Karstens will make one more start: Pirates SP Jeff Karstens, who had seemingly wrapped up his season with a win over the Cubs on Wednesday, will get another start in the season finale Sunday at Cincinnati. A rib cage injury will keep RHP Kevin Hart, the unofficially projected starter, from making the start. Karstens is 4-5 with a 5.37 ERA in 38 games, including 12 starts.

Fantasy Analysis

Karstens is better as a swingman than a full-time starter, but the Pirates might need him to start again next season if they don't have enough experienced options to fill out their starting rotation. If so, he'll be just an NL-only option.
