Cohen, and Kev Mahserejian. Nick and Ariel have had the industry's #1 most accurate rankings and projections since 2018. In addition to these rankings, be sure to bookmark our main fantasy baseball rankings portal for roto, points/H2H, dynasty, AL/NL-only, best ball, MLB prospects, and more.
