Junis is currently on the 15-day IL with a right shoulder impingement, but will likely need much longer than the minimum 15 days. Fantasy managers should expect Junis to need a rehab assignment before returning to the team.

The details of the contract have not been released yet. According to McDaniel, Junis is signing with Milwaukee to start after he had been a swingman for the Giants the past couple of seasons.

The Boston Red Sox have reportedly expressed interest in free agent pitcher Jakob Junis.

Junis has experience as both a starter and reliever with the Giants. It is unclear how close the two sides are on a contract, but it is something to monitor nonetheless.

Jakob Junis turned in an impressive performance against the Padres on Thursday, hurling four hitless innings while allowing just one walk and striking out three.

Fantasy Impact

Despite his strong outing, Junis was unable to secure a win as the Giants ultimately triumphed 7-2. With a 3.87 ERA and a 1.29 WHIP on the season, Junis has shown flashes of potential, but his inconsistent performance and lack of run support have limited his fantasy value. However, his solid strikeout rate of 10.1 K/9 and a respectable 4.03 FIP suggest that there may still be some upside to be found with Junis moving forward. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his progress and consider him as a streaming option in favorable matchups.
