Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Jared Jones posted an impressive 35 strikeouts in 25 innings the last two months. With his latest performance, Eric Samulski explains why fantasy managers should consider him in 2027.

The Pirates hadn’t won five straight games since March 31-April 5. After winning the series finale against the Brewers on Thursday and sweeping the Royals over the weekend, Tuesday’s game put Pittsburgh in the win column for the fifth straight game once again.

Jared Jones surrendered three runs and struck out nine in five innings Wednesday against the Brewers.
