CBS Sports has identified 10 sleeper pitchers for fantasy managers seeking streaming options during Fantasy Baseball Week 27, covering 21–27 September. All were rostered in no more than 80 per cent of CBS Sports leagues, according to the article.

Jared Jones heads the list after recording a 1.50 ERA, 26 strikeouts and four walks across his previous three starts. CBS Sports highlighted projected match-ups against St Louis and Detroit, while noting he was likely to make both starts.

Walbert Urena was also among the leading recommendations. CBS Sports cited a 1.93 ERA and 0.86 WHIP across his past four starts, including three outings of at least seven innings.

The wider group comprises Tyler Mahle, Ryan Johnson, Peter Lambert, Andrew Alvarez, Cristian Javier, Bailey Ober, Zebby Matthews and Yusei Kikuchi. Their recommendations are based on a mix of projected opponents and recent performance indicators.

CBS Sports said its top two or three selections represented stronger endorsements, while the remaining options carried greater risk. Match-ups, rotation plans, player availability and roster percentages may change, and the recommendations are not guarantees of performance.
