2023 Fantasy Outlook
The 30-year-old had a 3.83 ERA and 45:23 K:BB over 44.2 innings last season but missed the second half with forearm and elbow issues. The right-hander's contract minor-league contract with the Twins includes opt outs on March 28, May 15, and June 15, so he'll have options if the Twins don't add him to the big-league roster.

Contract selected by PHI
Hoffman had his contract selected by the Phillies on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Hoffman triggered the opt-out clause in his minor-league contract with Philly earlier this week, forcing the hand of the reigning NL champs. He racked up 16 strikeouts through nine innings of relief this season at Triple-A Lehigh Valley but was holding an overall 7.00 ERA. The right-hander figures to operate in a low-leverage bullpen role.

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.
