Jack Flaherty Could Return In Late August
2 years agoSt. Louis Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said that right-hander Jack Flaherty (shoulder) will rejoin the team in St. Louis on Saturday. After he throws a bullpen session, the Cardinals will determine when and where Flaherty will head out on a minor league rehab assignment. There is hope from the team that he can return to the starting rotation by late August or early September. The 26-year-old landed on the injured list on June 27 with a strained right shoulder, and he could return when first eligible in the last week of August, barring any setbacks on his rehab assignment. Flaherty has made only three starts for the Red Birds due to injury, and he allowed five earned runs while striking out six and walking nine in eight innings, but he's worth stashing right now in fantasy leagues if you're in need of starting pitching down the stretch.
