Season 2025 · 137.4 fantasy pts · 10 games · Pos rank #30

Durability Story · Watch

J.J. McCarthy has been durable enough to stay relevant, but not durable enough for managers to stop checking the report every week. Evidence check: injury reports across 2 different seasons; 5 games missed in the last three (2025: 5); 2025 was the rough one at 5 missed; longest on-report absence ran 3 weeks in 2025 (Wk 3–5); reinjury band sits at High. The news desk has been quieter lately, so the structured history is doing most of the talking.

For fantasy, J.J. is startable but fragile: keep a handcuff or streaming backup ready when the next soft-tissue note lands.

Based on injury history + recent reporting. Not a medical diagnosis.
