Fantasy Impact:

James underwent hip surgery in October and was expected to miss six-to-eight months. He’s recovering well from his surgery and could return late in the year. James struggled in 2020, owning a 7.27 ERA, 1.86 WHIP and a 21:17 K:BB across 17 1/3 innings. The 27-year-old will continue to rehab in hopes of returning sometime during the 2021 season. James is mainly a deep-league dynasty stash for now.
