Yusei Kikuchi | Fantasy Outlook

Yusei Kikuchi remains sidelined on the 60-day injured list with shoulder inflammation, targeting an early second-half return.

Kikuchi has not played recently as he remains sidelined on the 60-day injured list with left shoulder tightness, an issue later diagnosed as inflammation. The fifth-place Angels, who currently sit at 27-42, are missing his presence in the starting rotation. He hopes to begin a throwing program soon to target a return early in the second half.

Prior to his injury, the veteran left-hander struggled through seven starts, posting a disappointing 5.94 ERA and 1.62 WHIP over 30.3 innings, though he did flash solid strikeout stuff with 33 punchouts. Our models still project a solid bounce-back to a 4.10 ERA and 1.32 WHIP over 169.0 innings once he returns, which aligns more closely with his career baseline.

With the Angels set to finish their week with a home series against the Rays starting June 12, Kikuchi will obviously not take the mound. Given his extended timeline, he has no fantasy utility for the week ahead. He should be stashed on IL spots where available, making him a clear Sit.
