Chris Archer Undergoes Surgery
Nov. 27, 2018
.Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Chris Archer (hernia) underwent surgery on Tuesday to fix a bilateral hernia. The recovery time for this procedure is six weeks, so he's expected to be on schedule for the start of spring training in 2019. Archer was mostly a disappointment in 2018 between the Rays and Pirates, going 6-8 with a 4.31 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 162 strikeouts in 148 1/3 innings over 27 starts. With better health, the right-hander should be able to bounce back some and still has strikeout upside as a second fantasy starter.

Chris Archer Continues To Struggle In Pittsburgh
Aug. 27, 2018
Since moving to the Pittsburgh Pirates from the Tampa Bay Rays, starting pitcher Chris Archer has been much worse. In his five games with the Pirates he hasn't pitched more than five innings in any contest. That's due mostly to allowing at least five hits in each of those games. He hasn't thrown a shutout game yet regardless of how many innings he has pitched. Archer is regarded as a great talent, but he has a 6.45 ERA in August. That brings him to a 4.72 ERA on the season. With the amount of time left this year, it may not be wise to start Archer in fantasy unless he has a very favorable matchup.

Chris Archer Not Great In First Pirates Start
Aug. 3, 2018
Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Chris Archer was less than great in Friday's start against the St. Louis Cardinals. Archer went 4 1/3 innings and gave up four earned runs on seven hits. He walked four batters and struck out six. Archer pitched around potential disaster all night, including having a lead off baserunner in all five innings he pitched. He is 3-4 with a 4.49 ERA in 18 starts. Archer will be a one-start pitcher the week of Aug. 6 with a day game at Coors Field in Denver on Wednesday.

Chris Archer To Start For Pirates On Friday
Aug. 1, 2018
New Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Chris Archer is expected to make his debut on Friday against the St. Louis Cardinals. Archer's overall numbers aren't that impressive, as he holds a 3-5 record with a 4.31 ERA and a 102/31 K/BB ratio on the season. However, over his last 43 1/3 innings, Archer has pitched to a 2.70 ERA and a 50/16 K/BB ratio. His numbers show that he is a much better pitcher facing non-AL East foes. Archer should be the Pirates' ace for the rest of the season until 2021 and makes for an excellent play whenever he's on the mound.
Chris Archer Pitched Well Against NL Central
Jul. 31, 2018
The Pittsburgh Pirates newest addition, Chris Archer, has good numbers against the National League Central. He pitched against the division in 2017 and went 1-0 in three starts, with 23 strikeouts, six walks, and five earned runs in 19 innings. His best start came against the Milwaukee Brewers. Archer has been less than stellar this year with a 4.31 ERA and a 1.39 WHIP resulting in a 3-5 record. Hopefully a new place will help salvage the season for Archer.

Austin Meadows, Tyler Glasnow Main Pieces in Chris Archer Trade
Jul. 31, 2018
Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Austin Meadows and starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow appear to be the main two pieces in the Pirates deal to acquire Chris Archer. It appears there will be a third piece involved but that player is still to be decided. The fantasy value of both Meadows and Glasnow will largely depend on the role they play for the rest of the season. Glasnow has not started a game for the Pirates this year, but with the Rays method of using relievers to start games, he could very easily get stretched out while remaining in the majors. Meadows will need to assert himself among what has become a somewhat crowded Rays outfield this season.
Chris Archer Traded To Pittsburgh
Jul. 31, 2018
Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Chris Archer has been traded to the Pittsburgh Pirates. Both Tyler Glasnow and Austin Meadows appear to be headed in the opposite direction, along with a third piece which has not yet been announced. Archer had been due to pitch Thursday for the Rays, but with the Pirates off on Thursday it may be Friday that he makes his debut. Archer's fantasy owners will be hoping that a new team can help Archer improve in what has been the worst year of his career since he was a rookie. Archer has a 4.31 ERA with 102 strikeouts in 96 innings this season.
Pirates Most Likely Destination for Chris Archer
Jul. 31, 2018
Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Chris Archer is looking more likely to be heading to the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Pirates appear to have emerged as a front runner as we close in on the deadline. Archer should receive a boost from going to the National League and getting to face the pitcher each time through the lineup. Over the course of his career Archer has generally been better at home, with a 3.33 ERA compared to 4.05 on the road. However, in 2018 Archer has performed better away from Tropicana field, with a 3.95 road ERA compared to 4.85 at home
Three Teams In The Mix For Chris Archer
Jul. 31, 2018
The Brewers, Braves and Pirates are all strongly in the mix to acquire Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Chris Archer at the deadline on Tuesday, according to sources. The Dodgers and other teams are lurking, though. Even though Archer hasn't pitched particularly well this year and has been injured, he's attractive to teams because of his team-friendly deal. It looks like Tampa is leaning toward dealing him if they can get a strong return.
Padres' Pursuit Of Chris Archer Fading
Jul. 31, 2018
The San Diego Padres' pursuit of Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Chris Archer has lost momentum, although things could change on Tuesday up against the trade deadline, according to a source. It always seemed like a long shot for the Padres to actually land Archer. The Rays have been unsure if they want to move Archer because of his team-friendly deal, but they would obviously move him if they received the right package of talent. Stay tuned.
Pirates Linked To Chris Archer
Jul. 31, 2018
The Pittsburgh Pirates were linked to Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Chris Archer as of late Monday night, according to a source. The Pirates have made a huge push in the wild-card chase and have suddenly turned into buyers at the trade deadline. Archer has been a bit of a disappointment this year, but he's still attractive for the long term, mainly because of his team-friendly deal.
Chris Archer Solid In Last Outing Before Deadline
Jul. 27, 2018
Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Chris Archer made his last outing before the trade deadline Friday versus Baltimore. He would go six innings allowing four runs (three earned). His strikeout count was a bit disappointing at three considering he had 13 Ks in his last outing. There have been several teams inquiring about Archer so there is a chance that he gets traded. If he does, his value will depend on the landing spot. Archer has been a strong strikeout artist in his career so, with the right offensive team behind him, his value could go to the next level of value.
Cardinals Showing Interest in Chris Archer
Jul. 27, 2018
The long list of teams interested in Tampa Bay Rays starter Chris Archer gets bigger on Friday. There is a chance that Archer is making his last start for the Rays on Friday. The Cardinals are without some key starters including ace Carlos Martinez (oblique). It appears the Cards are not throwing in the towel and are in on the Archer sweepstakes. It's unclear the amount of interest the Cardinals truly have, but adding Archer could be a solid long-term investment for St. Louis.
Padres Not Willing To Trade Top Prospects For Chris Archer
Jul. 25, 2018
The San Diego Padres have inquired about Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Chris Archer, but they are unwilling to include prospects Fernando Tatis Jr. or MacKenzie Gore, who are their top two prospects. San Diego is believed to be willing to give up one or two of their next three prospects from MLB.com's top-30 list. Tatis is having surgery on a fractured thumb, but he should be back next year and had 16 homers and 16 steals at Double-A. Gore, a left-hander, is just 1-5 with a 4.26 ERA and 1.29 ERA, but he does have 49 strikeouts in 38 innings with High-A Fort Wayne this year. Archer has been inconsistent and injured this year, but his strikeout upside remains high and the Padres would be getting a team-friendly deal for a player under club control. This could be a win-win for both sides.
Padres Making Push For Chris Archer
Jul. 24, 2018
The San Diego Padres are making a "big push" to land Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Chris Archer. However, any potential deal looks like a long shot because his team-friendly deal pays him just $7.5 million next year with club options for 2021 and 2022. The Padres would have to part with several young prospects in order to land him. Archer has dealt with injuries this year and has been up and down, but he's still striking out 9.9 hitters per nine innings and had a season-high 13 punchouts his last time out. He'd certainly help bolster San Diego's pitching staff for at least the next several seasons.
Yankees Inquiring On Chris Archer
Jul. 23, 2018
The New York Yankees are among the teams that have asked about Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Chris Archer. However, other teams are skeptical that the Rays will move Archer, who is on a team-friendly deal, within their division. Archer has been rather disappointing for fantasy owners in 2018, mainly due to injuries. He has a 4.30 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 99 strikeouts in 90 innings. He did strikeout a season-high 13 in six innings against the Marlins on Sunday, and he can seriously increase his trade value if he continues to pitch well in his last two starts before the trade deadline.
Chris Archer Fans 13 Sunday Versus Miami
Jul. 22, 2018
Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Chris Archer struck out 13 batters Sunday versus the Marlins. He would last six innings allowing four runs (three earned) and leave trailing. Archer was saved from taking the loss when the Rays came back to win in the bottom of the ninth. He has been speculated to be on the trade market and as such, this performance probably helped the cause. Archer has the talent to be a top pitcher but his stats outside of strikeouts do not show an elite pitcher this season.

Rays Seeing Significant Trade Interest in Chris Archer
Jul. 21, 2018
The Tampa Bay Rays are reportedly seeing significant trade interest in starting pitcher Chris Archer. Archer is one of the best young pitchers available on the market and is under team control for another three seasons. The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal notes however, that Archer needs to show that he has returned to pre-injury form in his final two starts before the deadline if he were to be moved. Archer has pitched to a 3-4 record with a 4.29 ERA and a 86/29 K/BB ratio in 2018. Teams like the Brewers have been linked to Archer in the past, but this time Rosenthal doesn't divulge any potential suitors. How Archer does in his next two starts will determine if he will be on the move prior to the July 31 trade deadline.
Chris Archer Could Be Nice Trade Chip For Rays
Jul. 20, 2018
The Tampa Bay Times' Marc Topkin thinks the Tampa Bay Rays should trade starting pitcher Chris Archer and his team-friendly contract right now. He's owed just $27.5 million over the next three seasons. Archer wants to win right now, but he's also been injured this year and will need to pitch better before the trade deadline in order to attractive interested teams. He's gone 3-4 with a 4.29 ERA this year and missed around a month with an abdominal strain. The Rays also won't get as much for Archer now as they could have several years ago. It remains to be seen if Tampa will put Archer on the block. One thing is certain: He'd be a lot more attractive for fantasy owners on a better team.
Chris Archer With Short Outing Saturday Versus Minnesota
Jul. 14, 2018
Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Chris Archer made his second start since his return Saturday versus the Twins. The hope was that he would go fairly deep but he lasted only 4 1/3 innings allowing two runs (one earned). He was fairly solid but the Twins worked some long at-bats and got him up to 93 pitches when he was pulled. Archer should continue to build up his stamina and coaches' faith going forward. He has the potential to be a SP2 going forward.
