FACTS/FLUKES: Flaherty, L. Wade, McCullers, Kaprielian, Ahmed

Health issues overshadow Flaherty's skills... 2021 was a bit of a rebound season for Jack Flaherty (RHP, STL) after a disappointing 2020 performance, but still a far cry from the ace-like dominance he displayed in 2019, when he returned $29 in rotisserie value. His start to 2022 is being delayed by shoulder inflammation—is there any chance we'll see that elite starter again?
