This outing continues a promising start to the season for Lively, who now boasts a 2.38 ERA and a 0.79 WHIP through his first two starts. His impressive 11.1 K/9 and 14.00 strikeout-to-walk ratio are particularly encouraging for fantasy managers looking for reliable strikeout potential.

Ben Lively delivered a solid performance but couldn't avoid the loss in Wednesday's 2-0 defeat to the Red Sox.

He allowed two earned runs on three hits and one walk while striking out seven over five innings. Despite the loss, Lively's outing was a promising display of control and strikeout ability, maintaining a strong start to the season with a 3.60 ERA and a 0.80 WHIP. His high strikeout rate (12.6 K/9) and favorable WHIP are encouraging signs for fantasy managers, suggesting potential for high fantasy value if he can sustain these metrics.

Ben Lively (illness) is expected to be activated from the IL and start Wednesday.

Lively and Xzavion Curry will both be activated this week and join the Guardians’ rotation. Lively could work his way into a spot in the five man rotation if he is able to pitch well against Boston.

Ben Lively signed a one-year deal with the Cleveland Guardians.

Lively was removed from the 40-man roster for the Reds and now lands in Cleveland. He is capable of working both as a starter and in long relief and should find his role in that area for the Guardians.

The Reds placed Ben Lively on the 15-day IL with a right pectoral strain.

This move comes one day after Lively allowed 13 runs against the Cubs. He will miss some time on the injured list. Daniel Duarte was recalled from Triple-A Louisville as the corresponding move.
