Cade Cavalli | Fantasy Outlook

Cade Cavalli returns from suspension to anchor a depleted Nationals rotation

Cavalli has looked sharp since returning from a five-game suspension, maintaining a 2.98 ERA and a 0.93 WHIP over his last three starts. Although he recently battled through dehydration and a lack of his best stuff during a muggy afternoon in D.C., he remains the most talented arm in the rotation for the fourth-place Nationals. With a 48-49 record and several starters like Josiah Gray and Mitchell Parker on the 60-day injured list, Washington will lean heavily on Cavalli to stabilize the staff.

His current 10.30 K/9 rate for the year is elite, though his 3.93 ERA is slightly outperforming our season projection of 4.20. While his season-long 1.38 WHIP suggests he may experience some regression if he does not maintain the impeccable control shown earlier this season, his ability to dominate through pure velocity and a nasty knuckle-curve is legitimate. Owners should expect him to remain a high-upside fantasy anchor as long as he avoids further health setbacks.

The Nationals travel to face the Athletics for a three-game series starting Friday after a few days of rest. This is a highly favorable environment for Cavalli, as the spacious Coliseum is one of the most pitcher-friendly parks in the majors. Facing an Athletics squad that currently sits at 41-55 and struggles for offensive consistency, he is a priority play for managers looking to capitalize on high-upside strikeouts and a strong chance for a win. Start.
