Fantasy Baseball Week 9 Preview: Two-start pitcher rankings highlight Corey Kluber, Charlie Morton

Which two-start pitchers should you be looking to add to your lineup?

Every weekend, Scott White ranks the two-start pitchers for the upcoming week, sorting them by how usable they are. The standard for a two-start sleeper is higher in categories leagues, where ERA and WHIP need to be protected, than in points leagues, where volume is a higher priority. That is indicated in the tiers below.

Here are the two-start pitchers for Fantasy Week 9 (May 24-30):
