Availability
Blue Jays right-hander Dylan Cease allowed two runs (one earned) with eight strikeouts across five innings in a no-decision against the Dodgers on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
Cease had an elevated pitch count in this one, not only due to the eight strikeouts, but also because of the four walks he issued in an eventual 4-3 win. The outing lowers the veteran's ERA to 2.45 across his first three starts with his new team, although he's thrown just 14 2/3 innings in that time. He will aim for more length in his next scheduled start on Wednesday against the Brewers.
Dylan Cease allowed two earned runs on five hits and three walks while striking out six over 4 1/3 innings in Friday's loss to the White Sox.
Fantasy Impact
Cease continues to showcase swing-and-miss stuff to begin the season, racking up six or more strikeouts and allowing two earned runs or less in each of his first two starts. After Friday's outing, the right-hander now has a 2.79 ERA and 1.34 WHIP with a 3.60 K/BB through two starts as a top-tier starting option in all formats despite the lack of run support to begin the season.
Blue Jays right-hander Dylan Cease struck out 12 Athletics hitters in his Blue Jays debut on Saturday.
Fantasy Impact
Cease certainly pitched well enough to earn his first Blue Jays win as he allowed just three hits and two walks to go along with his 12 punchouts in 5 1/3 innings of work. However, the Jays' offense didn't wake up til he was out of the game in an eventual 8-7 walk-off win. Cease should be a staple in all fantasy formats this season after making at least 32 starts in each of the last five campaigns.
Dylan Cease is scheduled to start the second game of the regular season for the Toronto Blue Jays.
Fantasy Impact
Cease will make his regular season debut on the mound for manager John Schneider at home against the Athletics. The right-hander possesses elite swing-and-miss stuff despite providing mixed results on the hill for the San Diego Padres in 2025, racking up 215 strikeouts to go along with a 1.33 WHIP and 4.55 ERA in 32 starts (8-12).
Dylan Cease will now pitch in a simulated game on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
Cease had been named the starter in Thursday's spring training game against the Braves. It will be Eric Lauer starting in his place.
