Musgrove has stellar outing and is worth a waiver claim
Solid starting pitching for any fantasy team is tough to come by in fantasy and is especially tough for those of you in deeper leagues. Joe Musgrove's performance yesterday is tough to ignore.
Joe allowed 5 hits with 7 strikeouts over 7 innings against the Cardinals. He has been injured all season due to a strained right shoulder and he finally made his debut with a splash.
Musgrove went 7 innings while only throwing 67 pitches, so do not expect a repeat performance quite like this. However, he is still worth a look and worth a roster spot in deeper leagues.
His pitch count will grow over his next few outings to allow him to pitch deeper into games, but for now he might throw around 5 or 6 quality innings and sneak his way into a win.
Musgrove is available in 70% of leagues and has a much tougher matchup next week against the Chicago Cubs.
