Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Zerpa opened the season on the 60-day IL with a tendon issue in his left shoulder. He was activated just after the All-Star break and optioned to Triple-A Omaha. Zerpa posted a 4.73 ERA over six starts (some during rehab), spanning 26.2 innings before he was called up by the Royals to begin August. Zerpa served as a primary pitcher, traditional starter, and reliever over the final two months. Zerpa only walked eight batters in 42.2 frames, but he fanned just 36. The main reason he recorded a high 4.85 ERA was yielding seven homers. The Royals have fortified their rotation with veterans Seth Lugo and Michael Wacha, returning Zerpa to a swingman role. With his lack of dominance, and proclivity for allowing the long ball, Zerpa lacks fantasy charm.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Option to start Tuesday
Zerpa is a possibility to get the start Tuesday for Kansas City, reports Anne Rogers of MLB.com.
ANALYSIS
The Royals have not yet named a starter for Tuesday's contest, and Zerpa and Carlos Hernandez are both options. Zerpa tossed one inning and 13 pitches Friday for Triple-A Omaha. Earlier this month, the 22-year-old made two appearances, one start, for the Royals after serving as a starter for Double-A Northwest Arkansas to begin the season. Daniel Lynch is on the injured list with a blister, and Jonathan Heasley, out with a shoulder injury, is set to begin a rehab assignment Sunday, so if Zerpa gets the call Tuesday it's possible he could have a two-start week.
