Outlook Kyle Leahy
Leahy remains a ratio risk ahead of a tough road matchup against Minnesota
Kyle Leahy has found tough sledding recently, compiling a 4.71 ERA and a high 1.57 WHIP over his last 30 days. He continues to fill the number five starter role for the second-place Cardinals, who are rolling on a six-game win streak with a 37-28 record despite bullpen injuries to Ryan Fernandez.
Leahy's current 4.48 ERA and 1.60 WHIP on the season closely mirror his recent struggles, signaling that his control issues are no fluke. While our models project some modest rest-of-season improvement toward a 4.31 ERA and 1.35 WHIP, his low strikeout rate and frequent traffic make him a major liability for fantasy rosters.
For the remainder of the week, Leahy is scheduled for a single road start on June 12 against the Twins. He faces a daunting opponent in Joe Ryan, who boasts an elite 3.07 ERA and 1.00 WHIP. With a tough matchup on deck and poor recent form, the smart move is to sit Leahy this week.
