Chase Burns | Fantasy Outlook

Chase Burns lands on the injured list with a groin strain, ending his breakout campaign

Burns was placed on the 15-day injured list on September 20 with a right groin strain, bringing a sudden halt to his stellar run as a rotation anchor for the fifth-place Reds (72-84). Prior to the injury, the young righty hit a rough patch, logging a 5.69 ERA and 1.67 WHIP over 17.4 innings across his last 30 days. His early departure in September signaled the physical wear that ultimately shut him down for Cincinnati, who enter the week on a two-game skid.

Despite his late-season turbulence, Burns' overall campaign has been a masterclass, yielding a 15-3 record, 2.90 ERA, and 185 strikeouts across 152 innings. While our projections anticipated a respectable 3.66 ERA, Burns blossomed into a legitimate fantasy ace powered by a wipeout slider. The recent dip in performance appears tied to workload and groin tightness rather than any loss of his electric arsenal.

With Cincinnati finishing the regular season against Atlanta and Toronto, Brandon Williamson and Andrew Abbott take the mound while Burns is officially sidelined. Our models project zero frames for Burns this week, meaning he offers no further fantasy utility for the championship stretch. Sit.
