Instead of focusing on two-start pitchers in week 15 with a half slate of games, this article is going to focus only on those pitchers that are not starting in week 15. The last thing you want to do is have any pitchers in your line up that produce no stats and put your fantasy baseball team right behind the eight ball right out of the second half gate.
Here is a look at the pitchers that will be missing starts in week 15. Some teams have three games while others have four, so you will see either one or two names listed below.
AZ – Kenndey, Enright
ATL – Medlen
BAL – Arrieta, Tillman
BOS – Dice-K
CHC – Silva
CHW – Hudson
CIN – Leake, Wood
CLE – Laffey
COL – Jimenez, Francis
DET – Oliver
FLA – Robertson, Sanabia
HOU – W. Rodriguez, Moehler
KC – Davis, Lerew
LAA – Kazmir
LAD – McDonald – James McDonald was summoned from Triple-A and it looks like he will take the rotation spot of John Ely. McDonald was 6-1 in Triple-A with a 4.41 ERA and 57 strikeouts in 63 1/3 innings. He has yet to translate his success from the minor leagues into the major leagues as a starter before so I don’t expect much from him the second half of the season. If you own Ely, I would still hold on to him for a few weeks if you have the roster spot for him.
MIL – Parra, D. Davis
MIN – Blackburn, Baker
NYM – Takahashi
NYY – Hughes, Vazquez
OAK – Sheets, Braden
PHI – Kendrick
PIT – Lincoln, Karstens
SD – Latos, LeBlanc
SF – Bumgarner
SEA – 5th starter won’t start although who that will be with Cliff Lee gone is still up in the air
STL – Hawksworth
TB – Garza, W. Davis
TEX – Feldman
TOR – Cecil, Litsch / Rzepcynski – Marcum is supposed to come back on Sunday from injury.
WAS – Martin, Atilano
