July 24, 2024 10:00 PM : Flaherty allowed an unearned run on three hits and two walks across six innings and did not factor into the decision Wednesday against the Guardians. He struck out six.
Analysis: In what was possibly his last start for Detroit, Flaherty made sure to leave a good impression. The righty lowered his season ERA to 2.95 and allowed zero earned runs for the fifth time this year. Flaherty is on a one-year deal, which has naturally made him a much-discussed trade candidate with the Tigers sitting at 50-53. He is currently penciled in to take the mound again Monday against the Guardians once more, but with the trade deadline on Tuesday, it remains to be seen if the 28-year-old will still be with the team by the time his next turn in the rotation comes around. If Flaherty is dealt, he should remain a strong fantasy asset given his performance so far this season.
