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
Pitches into seventh versus Twins
Flaherty pitched 6.1 innings, allowing three runs on six hits and two walks while striking out eight in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Twins. He did not factor into the decision.
ANALYSIS
Flaherty was tagged for two runs in the second inning before giving up solo homer to Christian Vazquez in the fourth frame, accounting for the final tally on his ledger Sunday. The right-hander was able to pitch into the seventh inning for the first time in 2024, notching a season-high seven punchouts. The performance was his second quality start in three outings this year, and Flaherty will look to keep it up in his next projected start Friday on the road in Minnesota.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Kansas City showing interest
The Royals have had discussions with Flaherty's representation, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Kansas City seems to be casting a wide net in its search for starting pitching help. Feinsand notes that the Royals are in on Marcus Stroman, Lucas Giolito and Michael Wacha, among others. Flaherty had a disappointing 2023 with a 4.99 ERA and 148:66 K:BB over 144.1 innings, but he's one of the younger free-agent pitchers and 28 and would make some sense as a potential bounce-back option.

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.
