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

Holds Athletics in check in win
Mikolas (7-10) earned the win Tuesday against the Athletics, allowing one run on five hits and one walk with no strikeouts in six innings.
Analysis
Despite the season-low zero strikeouts, it was still one of Mikolas' finer performances of the year. It was only his eighth quality start in 2025, and it also was just the ninth time that he surrendered one run or zero this season. Mikolas will be trying to build on Tuesday's performance when he takes a 4.89 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 86:33 K:BB over 136.1 innings into his next outing, which is slated for next week against the Mariners at pitcher-friendly T-Mobile Park.

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

Could draw trade interest
Mikolas could draw trade interest after adding three mph to his four-seamer following a mechanical adjustment, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
Analysis
Mikolas has permitted two runs with a 6:0 K:BB over 11 innings in his last two starts while showcasing increased velocity across the board. He still has a 4.83 ERA and 16.3 percent strikeout rate on the season along with a full no-trade clause, so even though the righty is trending up, a deal seems unlikely.
