Rest-of-Season Projections
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Tate was arguably Baltimore's most important reliever last season. With Tyler Wells shifting from the bullpen to the starting rotation, and the team trading away two relievers right before the season, Tate was a workhorse for the O's, pitching a career-high 73.2 innings across 67 appearances. His strikeout rate (20.5%) doesn't stand out, but he makes up for it with an upper-50s groundball percentage thanks to his league-best sinker as measured by Statcast run value (-21). Tate's changeup was excellent for the fourth year in a row and his slider supplanted his cutter as a secondary he could reliably count on. The 28-year-old added five saves and 16 holds in his setup role to compliment his rock-solid 3.05 ERA (3.47 FIP), 0.99 WHIP and career-best 5.5% walk rate. Some ratio regression is likely, but Tate should remain part of the bridge to Felix Bautista and pitch in a handful of ancillary saves in 2023. Read Past Outlooks
Moves to 15-day IL
Tate (elbow) was placed on the 15-day injured list Thursday, retroactive to March 27.
ANALYSIS
The 28-year-old was ruled out for the first month of the season back in February due to a flexor strain, so his move to the injured list was to be expected. Tate was throwing bullpen sessions for the final two weeks of spring training, so he appears on track to be available in late April or early May.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2021
2020
2017
2016
Summer camp did not have stats but it did have injuries. Tate experienced forearm soreness in an intrasquad game in July, and while an MRI showed no structural damage, the injury cost him the first three-plus weeks of the season. A right finger sprain later forced Tate to the IL late in September, but in between he was quite good, posting a 3.24 ERA and a couple holds with only one HR allowed in 16.2 innings. The No. 4 overall pick by the Rangers in 2015, Tate has been traded twice and lost his shine a while ago, but his future as a major-league reliever looks a lot brighter than it did at this time last year. He continued with his sinker-heavy approach but showed more confidence in his slider last season and enjoyed great results with the pitch. Assuming he's healthy, Tate should compete for a setup role, and if he shows another level with the strikeout rate, he could challenge for saves.
