Fri Feb 912:02Corey Kluber Announces His Retirement
Right-hander Corey Kluber officially announced his retirement from professional baseball on Friday. The 37-year-old starter was never really the same pitcher once he left the Cleveland Guardians, and injuries ended up derailing his career the last several seasons. He appeared in only 15 games (nine starts) for the Boston Red Sox in 2023 and had a rough 7.04 ERA (7.11 FIP), a 1.64 WHIP, one save, 21 walks and 42 strikeouts in 55 innings pitched. In his prime, though, Kluber was one of the better pitchers in the game and he made three straight All-Star appearances from 2016-18. Kluber also won two American League Cy Young awards in his 13-year MLB career, ultimately finishing with a 3.44 ERA (3.23 FIP) and 1.13 WHIP with a 25.8 percent strikeout rate in 1,641 2/3 innings pitched with Cleveland, the Texas Rangers, New York Yankees, Tampa Bay Rays and Red Sox.

Fri Nov 10 202319:18Corey Kluber Undecided On Future
Starting pitcher Corey Kluber is not sure if he will look to pitch in 2024. Kluber's option wasn't picked up by the Red Sox this offseason. The 37-year-old had a 7.11 FIP, the worst of his career. If he plans on pitching next season, the two-time Cy Young Award winner may have to settle for a minor league pact. Kluber pitched to a 3.54 FIP in 2022 over 31 starts, so if he can get another chance in 2024, he could be a fantasy option in AL or NL-only leagues at best.

Fri Nov 3 202318:52Justin Turner, Corey Kluber Become Free Agents
As expected, the Boston Red Sox declined their 2024 option on right-hander Corey Kluber (shoulder) on Friday, while third baseman/designated hitter Justin Turner declined his $13.4 million 2024 option. Both players are now free agents. Turner will receive a $6.7 million buyout. Turner is nearing 40 years of age (he's 38), but he didn't lack for production in his lone season in Beantown in 2023, hitting 23 home runs and driving in a career-high 96 runs. Fantasy managers shouldn't be expecting him to match that in 2024, but he will certainly have suitors. Kluber, 37, had a 7.04 ERA and 1.66 WHIP in 55 innings over 15 games (nine starts) in his first and only year in Boston before being shut down for good in mid-September with a shoulder injury. He should be ready for the start of 2024, but the two-time Cy Young winner doesn't appear to have much left and could be ticketed for a full-time relief role wherever he lands.

Sat Sep 16 202321:28Corey Kluber Done For The Season
Boston Red Sox right-hander Corey Kluber (shoulder) won't pitch again this season, according to MLB.com. The 37-year-old was in the middle of a rehab assignment but will instead focus on getting healthy during the offseason from shoulder inflammation that's kept him on the shelf since June 20. Kluber's first season in Boston wasn't pretty, as he sported a 7.04 ERA and 1.64 WHIP with 42 punchouts over 55 innings split between the rotation and bullpen. The former MVP will likely enter 2024 as a free agent, as the Red Sox hold a club option, and he'll look to start fresh elsewhere.

Mon Sep 4 202312:21Corey Kluber Making Good Progress
Boston Red Sox right-hander Corey Kluber (shoulder), who last pitched in a minor-league rehab outing on July 26, is making progress. Manager Alex Cora said Kluber will throw a bullpen session soon, and the hope is that if all goes well, he will go on another rehab assignment. Cora said on Saturday that the Red Sox hope Kluber can return to pitch again in the big leagues in 2023. The 37-year-old veteran isn't guaranteed to return this year, though, and he should remain on the waiver wire in all fantasy leagues the rest of the way. In 15 appearances (nine starts) for Boston before his injury, he posted a rough 7.04 ERA, 1.64 WHIP, one save and 42 strikeouts in 55 innings pitched.

Sat Aug 26 202314:55Red Sox Move Corey Kluber To 60-Day Injured List
The Boston Red Sox transferred right-handed pitcher Corey Kluber (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list on Friday. The 37-year-old has been shut down from throwing since his body didn't respond well to a minor-league rehab appearance on July 26. Kluber started playing catch this week, but he remains without a return timetable. The veteran righty was sent the 15-day IL on June 21 with right shoulder inflammation, but he is unlikely to make a significant fantasy impact the rest of the way. Kluber drags a troublesome 7.04 ERA and 1.64 WHIP with 42 strikeouts across 55 innings this season.

Sat Jul 29 202311:00Corey Kluber Put “On Hold” After Second Rehab Game
Boston Red Sox right-handed pitcher Corey Kluber (shoulder) did not respond well to his most recent rehab game with Triple-A Worcester on July 26. Red Sox skipper Alex Cora says the 37-year-old's next step is not clear at the moment. "He was throwing the ball well; he just wasn't able to recover the way he wanted", Cora said of Kluber. The veteran righty has been sidelined with right shoulder inflammation since June 21. It sounds as though Kluber may have experienced a hitch in the recovery road, but there's not yet official designation on his status. Fantasy managers should probably look elsewhere for a stash, anyway, as the former ace shows an unappealing 7.04 ERA and 1.64 WHIP with 42 strikeouts in 55 innings this year.

Wed Jul 19 202309:00Corey Kluber Set For Rehab Game Friday
Boston Red Sox right-hander Corey Kluber (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment on Friday, according to MLB.com. The plan is for him to throw two innings of work. Kluber has been on the shelf since late June after suffering right shoulder inflammation. Before the injury, the two-time Cy Young award winner struggled to a 7.04 ERA, 1.64 WHIP, and a career-low 16.3% walk rate over 55 innings, and he was eventually moved to the bullpen. With the club's deteriorating rotation, the Sox are keeping their options open and might use him as a starting pitcher again when he returns, likely in August. Fantasy managers can ignore this news, though, as he provides no value in any format.

Mon Jul 10 202310:00Corey Kluber Throws Bullpen Session
Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Corey Kluber (shoulder) was able to throw a 30-pitch bullpen session on Sunday. The expectation is that Kluber will throw another bullpen session on Thursday before rejoining the team. The veteran right-hander has been sidelined since late June due to right shoulder inflammation. Before that, Kluber was posting a horrendous 7.04 ERA, 1.64 WHIP with a 42/22 K/BB ratio over 55 innings. He has been working out of the bullpen lately because he can't be trusted in the rotation right now. It's hard to imagine Kluber having consistent fantasy value this season.

Wed Jun 21 202319:02Corey Kluber Lands On 15-Day Injured List
Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Corey Kluber (shoulder) has been placed on the 15-day injured list on Wednesday. This comes a day after Kluber was crushed in a three-inning out versus the Minnesota Twins. The 37-year-old was recently demoted to the bullpen after a horrendous beginning to the season. Hopefully, some time off will help Kluber get back on track. In the meantime, Brandon Walter has been recalled and will take the mound versus the Twins on Thursday.

Fri Jun 2 202315:21Corey Kluber Activated From Paternity List
Boston Red Sox pitcher Corey Kluber has been activated from the paternity leave list on Friday. The veteran right-hander has been away from the team for the last couple of days. It appears he's ready for the weekend series against the Tampa Bay Rays, but his role is unclear. The right-hander was recently demoted to the bullpen after his rough start to the season. However, the 37-year-old might be asked to take the ball for one of the games during Saturday's doubleheader. Regardless, Kluber doesn't have much fantasy appeal right now.

Wed May 24 202316:05Corey Kluber Moving To The Bullpen
Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora announced on Wednesday that the team will move right-handed veteran Corey Kluber to the bullpen in the wake of Tanner Houck's latest strong performance. Kluber has earned a trip to the 'pen by going 2-6 with a 6.26 ERA (6.59 FIP), 1.54 WHIP, 18 walks and 34 strikeouts in 41 2/3 innings over nine starts for the BoSox. The 37-year-old hasn't really been a fantasy option in mixed leagues in 2023, and now he's definitely off the fantasy radar now that he'll be pitching in a relief role for at least the foreseeable future. Kluber is unlikely to pitch in high-leverage situations, so we should expect to see him in more of a multi-inning mop-up role for the time being.

Mon May 22 202309:16Corey Kluber Expected To Remain In Rotation
Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Corey Kluber will remain in the starting rotation, according to manager Alex Cora. The right-hander dropped to 2-6 with a 6.26 ERA and 1.54 WHIP following Sunday's loss to the San Diego Padres. He continues to struggle through his first nine starts of 2023. The Red Sox are expected to get Garrett Whitlock back at some point this week. That being said, it makes sense that the Red Sox would pull Kluber from the rotation in favor of Whitlock. Possibly, the 37-year-old will bounce back, but for now, fantasy managers can continue to ignore him.

Thu Apr 20 202300:56Corey Kluber Records His Fourth Loss Wednesday
Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Corey Kluber was charged with another loss Wednesday, losing to Minnesota 10-4. Kluber pitched in five innings and allowed seven runs on six hits. He struck out four Twins batters while giving up two walks in the contest. The 37-year-old is now 0-4 with an 8.50 ERA, a 1.50 WHIP, and a .260 OBA. Throughout his career, Kluber has been known not to give up a lot of walks. Unfortunately, he has given up eight bases on balls so far, which has to be concerning to fantasy managers who have him rostered.

Wed Mar 15 202312:06Corey Kluber Named Opening Day Starter
Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora said that right-hander Corey Kluber will be the team's Opening Day starter against the Baltimore Orioles on March 30. Cora said that he informed Kluber of the decision back in January. With left-hander Chris Sale (wrist) recovering from injuries that cut his season short once again in 2022, the BoSox will go with the 36-year-old Kluber to kick things off this year. Kluber has bounced around the league in recent seasons and isn't the same pitcher that made three straight All-Star appearances from 2016-18 with the Cleveland Guardians. The two-time Cy Young winner is now an injury risk for fantasy managers and had a below-average strikeout rate in 2022.

Sat Feb 18 202311:20Corey Kluber Throws First Bullpen Session
Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Corey Kluber threw his first bullpen session of spring training on Friday. The veteran right-hander made 31 starts for the Tampa Bay Rays last season and posted a 4.34 ERA in his first healthy season since 2018. "In that regard, just the mental side of knowing I'm still capable of doing that," Kluber, who turns 37 in April, said of coming off a healthy year. Still, there's plenty of injury risk with almost the entire Red Sox rotation, including Kluber, a two-time Cy Young winner. Kluber has always been good at limiting walks, but his strikeout rate tumbled in 2022 despite his overall solid campaign for his age. Fantasy managers should absolutely not be expecting a return to dominance, especially at Fenway Park.

Wed Dec 28 202213:03Red Sox, Corey Kluber Agree On One-Year Deal
The Boston Red Sox and free-agent right-hander Corey Kluber agreed to a one-year deal with a team option for the 2024 season on Wednesday, according to sources familiar with the agreement. The New York Post's Jon Heyman reports that the deal is for $10 million, with an $11 million option for 2024. The three-time All-Star and two-time Cy Young winner spent the 2022 season pitching for the Tampa Bay Rays, going 10-10 with a 4.34 ERA (3.57 FIP), 1.21 WHIP and 20.2 percent strikeout rate in 31 starts covering 164 innings pitched. The 36-year-old was respectable for the Rays last year, but injuries will be a concern for fantasy managers, as well as his decrease in strikeout rate and velocity. And staying in the tough American League East in a hitter's park won't be easy as he nears the end of his career.

Mon Oct 3 202214:42Corey Kluber Strikes Out Four Against Astros On Sunday
Tampa Bay Rays starter Corey Kluber struck out four batters in five innings of work in his most recent outing on Sunday against the Houston Astros. The veteran also gave up six hits, a pair of runs, a home run, and a walk. Kluber needed 78 pitches to get through the five innings and registered 11 swinging strikes and a 28% CSW rate. In 31 starts this season, the right-hander has pitched to a 4.34 ERA, a 3.57 FIP, 139 strikeouts, and 21 walks in 164 innings for Tampa Bay.

Wed Jun 1 202212:31Corey Kluber Still Looking For Consistency In 2022
Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Corey Kluber will be looking to build off his fantastic start from Saturday's 3-1 win over the New York Yankees during Thursday's series finale against Kluber's former team, the Texas Rangers. Kluber threw six innings on Saturday while giving up one earned run on three hits while striking out five batters. It's been very Jekyll and Hyde for Kluber in 2022, as the veteran cannot seem to put together consistently good performances. In May in particular, Kluber threw 24 innings while giving up 13 earned runs on 26 hits, including five home runs. Kluber is also struggling away from Tropicana Field, giving up 12 earned runs on 23 hits over 17 innings. The numbers show that Kluber is struggling in night games, giving up 15 earned runs on 27 hits over 20 innings. With the Rangers winning six out of their last seven games, be wary of starting Kluber on Thursday night.

Mon May 16 202222:00Corey Kluber Strikes Out Eight Monday
Tampa Bay Rays right-hander Corey Kluber pitched well in a 3-2 loss to the Detroit Tigers on Monday. Kluber allowed two runs over six innings while striking out eight and allowing four hits, including a two-run homer to Jonathan Schoop. He induced 14 swinging strikes on 90 pitches in the game. The veteran escaped with a no-decision in the contest, leaving his record at 1-2 on the season. Kluber is lined up to take on the Baltimore Orioles on Sunday.
