Brad Peacock Gets Back On Track Against Indians
Brad Peacock allowed only one run on four hits while striking out seven against the Indians on Saturday. Peacock has been mediocre out of the gate to begin the season but it was nice to see his swing-and-miss stuff back on display against Cleveland. When given the chance to start, Peacock can be an intriguing fantasy asset thanks to a 10.98:K/9 in 2017 and then posting 13.29:K/9 last season. He may not be a must-add at this time in every fantasy format but he is a player worth monitoring over his next few starts.

Royals Sign Brad Peacock
Brad Peacock to a minor league deal on Monday. Peacock wasn't on a 40-man roster at the end of last year despite briefly pitching for the Boston Red Sox in 2021, so he was able to sign during MLB's lockout. The 34-year-old has spent eight of his 10 major league seasons pitching for the Houston Astros, and he was successful as a starter and reliever from 2016-19, when he had a 3.48 ERA in 320 1/3 innings. Peacock had shoulder surgery in the fall of 2020 and has thrown just 2 1/3 innings since. The righty allowed nine runs in 5 1/3 innings for Boston last year and wasn't much better at Triple-A, posting an 8.00 ERA in 36 innings.
