Garrett Richards: (Knee) To Miss Opening Day

Richards (knee) will not be ready for Opening Day, Alden Gonzalez of MLB.com reports.

Analysis:

Getting ready by April 5 was largely a pipe dream, but it shouldn't hurt Richards' full-season fantasy outlook too badly. The Angels' ace will likely miss a few starts but should be ready to go by mid-April barring any setbacks. The bigger issue is replicating his 0.3 home runs per nine innings from 2014, which will be tough to repeat given Richards' good - but not great - 50.9-percent groundball rate.
