Out with shoulder fatigue
Bickford was placed on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with right shoulder fatigue.
ANALYSIS
Bickford hasn't pitched since Sept. 23 when he surrendered four runs (three earned) across 1.1 innings, including Albert Pujols' 700th home run. The right-hander will miss the rest of the regular season and will be eligible to be activated during the playoffs; however, even if healthy, his 4.72 ERA doesn't make much of a case for him to be included on the postseason roster.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2017
2016
Bickford is one of the many relievers we now see in baseball that takes two pitches, throws them with high effort and fills a niche in a club's bullpen. In Bickford's case, his job is to come in to face righties while slinging fastballs and sliders their way in short spurts. He worked fewer innings than games played, but picked up a handful of decisions in leverage situations with solid ratios. The repertoire pretty much limits him to a righty specialist insomuch as any reliever can be a specialist with the three-batter minimum rule these days. He has little fantasy relevance unless several dominoes in front of him fall.
