Rest-of-Season Projections
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Now a two-time All-Star since transitioning back to Major League Baseball after a three-year run in Japan, Mikolas is not afraid to attack hitters. He fills up the strike zone -- Mikolas posted a 4.8 BB% last season -- while using his four-seamer, slider, sinker and curveball all at least 20% of the time. Hitters can't really guess against him, making him a tough plate appearance even if the stuff is modest (19.0 K% last season). The right-hander was forced to miss the shortened 2020 season due to a flexor tendon injury and missed extended time in 2021 with a calcification of that same flexor tendon. The fact that he was able to rebound for a 202.1-inning season suggests he's fine from a health standpoint, but the recent injury history should be accounted for when projecting innings. Drafting him to be much more than a streamer is ill advised. Read Past Outlooks

Matches season high for strikeouts
Mikolas (9-13) allowed three runs on seven hits and struck out 10 without walking a batter over seven innings to earn the win Sunday over the Reds.
ANALYSIS
Mikolas matched his season high with 10 strikeouts. He logged quality starts in his last two outings of the season after an inconsistent campaign overall, which saw the veteran right-hander post a 4.78 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 137:39 K:BB across 201.1 innings. Mikolas is under contract for 2024, so he should be a mid-rotation starter for the Cardinals after enduring the worst of his five years with the club in 2023.

2013
Mikolas has a 3.54 ERA, a 1.15 WHIP and 29 wins in 429.1 innings with the Cardinals and is a lock for the rotation. That alone makes him a viable source of innings in deeper mixed leagues, especially given the Cardinals' division and home park. His 18.3% strikeout rate over that span is mediocre, but his 4.1 BB% is excellent. This pitch to contact style works well in St. Louis, given the quality of the defenders behind him.
