Miles Mikolas Hit With Line Drive Friday
5 years agoSt. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Miles Mikolas (forearm) left his start early on Friday against the Cubs with a bruise on his right forearm after he was hit by a line drive. Mikolas allowed four hits (one homer) and three earned runs while walking two and fanning four in four innings in the loss to Chicago. His ERA now sits at an unsightly 6.75 on the season, although his xFIP of 3.61 suggests that he won't be this bad all year. The 30-year-old does have a decent 9.00 K/9 on the year, but he certainly hasn't been as good as he was for his fantasy owners in 2018. He should be able to make his start after taking the liner off his arm on Friday.
