A timeline for a return for Overton is unclear at the moment. Luke Weaver has been called up and will likely take Overton's spot in the rotation for the time being.

Connor Overton pitched three innings, allowing five earned runs on five hits and three walks during Cincinnati's loss to Philadelphia on Friday.

Fantasy Impact

Overton didn't have a strong start against the Phillies, allowing five earned runs over just three innings of work. He only generated three swinging strikes and wasn't able to produce a strikeout. Overton hasn't been able to pitch more than four innings this season and is currently not an option in mixed leagues. On the season he is 0-1 with an unsightly 11.45 ERA and 2.36 WHIP with nine strikeouts through three starts. His next turn up comes against the Rays on Wednesday.

Connor Overton pitched four innings, allowing four runs on six hits and three walks while striking out four during Cincinnati's win over Philadelphia on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact

Overton had another rough outing on Sunday and has now allowed 14 hits and nine earned runs through just eight innings of work. He has a 10.13 ERA and 2.25 WHIP on the season and isn't a recommended start in his next matchup against the Phillies on Friday.

Connor Overton pitched four innings, allowing five earned runs on eight hits and a walk while striking out five during Cincinnati's win over Chicago on Monday.

Fantasy Impact

Overton laboured through the first inning, allowing three singles and a three-run home run to Cody Bellinger. Before being sidelined for the last few months of the season last year, Overton pitched well, producing a 2.73 ERA and 0.97 WHIP and could provide modest value for fantasy managers in deep leagues this season. His next turn up is a road tilt against the Phillies on Sunday.

The Cincinnati Reds received news Monday that Connor Overton is expected to miss six to eight weeks with a stress reaction in his lower back.

Fantasy Impact

This news likely comes as a surprise to both the Reds and fantasy managers. According to the report, Overton had been pitching with the stress reaction, even as recently as his last start on May 17th in Cleveland. Fantasy managers will need to find a suitable replacement for the time being.
