2025 Fantasy Outlook
Bigge was dominant at the Triple-A level in 2024, posting a 2.25 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and 36:9 K:BB over 20 innings. With eight saves between the Cubs and Rays affiliates, he brought his total to 21 over his minor-league career. The 26-year-old righty's success in high-leverage earned him looks in the Chicago and Tampa Bay bullpens, respectively, earning one save and two holds across 19 appearances in the majors. Bigge primarily features an upper-90's fastball (59 percent pitch usage) and effective slider (30 percent) that produced a 52 percent whiff rate that was among the best in the league for that pitch type. He also mixes in an occasional curve to left-handed hitters and sweeper, so it will be interesting to see how he mixes his pitches over a full season. After an impressive September with the Rays last year (15:1 K:BB over nine innings), Bigge is a favorite to break camp with the club in 2025. Save chances are possible as the season progresses.

Goes on IL with lat strain
The Rays placed Bigge on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a right lat strain, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
ANALYSIS
It's unclear when the injury occurred, but Bigge hadn't pitched since Thursday. He'll be eligible to return from the IL on May 18, but it's an injury type that typically results in longer than a 15-day absence. Cole Sulser was called up from Triple-A Durham to take Bigge's spot on the 26-man active roster.
