Fantasy Impact

Mikolas threw two innings on at the alternate training site on Tuesday. He is clearly on track to make it back to the big league club within the next few weeks. Although it is tough to gauge what kind of pitcher he will be, as he has not pitched an inning in the MLB since 2019. He was very good in 2018, and not so great in 2019. However, the 32 year old is worthy of a stash spot on fantasy rosters in deeper leagues.
