Tom Cosgrove

Cosgrove broke onto the scene in 2023 when he pitched to a 1.75 ERA in 51.1 innings with the Padres. However, he was seldom used at the big league level in both 2024 and 2025, tossing just 18.2 combined innings with the Padres and Cubs. Cosgrove will likely open the season with Triple-A Sugar Land.

Tom Cosgrove tossed two scoreless innings Tuesday, allowing one hit and one walk while striking out two in the Cubs' shutout win.

Fantasy Impact

Cosgrove lowered his ERA to 11.66 over 14.2 innings, but his bloated WHIP (2.00) and poor season-long ratios limit his fantasy viability. Despite the clean outing, he remains off the radar outside of extremely deep formats, especially with no hold or save opportunities in play.
