Carlos Frias

Carlos Frias pitched four solid innings filling in for Zack Greinke. He struck out two and the only blemish to his night was a home run by Paul Goldschmidt. 32-of-43 pitches were thrown for strikes.

Fantasy Impact

As expected, Frias did not pitch deep into the game. Surprisingly, he pitched well in his first start since June. It was only a spot start so don't expect Frias to be fantasy relevant the remainder of the year.

Carlos Frias has been named the starter for tonight's Dodgers game. He replaces Zack Greinke, who was scratched earlier with a strained calf.

Fantasy Impact

Frias has a 4.27 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 40 strikeouts in 71 2/3 innings pitched this year. Mattingly probably won't let him pitch deep into the game, but you may want to think about stacking your Diamondbacks hitters tonight.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have placed P Carlos Frias on the 15-day disabled list due to a tightness in his lower back.

Fantasy Impact

Prior to the injury, Frias had been optioned to Triple-A. He could be recalled in September when rosters expand, but now that he's lost his spot in the team's rotation he's also lost his fantasy relevance.

Carlos Frias was unimpressive once again, as he allowed three earned runs on seven hits in five innings Tuesday night in Arizona. He walked three and only struck out one batter. 56-of-98 pitches were thrown for strikes.

Fantasy Impact

Frias is probably best suited for long-relief out of the bullpen. He throws hard but doesn't possess the secondary pitches to work successfully through a lineup multiple times.

Carlos Frias pitched five scoreless innings Thursday against the Cubs. He allowed seven hits, walked three, and struck out five. 53-of-83 pitches were thrown for strikes.

Fantasy Impact

Nice bounce back game for Frias. He's only relevant in the deepest of leagues though. He doesn't go deep into games and doesn't strike out enough batters. In addition, he is prone to the occasional blow up.
