4 years agoThe Cincinnati Reds finalized their starting rotation on Saturday, awarding the final two spots to right-handers Jeff Hoffman and Jose De Leon. Those two will follow Luis Castillo, Tyler Mahle, and Wade Miley in the rotation when the regular season begins next week. Hoffman and De Leon needed some injuries in front of them to grab rotation spots as Sonny Gray and Michael Lorenzen will both open the regular season on the injured list. De Leon chalked up 24 strikeouts across 16 2/3 innings this spring, although those came along with an ERA over 8.00. He may be worth streaming in plus matchups in fantasy. Hoffman is a former first-round draft pick who will be escaping the thin air of Coors Field as he looks to jump-start his career after only pitching for the Colorado Rockies in the big leagues.--Matt T - RotoBaller
