Mitchell Parker Has Stiffness In Neck
1 month agoWashington Nationals left-handed pitcher Mitchell Parker (neck) is dealing with neck stiffness and was unable to pitch on Wednesday. Parker woke up with pain in his neck, and the team decided to lean on the side of caution. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status, but this injury does not seem overly serious. Last season, the 25-year-old made his MLB debut and posted a 4.29 ERA with a 1.30 WHIP across 151 innings of work. He tallied 133 punchouts and held a solid 6.7 percent walk rate. However, he generated a high 4.37 xERA and a .256 xBA, which suggests that he could face some regression when he returns to the bump. When healthy, he will likely compete for a spot at the back of the starting rotation. If he were to remain sidelined or struggle in camp, DJ Herz or Shinnosuke Ogasawara could claim his spot.
