Brad Peacock Throws Off Mound Wednesday
5 years agoHouston Astros pitcher Brad Peacock (neck) was scheduled to throw off a mound for the first time this spring on Wednesday. Peacock has been struggling with nerve issues in his neck, effectively ending his chances of opening the regular season in the starting rotation. The 32-year-old right-hander has proven highly effective in a relief role for Houston, though, and he had a 4.12 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 96 strikeouts in 91 2/3 innings in 23 outings (15 starts) for the Astros in 2019. He made 20-plus starts in 2017, but unfortunately he doesn't have much use for fantasy owners coming out of the bullpen. If Peacock is starting at some point in 2020, he can be a useful streamer in DFS and deeper mixed leagues.
