4 years agoPhiladelphia Phillies starting pitcher Zach Eflin (back) allowed two runs, one earned, across five innings in Monday's start against the Blue Jays. More importantly, Eflin said he felt healthy after the game and is prepared to start the team's third game of the season against Atlanta. The 26-year-old righty changed his pitch-mix in 2020 which resulted in a 10 percent spike in strikeout rate and a 3.23 xFIP. Fantasy managers may want to avoid Eflin against the thunderous Braves lineup, he remains an attractive sleeper to target in fantasy. The primary downside to drafting Eflin is back-to-back matchups versus Atlanta to start the season; his season-long upside remains high.--Mike Schwarzenbach - RotoBaller
