XZAVION CURRY NEWS

Logs short outing due to rain Curry pitched two innings against the Dodgers on Wednesday, allowing three runs on five hits and no walks while striking out one batter in a game that was suspended due to rain.

Impact Curry endured a rough first inning during which he gave up three runs on four hits. The right-hander bounced back with a one-hit, scoreless second frame but wasn't able to go any further since the game was suspended due to rain before a pitch was thrown in the third. Curry thus won't factor in the decision when the game is ultimately concluded as part of a doubleheader Thursday.

Tosses quality start Friday Curry came away with a no-decision in the second game of Friday's doubleheader against the Tigers, allowing one run on five hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out six.

Impact The right-hander delivered his first quality start of the season while establishing a new season high in strikeouts, but Curry was headed for his second loss until Cleveland took the lead in the eighth inning. Since getting stretched out, the 25-year-old has a 4.50 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 11:4 K:BB through 16 innings over his last three starts, working at least five frames each time. With Cal Quantrill (shoulder) expected to return next week, however, Curry's run in the rotation is likely coming to a close.

Tigers-Guardians postponed by rain Curry will not start Thursday against the Tigers after the game was postponed due to rain.

Impact There are storms passing through Cleveland, so Thursday's game has been moved into a traditional doubleheader Friday at Progressive Field. Curry should get the start in one half of the twin bill.

Struggles in Tampa Bay Curry was charged with five runs on six hits and two walks over five-plus innings Friday, taking a no-decision in a 9-8 loss to the Rays. He struck out one.

Impact Curry retired the side in order each of the first two innings but then labored in the third inning as the Rays sent eight men to the plate and scored three runs. He then bounced back with a scoreless fourth and fifth, but a double and then a Isaac Paredes two-run homer in the sixth ended his night. In addition to just one strikeout, Curry managed only two whiffs among 70 pitches. He could get another start because of the Guardians' injury situation, but fantasy managers can probably do better.

Pitches well in no-decision Curry did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing two runs on four hits over five innings against the White Sox. He struck out four.

Impact It was an efficient effort from Curry, who worked through five innings on just 65 pitches (45 for strikes), allowing just a pair of runs in the opening inning before dealing four scoreless frames. It was an encouraging performance from the 25-year-old Curry, who's likely to stick in the rotation while Cal Quantrill (shoulder), Triston McKenzie (elbow) and Shane Bieber (elbow) are all sidelined. Overall, Curry is 3-1 with an impressive 2.95 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 45:17 K:BB across 64 innings this season. He's currently lined up for a tough road matchup next week against the Rays.

Staying in rotation Curry will start Sunday's game against the White Sox and remain in the Guardians' rotation going forward, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

Impact He will start getting stretched out to remain in the rotation indefinitely, but Curry may not be able to go deep enough Sunday to qualify for the win. He has not logged more than three innings in any of his last 10 appearances and has a 2.86 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 17 strikeouts in 22 innings over that stretch.

Works in relief Tuesday Curry came on in relief of starter Gavin Williams in Tuesday's 2-0 loss to the Astros, covering 1.2 scoreless innings while striking out three and giving up two hits and no walks.

Impact Curry made three of his previous four appearances as a starter, though he never surpassed three innings in any of those outings. His usage in relief Tuesday likely suggests he won't be a candidate to start Saturday versus the White Sox, when the Guardians will need to add a new fifth member of the rotation to the mix. After building up to 7.1 innings in his latest rehab start last Sunday, Peyton Battenfield (shoulder) could be activated from the 60-day injured list to fill the open rotation spot. The door might not be closed on Curry starting this weekend, however, as Cleveland could require another replacement in the rotation for Sunday's series finale if Noah Syndergaard (lower leg) isn't ready to pitch.

AUGUST 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Takes first loss Curry (3-1) took the loss Friday, allowing one run on two hits and three walks over three innings against the White Sox. He did not record a strikeout.

Impact Luis Robert touched him up for a homer in the first inning. As has been the case for Curry in every outing since April, he was capped at three innings, and this time he was stuck with his first loss of the campaign. He's pitched well with a 2.98 ERA and 1.19 WHIP in 57.1 innings, but in this role Curry's fantasy utility is limited mostly to AL-only formats.

Draws start for Friday Curry will start Friday against the White Sox, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

Impact As long as Cleveland is able to avoid using Curry during Thursday's contest, the 25-year-old righty is now set to make his third start of the season. Curry holds a 2.98 ERA and 1.16 WHIP through 54.1 innings across 26 appearances, though he hasn't pitched more than three innings since April.

JULY 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Solid in another three-inning start Curry did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing one run on one hit and three walks over 3 innings against Philadelphia. He struck out three.

Impact After tossing three scoreless innings in his first start of 2023, Curry limited the Phillies to just one hit over three frames Sunday. Though the 24-year-old was a starter throughout his time in the minors and was only utilized as a starter last season with Cleveland, he's been pulled after 39 and 42 pitches in his last two outings. It's unclear if Curry will make another start, but fantasy managers shouldn't expect his pitch count to lighten too much if he gets another go at starting.

JULY 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Picks up another start Curry is slated to start Sunday's game against the Phillies at Progressive Field, Andre Knott of Bally Sports Ohio reports.

Impact After making his first 23 appearances of the season out of the bullpen, Curry stepped into the rotation Monday and kept the Pirates off the scoreboard while being limited to three innings and 39 pitches. Curry should be able to push into the 50-pitch and 4-to-5-inning range Sunday, and if he fares well again, the Guardians could opt to keep him in the rotation on a more permanent basis. If Curry struggles, however, the Guardians could reinstate Peyton Battenfield (shoulder) from the 60-day injured list the next time a fifth starter is required.

Tosses three shutout frames Curry did not factor into the decision Monday, allowing one hit and one walk over three scoreless innings against the Pirates. He struck out two.

Impact Curry took care of the "bulk opener" role Monday and cruised through three innings with ease. He's fired 7.2 scoreless frames with a 7:2 K:BB this month. The 24-year-old has registered a 2.86 ERA across 50.1 innings this season.

JULY 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Looks set to start Monday The Guardians list Curry as their probable starting pitcher for Monday's game against the Pirates.

Impact Curry was a starter throughout his minor-league career and received two starts during his first taste of the big leagues in 2022, but the Guardians have deployed him exclusively as a reliever thus far in 2023. Since he tossed a 20-pitch inning in relief Saturday in Texas and hasn't logged more than three frames in any appearance since beginning of May, Curry isn't expected to work deep enough into Monday's outing to qualify for the win. Instead, look for the Guardians to treat the series opener in Pittsburgh as more of a bullpen day.

Earns win in 14-inning contest Curry (3-0) allowed an unearned run on one hit over one inning to earn the win in Friday's 14-inning 10-9 win over the Astros.

Impact The Guardians weren't quite out of bullpen options by the 14th inning, but putting Curry in was likely to eat innings if the marathon game continued. He gave up an RBI single to Kyle Tucker, but Cleveland rallied for two runs to end the contest. Curry has earned all three of his wins this season over his last four appearances despite allowing three runs (two earned) over seven innings in that span. He's at a 2.51 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 21:7 K:BB over 32.1 innings overall as a long-relief option.

Collects second win Curry (2-0) allowed a run on a hit and a walk over one inning, earning the win Wednesday over the Orioles.

Impact Curry has a win in each of his last two appearances, though he saw a six-inning scoreless streak snapped Wednesday. The right-hander was able to get the decision after an unusually poor four-inning start from Shane Bieber in a game that ended 12-8. Curry is now at a 2.45 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 19:7 K:BB through 29.1 innings in a low-leverage role.

JUNE 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Snags first win Curry (1-0) allowed two hits over three scoreless innings to earn the win Sunday over the Cardinals.

Impact Curry has made six relief appearances in May, four of which have exceeded one inning. He kept the game close Sunday before Jose Ramirez walked it off with a two-run double. A starter in the minors, Curry has excelled in a long-relief role this season with a 2.22 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 19:6 K:BB over 28.1 innings. With an upcoming logjam in the Guardians' rotation with injury returns, it's possible Curry could be sent back to Triple-A Columbus despite his recent success in the majors.

Bypassed for spot start Curry covered four innings out of the bullpen in Tuesday's 11-2 loss to the Yankees, striking out three while giving up three earned runs on four hits and one walk.

Impact With Aaron Civale (oblique) landing on the 15-day injured list Monday, Curry looked to be a candidate to fill the opening in the rotation, but the right-hander's usage in long relief Tuesday took him out of the equation. Instead, Peyton Battenfield will get the first crack at replacing Civale in Wednesday's series finale versus the Yankees, while Curry and/or Triple-A Columbus starter Konnor Pilkington are likely next in line to join the rotation if Battenfield falters or if another Cleveland starter should join Civale on the IL.
