2024 Fantasy Outlook
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. Read Past Outlooks
Grabs 10th win
Mikolas (10-11) allowed three runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out four over five innings to earn the win over the Giants on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Mikolas had a bumpy season at best, but he ended the year allowing a modest six runs over his last 16 innings, earning two wins with a 12:1 K:BB over that three-start span. He was able to contain the damage to the second inning Friday, and the Cardinals took the lead for good in the fourth. This is the third time in his career Mikolas has reached the 10-win mark, but he did it with a 5.35 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 122:25 K:BB over just 171.2 innings in 32 starts this year.

Now a two-time All-Star since transitioning back to Major League Baseball after a three-year run in Japan, Mikolas is not afraid to attack hitters. He fills up the strike zone -- Mikolas posted a 4.8 BB% last season -- while using his four-seamer, slider, sinker and curveball all at least 20% of the time. Hitters can't really guess against him, making him a tough plate appearance even if the stuff is modest (19.0 K% last season). The right-hander was forced to miss the shortened 2020 season due to a flexor tendon injury and missed extended time in 2021 with a calcification of that same flexor tendon. The fact that he was able to rebound for a 202.1-inning season suggests he's fine from a health standpoint, but the recent injury history should be accounted for when projecting innings. Drafting him to be much more than a streamer is ill advised.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could be traded
According to Katie Woo of The Athletic, the Cardinals may look to trade Mikolas during the offseason.
ANALYSIS
The veteran right-hander has a full no-trade clause with a $17.67 million salary for 2025, which is the final year of his contract. Mikolas had a 5.35 ERA and 1.28 WHIP over 32 starts in 2024, so the Cardinals could have some difficulty finding interested suitors at that salary.
