Nick Pivetta To Start Tuesday
5 years agoPhiladelphia Phillies starting pitcher Nick Pivetta will get the start on Tuesday against the Cardinals. Vince Velasquez will remain in the bullpen for now, where he won't have any fantasy value. Pivetta has a scary 8.35 ERA, 2.13 WHIP and 16 strikeouts in 18 1/3 innings in his four starts for the Phils this season. He also struggled with walks in the minor leagues, but Pivetta's strikeout upside will remain attractive in deeper leagues now that he's back in the rotation for the time being. The 26-year-old will be in the streaming picture on Tuesday, but he'll be a risky one at that.
