Tim Cooney

Tim Cooney (1-0) took the place of Jaime Garcia on Friday night and did a heck of a job. The 24-year-old finished the game with seven innings pitched, five hits allowed, two earned runs and five strikeouts.

Fantasy Impact

It goes to show just how deep the St. Louis Cardinals roster is. Cooney was great against the Atlanta Braves tonight and finally picked up his first win of the season. Garcia is on track to return soon, but Cooney may see another start next week.

The Padres, who have lost 3 straight games, are on the road and against one of the best teams in the Major Leagues in the St. Louis Cardinals. St. Louis, who has lost their last 2 games, is sending Tim Cooney to the mound and Cooney only has one Major League start under his belt. In this start, he got knocked around, allowing 3 runs and 7 hits in 2 1/3 innings.

Fantasy Impact

Tim Cooney is lucky to go up against a San Diego Padres team that has lost three games in a row. The 24-year-old did not fare well in his first MLB appearance back on April 30, but he is looking for redemption. Cooney complied an impressive 4-3 record and 2.52 ERA after being sent down to the minors following his first taste of the big leagues. If you're looking for a sleeper in daily leagues, Cooney may be with a look.
