DFA'd by Reds
Hoffman (elbow) was designated for assignment by the Reds on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Before having his season cut short in July, Hoffman recorded a 3.83 ERA and 1.41 WHIP over 44.2 innings in 2022 -- the best marks of his seven-year career to date. He lost his spot on the 40-man roster in order to make room for prospects being protected from the Rule 5 draft, but considering the solid year he just had prior to injury, it's possible he'll get claimed off waivers by another team.

2016
2015
Hoffman has had a rough start to his major-league career over the past five seasons, but he'll no longer have to pitch in the altitude at Coors Field after he was traded to the Reds in November. The right-hander pitched solely as a reliever in 2020, but it's not yet known whether he'll move back to a starting role with Cincinnati. Hoffman's 9.28 ERA ranked worst among qualified relievers last year, but his xFIP remained somewhat steady at 5.39. He had a career-best average fastball velocity of 94.5 mph in 2020, but he only had a 9.3% swinging-strike rate while increasing his changeup usage. Hoffman could perform better with a change of scenery, especially one that doesn't involve playing his home games in Colorado. However, he'll likely settle for a middle-relief role if he's unable to secure a job as a back-end starter. If he works out of the bullpen again, he's unlikely to have much fantasy relevance.
