2024 Fantasy Outlook
The good news for Flaherty is that he was healthy enough to make 29 appearances (27 starts) and throw 144.1 innings in 2023. That's no small feat for a guy who totaled 26 appearances (23 starts) and 114.1 frames over the previous two seasons combined. The bad news is he never resembled the guy who once looked like a budding ace. To give you an idea of how much Flaherty's stuff has backed up, note that he gave up 27 more hits in 2023 than he did during his stellar 2019 season, and he did so in 52 fewer innings. Flaherty's control has also become a problem, with his 10.2 percent walk rate representing the ninth-highest mark among 76 pitchers with at least 140 innings. The Orioles were intrigued enough by the righty to trade for him at the deadline, but he held a 6.75 ERA for them and was demoted to the bullpen. Detroit gave Flaherty a one-year, $14 million contract over the winter, and the righty will get to pitch in a favorable home park and work with up-and-coming pitching coach Chris Fetter. Flaherty is still young enough (28) to rediscover something, but he'll need to prove it before fantasy managers can trust him again. Read Past Outlooks
Chased early in loss
Flaherty (12-7) allowed four runs on five hits and four walks while striking out four over three innings to take the loss versus Atlanta on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
The four walks were a season high for Flaherty, who fell short of the five-inning mark for the first time all year. Just 45 of his 83 pitches went for strikes in this poor performance, which came one start after his longest outing of the year, a 7.1-inning scoreless spectacle versus the Guardians last Sunday. Flaherty is now at a 3.04 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 184:33 K:BB through 151 innings between the Dodgers and Tigers this year. He would appear to have a good chance to bounce back his next time out, as he's projected to start in Miami.

After finishing the 2021 season seemingly healthy, Flaherty experienced shoulder soreness in spring training. He received a PRP injection to help combat the inflammation and Flaherty was shut down for a bit before ramping up with bullpen sessions. Flaherty made his debut on June 15 but mustered only three short appearances before a recurrence of the shoulder strain, sending him to the 60-day IL. Flaherty returned in September for five starts, posting a 4.00 ERA and 1.48 WHIP in 27 innings with 26 punch outs. However, control was an issue with 13 walks. Making it back and throwing all his pitches with normal velocity is encouraging, but including rehab, Flaherty has only logged 190.2 innings over the past three years. Even if healthy and effective, Flaherty's workload will likely be monitored. The smart approach is drafting Flaherty as a luxury, but chances are someone will pay for the potential.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Yankees downplay medical concerns
Yankees GM Brian Cashman said Wednesday that they would have acquired Flaherty if they could have matched the Tigers' trade demands, reports Brendan Kuty of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
The comments come on the heels of a report from Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic that indicated New York pulled out of a deal with Detroit due to concerns over Flaherty's medicals, specifically his back. The right-hander is currently healthy and made his last three starts with no medical issues, though he was forced to skip starts twice over the past couple months due to back problems despite never landing on the injured list. Flaherty's effectiveness hasn't taken a hit since he missed that first start, as he has a 2.38 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 39:9 K:BB in his past six outings. The full context of the situation may never be publicly known, but whatever occurred allowed the Dodgers to acquire him to bolster their rotation for the final two months of the season.
