Outlook Khristian Curtis
Khristian Curtis secures first MLB win but remains confined to long relief
Curtis recently earned his first major league win, delivering three innings of relief with two strikeouts. Over his last 30 days, the rookie right-hander has logged a 3.00 ERA across two outings for a Pirates squad that sits at 73-73 on a three-game winning streak. He currently operates out of Pittsburgh's bullpen as a long relief option rather than in the primary starting rotation.
Through his first 11 big-league innings, Curtis carries an eye-catching 1.64 ERA and 0.82 WHIP. However, our models caution that regression looms given his six walks against only seven strikeouts in that span. Without missing more bats or showing sharper command, his sparkling surface ratios will be difficult to sustain.
Pittsburgh wraps up a series with the White Sox today before heading to Wrigley Field to face the Cubs this weekend. Curtis is not slated for any starts, as rotation duties belong to Jared Jones, Braxton Ashcraft, Paul Skenes, and Bubba Chandler. Confined to sporadic long-relief innings, he offers negligible fantasy utility. Sit.
