Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2021
2016
Woodford has operated in a swingman role for the Cardinals during his three seasons, drawing the occasional spot start but mostly being reserved for long relief. He's been reasonably effective in both roles, most recently putting up a 2.23 ERA across 27 appearances - one start - in 2022. Woodford's already-low strikeout rate bottomed out to just 12.8 percent last season, but he combated that with a career-high 52 percent ground ball rate and he continued to do a good job throwing strikes. It's possible the right-hander could carve out some single-league value if he garners more than a few starts, but he looks to be pretty far down the rotation pecking order again.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Losing rotation spot?
Woodford appears in line to lose his spot in the Cardinals' rotation as Adam Wainwright returns from a groin injury, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
Analysis
The team has TBA listed Saturday versus the Tigers in what would be Woodford's spot. Presumably, they're waiting for Wainwright to get through his between-starts bullpen session with no issues before officially clearing him to return this weekend. Woodford -- who holds a 5.72 ERA in six starts -- will likely slide into a long relief role.
