2022 Fantasy Outlook
VerHagen was the first major-league signing after the end of the lockout, and he's back in affiliated ball after a two-year stint in Japan. The 32-year-old made 22 appearances for the Tigers in 2019 before heading overseas and had a 5.90 ERA over 58 innings while working mostly as a reliever. VerHagen posted a 3.49 ERA and and 216:62 K:BB across 208.2 frames during his two years in Japan to help pave his way back to MLB, and he could take a spot in the back of the Cardinals' starting rotation in 2022.

Reinstated from 10-day IL
VerHagen (hip) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Saturday.
ANALYSIS
VerHagen spent just over three weeks on the injured list, but he recently made a pair of rehab appearances and allowed a run on a hit and a walk while striking out five in 3.2 innings. The right-hander should pitch mainly in lower-leverage situations for the Cardinals now that he's back to full health.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2016
2015
VerHagen was perhaps one of the few somewhat bright spots to come out of what can only be described as a meltdown in Motown in 2014. He struggled early, but the converted starter started to get things under control in September. VerHagen's overall K:BB rate (13:14) won't draw any eyes, but only six of those walks came in September. He saw an almost 3 mph uptick in his fastball velocity as a reliever and delivered a power arsenal that finally started to dominate hitters. Verhagen's 2.05 ERA (26.1 IP), 1.22 WHIP and three September holds speak to his late-inning potential. He's 6-foot-6, so his fastball plays up even more because it's on hitters before they know it. Could he be a closer some day? Perhaps, but not in 2016. He'll be in the mix for late-inning work, though.
