Adam Wainwright

Long-time St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Adam Wainwright will return to the team for the 2023 season.

Fantasy Impact

As has been the case over the last few seasons, Wainwright's future has been a year-to-year decision. That decision has apparently been made as he gets set to return for his 18th MLB season, all spent with the Cardinals. Even at 41, Wainwright remains a solid fantasy option on the heels of a 2022 campaign that saw him turn in a 3.71 ERA and 11 wins across 32 starts.

Adam Wainwright struggled through 4 2/3 innings on the mound for the Cardinals Sunday, allowing six runs on six hits while also walking two and striking out four in the Cardinals' 7-5 loss to the Pirates.
