Eligibility
Emerson Hancock will open the season in the Mariners starting rotation.
Fantasy Impact

Fantasy Impact
Hancock made three starts before he was shut down for the season due to a right shoulder strain. The rookie posted a 4.50 ERA across the first three starts of his career. He will compete for a spot towards the end of the Mariners starting rotation next year. It is also possible he is a trade candidate given how crowded the rotation is for Seattle.

Fantasy Impact
It is a tough break for the rookie who has already dealt with several injuries throughout his early career. Hancock left his last start on Sunday after two scoreless innings. He will look to make a full recovery for next season.
