Yusei Kikuchi | Fantasy Outlook

Yusei Kikuchi remains sidelined on the injured list with a left shoulder issue

Kikuchi has not featured in recent games as he continues his recovery from left shoulder tightness, placing him on the 60-day injured list for an Angels squad currently sitting in fifth place in the AL West with a 42-64 record. While he hopes to begin a throwing program soon with an eye toward an early second-half return, he remains completely unavailable for active fantasy lineups.

Our season projection numbers peg him for a 4.10 ERA, 1.32 WHIP, and 95 strikeouts across 169.0 innings once he eventually returns to the rotation. Until he is activated and cleared for game action, fantasy managers must exercise patience and keep him stashed or sidelined.

The Angels have a busy week ahead featuring matchups against Houston and Milwaukee, but Kikuchi will not take the mound as he continues working his way back from the injured list. Drop.
