Rest-of-Season Projections

Makes start at High-A
Hankins (elbow) tossed 1.1 innings Saturday and was charged with three earned runs on three hits and two walks while striking out two after High-A Lake County activated him Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Hankins was making his first appearance at a full-season affiliate since Aug. 29, 2019, with his lone other outing since that time coming in a rehab appearance at the rookie-ball level last August. The 22-year-old has endured a long road back from May 2021 Tommy John surgery and will likely have his workload managed carefully this season.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2021
2020
2019
Hankins spent his age-20 season at Cleveland's alternate training site and finished things off in the fall instructional league. He appeared thicker in 2019, and looked more svelte and athletic this past year, but there have also been developments with his fastball. As an amateur, Hankins had one of the best looking fastballs on the planet, but it is now more of a low-to-mid-90s offering. This slight downtick in velocity is presumably by design as an attempt to improve his fastball command. While this gives him a better chance of sticking as a starter, he probably doesn't have the frontline upside we were dreaming on a couple years ago. His slider has a chance to be a plus pitch, while his changeup is trending up as another average or better offering. Hankins should spend the bulk of this season at High-A, with a chance to get a midseason bump to Double-A if he isn't facing much resistance.
