2023 Projections
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Ferguson returned from Tommy John surgery last May after missing the entire 2021 season. The southpaw was demoted after just one appearance, but returned to the Dodgers a few weeks later and pitched a handful of outings before he experienced left forearm tendinitis. Los Angeles played it cautiously with Ferguson, who returned after a month and extended his scoreless streak to 19 games before finally permitting a run in mid August. He wasn't as sharp from that point forward, recording a 1.88 WHIP and 11 walks over his final 16 innings. Ferguson finished the season with a 12% walk rate, issuing 17 over 34.2 innings, but he only permitted one home run and continued his success against right-handed hitters (.173 BA since 2020). The lefty isn't near the top of the Dodgers' leverage ladder, but it's possible he enters the mix for saves at some point in 2023, especially if he goes on another scoreless streak like last year.

Settles on one-year deal
Ferguson and the Dodgers settled on a one-year, $1.1 million contract Friday to avoid arbitration, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The reliever was very effective in 2022, posting a 1.82 ERA and 1.15 WHIP with 37 strikeouts and seven holds over 34.2 innings in 37 appearances out of the Dodgers' bullpen. Ferguson will likely operate in a significant role again in 2023.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2021
2020
2019
Ferguson hoped to earn a spot in the Dodgers' 2020 rotation. He added a slider to expand his repertoire but he ended up coming out of the bullpen in 20 of 21 outings. The southpaw pitched well, fanning 27 while walking only three in 18.2 innings. Unfortunately, he was felled by a left elbow injury in mid-September, necessitating season-ending Tommy John surgery. It remains to be seen if Ferguson's aspirations to start are affected, but he's likely to miss all of 2021 rehabbing.
