Rest-of-Season Projections
Elects free agency
Ellis (shoulder) elected free agency Friday instead of reporting to Triple-A Norfolk, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.
ANALYSIS
Ellis was outrighted to Triple-A on Sunday, but he has decided to test the open market instead of reporting to Norfolk. The right-hander appeared in two games with the Orioles in 2022 before undergoing season-ending shoulder surgery, surrendering five runs over 4.1 innings. The 30-year-old will look to return to his 2021 form at his next destination after posting a 2.15 ERA over seven appearances during that campaign.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Filling spot in rotation?
Ellis could join Baltimore's starting rotation after Jorge Lopez was moved to the bullpen Saturday.
ANALYSIS
A day after being claimed off waivers Friday, the righty was added to the Orioles' active roster Saturday, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports. Having thrown at least four innings in each of his last six outings, the most recent of which was in MLB with the Rays, Ellis is the clear candidate to start games in Lopez's spot going forward.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2016
2015
The 23-year-old righty had a pretty strong claim as the second best pitching prospect in the Angels' farm system, behind Sean Newcomb, but then Ellis and Newcomb were traded in an offseason deal with Atlanta for Andrelton Simmons. While Ellis was one of the top prospects in a weak Angels system, he simply blends in on the back half of the Braves' top-20 prospect list. He posted a 70:20 K:BB and a 3.88 ERA in 62.2 innings at High-A, and while his strikeouts dipped and his walks spiked in 78 innings at Double-A, he still managed to post a 3.92 ERA in 15 starts. Ellis probably has the upside of a No. 4 starter, with a more likely role as a No. 5 starter or a swing man. At 6-foot-4, he operates with a low-90s fastball and a mid-80s slider, with his changeup representing his best offering. Look for him to open 2016 at Double-A with a chance to finish the year in Triple-A.
