Jared Shuster will start the spring training opener for the White Sox against the Cubs.

Fantasy Impact

Shuster opened some games last season for the White Sox. He posted a 4.42 ERA over 39 appearances (four starts) last year.

Jared Shuster allowed just one hit over three scoreless innings in a 4-3 loss to the Angels.

Fantasy Impact

His performance was a bright spot in an otherwise disappointing outcome, as he managed to keep the Angels at bay with minimal damage. Despite this solid outing, Shuster's season-long metrics, including a 4.35 ERA and a 1.45 WHIP, suggest that he remains a risky fantasy option. His low strikeout rate of 6.7 K/9 and high FIP do not inspire confidence for future appearances. Fantasy managers should remain cautious, as his inconsistency could lead to more heartache than triumph in lineups.

Jared Shuster allowed three earned runs on five hits while striking out five over 2.2 innings in Monday's 5-3 loss to the Guardians.

Fantasy Impact

This outing was less than stellar for Shuster, who has been struggling to find consistency this season. With a season ERA now bloated to 4.66 and a WHIP of 1.52, his fantasy relevance remains limited to very deep leagues or those that count holds and strikeouts heavily. His K/9 of 6.7 isn't turning many heads, and with a FIP of 4.87 indicating his struggles aren't just bad luck, fantasy managers should be cautious.

Jared Shuster is listed as the starting pitcher for the White Sox Monday.

Fantasy Impact

Shuster will likely serve as an opener against the Guardians. Fantasy managers should expect Nick Nastrini to likely pitch as the bulk reliever Monday.

Jared Shuster allowed two runs on four hits over two innings on Thursday against the Guardians.

Fantasy Impact

Shuster allowed one run in the first inning and one run in the third inning before he was pulled. He figures to remain in his relief/opener role.
