Javier Assad | Fantasy Outlook

Javier Assad looks to stabilize after a rocky stretch while anchoring an injury-depleted Cubs rotation

Assad has hit a speed bump lately, posting an 8.75 ERA over his last 14 days, though his 30-day mark remains a respectable 3.31 ERA. He is currently serving as the number three starter for a second-place Cubs squad that boasts a 49-38 record and is riding a five-game win streak. His role is entirely secure given the massive amount of injuries to the pitching staff, including Justin Steele and Jameson Taillon.

While his 4.83 ERA on the season is currently trailing our 3.80 projection, his season-long 1.20 WHIP suggests he hasn't been as poor as the run-scoring indicates. His career history of hovering near a 3.50 ERA implies that his recent two-game slide is likely an outlier rather than a permanent decline. Expect his ratios to normalize toward our data's expectations as he continues to eat innings for a competitive Chicago team.

Looking ahead, Assad is scheduled for a home start on July 5th against the Cardinals. He will face Matthew Liberatore, who enters the matchup with a struggling 5.49 ERA and 1.59 WHIP, providing a favorable opportunity for Assad to get back into the win column. Given the run support provided by a winning Cubs lineup and the weak stats of the opposing starter, he is a solid play to finish the week. Start.
