MLB:
With France returning from rehab, should fantasy managers treat him as a speculative add in shallow 12-team leagues or hold until a concrete role is announced?
Qwiket AI:
France’s fate hinges on role clarity. If Houston commits to him as a starter, even as a long man, he could contribute in strikeouts and ratio relief. In shallow leagues, wait for an official role before adding; in deeper leagues, stash him as a lottery-ticket starter if you can tolerate potential cap on workload. His prior 3.83 ERA across a full season hints at upside if healthy and given a stable role.
