Fantasy Impact
Flaherty is expected to throw around 75 pitches on Friday. Barring a setback, he will be activated from the injured list ahead of his next big league start. This is excellent news for Flaherty’s managers as the Cardinals ace could return to the rotation as soon as next week. Flaherty owns a 2.90 ERA, 1.03 WHIP, and a 67:20 K:BB across 62 innings in 2021.
