Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Gavin Stone made easy work of the Miami Marlins lineup on Wednesday. The right-hander threw seven strong innings while allowing only one run in the win. Stone gave up a solo blast to Bryan De La Cruz in the fourth inning, but he was excellent outside of that. The 25-year-old holds a 3.55 ERA, 1.26 WHIP, and 27/13 K/BB ratio across 38 innings this season. He'll get a tougher matchup versus the San Francisco Giants during his next start.

Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Gavin Stone has a tough matchup on his hands on Friday as he takes the mound for a start against the high-octane Atlanta Braves. The 25-year-old has had an uneven start to this season that includes a 4.68 ERA through five starts but was excellent his last time out when he tossed seven innings of one-run ball with just two hits and two walks allowed in a win over the Toronto Blue Jays. However, Stone has just 18 strikeouts and 12 walks surrendered in his 25 innings of work on the season after striking out just 22 across 31 innings in his debut last season. Fantasy managers will continue to look for more punchouts from the righty after posting big-time strikeout totals in his minor-league tenure.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Gavin Stone picked up the win in Saturday's 5-2 victory over the Padres. Stone threw six-and-two-thirds innings, allowing five hits and a walk while striking out four. All of the hits and the walk came after the sixth inning as the 25-year-old twirled five perfect innings before that. He'll look to build on this outing, and now has a 6.14 ERA, 1.57 WHIP, and a 15:5 K:BB on the season. The Dodgers will need him to step up with news that Bobby Miller will hit the IL. The righty's next start lines up with the Mets next week in L.A.

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts has named starting pitcher Gavin Stone the teams No. 5 starter to enter the 2024 season. Stone, 25, has been a top pitching prospect for the Dodgers over the past few seasons and had a dominate Cactus League to secure the fifth spot in the Dodgers rotation. Over 9 2/3 innings, Stone struck out nine with one walk and one run allowed. Stone made his big-league debut this past season and struggled with a 9.00 ERA, 22 strikeouts and 13 walks in 31 innings over eight outings (four starts). Despite his rough debut in 2023, Stone worked hard this offseason to improve his pitch mix and even gained around 10-15 pounds. The sample size is small, but his spring results are eye popping. On one of the best teams in the league, Stone should be able to provide managers with plenty of victories to go along with strikeouts. With an ADP of 367, Stone should be around for managers in the deepest of leagues and is well worth the gamble with his big upside at a low cost.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Gavin Stone appears to have a leg up on the fifth rotation spot after manager Dave Roberts announced that fellow starter Emmet Sheehan would start the season on the IL. Michael Grove could be in the mix as well. As for Stone, he pitched well in the minors up through the 2022 season, but in 2023 he had a 4.74 ERA and 17.2% K-BB% across 19 Triple-A starts, and wasn't particularly effective in his four MLB starts either. Nevertheless, there's some value in pitching for the Dodgers who should provide plenty of run support. Stone has made three spring appearances so far (two starts), allowing three hits, one earned run, and one walk while striking out four over five and two-thirds innings pitched (1.59 ERA).
