Rest-of-Season Projections
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Mikolas has permitted more than 10 hits per nine innings two years in a row. No one in baseball has surrendered more base knocks over that time and only Patrick Corbin (5.41 ERA) has a worse ERA among qualifiers than Mikolas' 5.04 mark. The right-hander doesn't even induce ground balls at an above-average clip anymore, as he has just a 40.3 percent ground ball rate over the last two seasons after producing a 47.4 percent rate in his first four years with the Cardinals. Mikolas has made at least 32 starts three years running and is set to make $18.5 million in 2025 in his final year under contract, so he's a good bet to open the year in the St. Louis rotation. He doesn't bring much of anything to the table for fantasy, however. Read Past Outlooks

Falters in fourth frame Saturday
Mikolas allowed six runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out five batters over four innings in a no-decision against Cleveland on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Mikolas looked great through three scoreless frames, retiring nine of the 10 batters he faced. Things completely fell apart for him in the fourth, however, as the Guardians tagged him for six hits -- including two homers, two doubles and a triple -- to score six runs. Though he was allowed to finish that inning, Mikolas didn't return for the fifth, marking just the fourth time he's failed to complete at least five innings through 16 starts this season. The right-hander also gave up six or more earned runs for the third time, pushing his ERA up to a mediocre 4.76 across 81.1 frames.

Mikolas has been a solid big-league starter for the Cardinals since returning stateside in 2018 following a three-year run in the Korea Baseball Organization. Overall, he's registered a 3.78 ERA and 1.16 WHIP across 833 innings for St. Louis while managing a stingy 1.6 BB/9. He's topped 200 innings each of the last two years and has been a two-time All-Star wearing the birds on the bat. That all sounds nice, and is nice, but Mikolas is only a borderline option in fantasy because he allows too many balls in play and doesn't generate enough swing-and-miss with his pitch-to-contact approach. He made the most starts (35) in the majors last season but also surrendered the most hits (226) and struck out only 137 of the 860 batters he faced. Mikolas can offer volume, but it's not always the kind of volume you want in a standard scoring league.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Candidate to be moved
Mikolas is a player the Cardinals could deal before the trade deadline, Jim Bowden of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The Cardinals have gone 4-10 in June and are on the outside looking in for a playoff spot. If things continue to go in the wrong direction, they could deal Mikolas, who is in the final year of his contract. Mikolas has four quality starts in his last six outings and should carry some appeal as a veteran arm.
