Fantasy Impact

Even with the move to the IL being retroactive to Tuesday, Minor would not be eligible to be activated until the final day of the season. The Reds will likely shut Minor down for the remainder of the season and he will focus on getting healthy for the 2023 season.

Mike Minor dropped to 4-12 Saturday after allowing five runs, five hits, and five walks over three innings.

Fantasy Impact

Minor looked like he was trending in the right direction a few weeks ago, but he's regressed over the past two starts. He simply offers no value for fantasy managers for the rest of this season as he's not bringing anything to the table with a 6.06 ERA, 1.63 WHIP, and seven strikeouts per nine innings.

Mike Minor allowed six runs (four earned) over five innings in Monday's loss to the Pirates. Minor struck out five but allowed three home runs, which drove in all six of Pittsburgh's runs.

Fantasy Impact

In Minor's defense, the third home run came after he should have been out of the inning had it not been for an error by Alejo Lopez. Even so, Minor is not a pitcher you can trust down the stretch of the season.

Mike Minor won his fourth game of the season after allowing only one run off ten hits over five and two-thirds innings Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact

The victory was arguably Minor's best start of the season, although naysayers will point out he allowed ten hits and only struck out three. Minor has pitched better of late but still isn't someone to trust down the stretch of the fantasy baseball season.

Mike Minor allowed two runs over four and two-thirds innings in the Reds' 5-3 loss to the Cardinals Wednesday. The two runs came via a Nolan Arenado home run.

Fantasy Impact

Minor pitched pretty well by his 2022 standard, though he didn't go very deep into the game. He also only struck out one batter. Minor remains an unappealing fantasy option, though he's pitching a bit better lately.
