3 years agoOakland Athletics starting pitcher James Kaprielian (shoulder) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Saturday with a shoulder impingement, according to Shayna Rubin of the Mercury News. He's been having a great rookie season in 2021, going 5-4 with a 3.24 ERA, 1.161 WHIP and 26.5 percent strikeout rate over 72 1/3 innings of work. He struggled significantly in his last outing — which could have been impacted by the shoulder injury — where he allowed six runs over 4 1/3 innings of work against the Padres. He's been one of the best rookie pitchers in fantasy this year, and managers should make sure to stash him on the IL until he returns — although there is the possibility that depending on how long he's sidelined, he might not be back in time for the fantasy playoffs.--Michael Grennell - RotoBaller
