Outlook Colin Rea
Colin Rea finds temporary rotation security with the Cubs, but high ratios limit his long-term fantasy appeal.
Rea has been serviceable recently, posting a 3.66 ERA and 1.16 WHIP over his last 14 days. He currently slots in as a back-end starter in the rotation for the fourth-place Cubs, who sit at 32-30. With rotation mates like Justin Steele and Edward Cabrera on the injured list, Rea's starting spot is highly secure for now.
Despite his recent solid run, his 5.00 ERA over the last 30 days is more reflective of his high 1.40 WHIP and 4.78 ERA on the year. Our models project him for a 4.44 ERA and 1.30 WHIP rest-of-season, indicating his low-strikeout, contact-oriented profile makes him a constant regression candidate.
Rea already completed his lone scheduled start of the week on June 3rd against Oakland, leaving him with no remaining appearances before this matchup period ends. He can safely be benched for the weekend series against the Giants. For the rest of the week, he is a Sit.
