Matt Garza

Brewers place Matt Garza on DL

The Brewers placed Matt Garza on the DL with shoulder tendinitis. They've recalled pitcher Corey Knebel to take his place on the roster.

What It Means:

Matt Garza has a respectable 1.68 nERD, placing him 74th among pitchers. He has a 5.55 ERA, but his 4.23 xFIP shows he's pitching better than his ERA suggests. He also has a 16.7% home run to fly ball ratio that is due to come down. Playing for the Brewers and only having 6.18 strikeouts per nine limits his fantasy potential, and will continue to when he returns from the DL.
