2023 Fantasy Outlook
Gaddis was able to jump up a couple of levels in 2022. He began the year with a 4.24 ERA and 1.17 WHIP over 76.1 innings at Double-A, but improved his ratios to a 3.60 ERA and 0.93 WHIP across 45 innings with Triple-A Columbus. The improvements didn't continue in his two spot starts in the majors, but there's still some obvious upside for the right-hander entering his age-25 season. He misses a ton of bats, racking up 12.1 K/9 mark in his minor-league career to date, though he also tends to give up loud contact. There's no obvious spot for Gaddis in the Guardians' rotation this spring, though his strikeout stuff could force the issue if he does well during spring training. He'll likely begin the year at Triple-A with the ability to fill in as a spot starter in the big leagues. Read Past Outlooks

Three strikeouts in no-decision
PCleveland Guardians
May 29, 2023
Gaddis did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks over 4.2 innings against the Cardinals. He struck out three.
ANALYSIS
Gaddis allowed three solo home runs to the Cardinals but was let off the hook thanks to a walk-off, two-run double by Jose Ramirez. The right-hander sports a 5.72 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 19:9 K:BB across six starts (28.1 innings), but he's likely transitioning to a relief role or heading back to Triple-A Columbus soon, as Aaron Civale (oblique) and Triston McKenzie (shoulder) are both nearing a return to MLB.
