8 entriesMatthews has reeled off three quality starts in a row with a 2.25 ERA over his last 20 innings. Still available in 62% of leagues — if you have a spot, grab him before he crests 50% owned after the break.
Three starts since his May 14 debut and he looks like the real thing. The walk rate (0.95 BB/9) was always his calling card and the strikeouts are a new addition. Available in 71% of leagues — in 14-teamers especially this should already be done.
The most criminally underowned available starter in standard leagues. His 17:2 K:BB ratio and sub-3.00 xERA should have him at 60% owned — not 38%. Two-start week in Week 10. Add before tonight's wire processes.
Already highlighted yesterday, but ownership is still low enough to grab in most formats. The xFIP (3.59) backs the ERA and the walk rate (0.95 BB/9) is elite for a pitcher who bounced between the majors and Triple-A for two seasons. He starts today vs. Pittsburgh — a good streaming spot.
Was optioned earlier in 2026 to retool his mechanics; has returned a noticeably different pitcher. Pablo López's season-ending elbow injury locked in a permanent rotation spot. Yahoo Sports is calling this the most under-rostered SP in baseball right now — hard to argue at 38%.
Recalled from Triple-A and looking like a legitimate rotation piece, not a placeholder. Two dominant starts (7 scoreless vs. Miami, 6 IP/2 ER vs. Houston) with elite command. The Twins are keeping him in the rotation. Must-add in 10- and 12-team leagues.
Pitcher List's top SP add. Matthews has been excellent since his recall — 7 shutout IP vs. the Marlins and a quality start against Houston, an 11:1 K:BB across 13 MLB innings. The control is genuinely elite and the role is locked in the Twins' rotation. Top-40 SP rest of season.
Pitcher List's priority SP add. Matthews has two starts this week and an elite slider (38.6% whiff rate). The Twins' rotation has been one of the top-3 in MLB. Last chance to add at sub-30% before he's locked in everywhere. Top-30 SP rest of season floor.
