2023 Fantasy Outlook
Lyles' best feature from 2022 was again his durability, as he started 32 games and covered 179 innings. The right-hander added a 4.42 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 12-11 record while filling in as a de facto staff ace following John Means' Tommy John surgery. Lyles is entering his age-32 season, so there's little reason to expect significant improvement going forward. He'll be a viable middle-of-the-rotation starter for the Royals after he inked a two-year, $17 million contract. He was able to post a 1.3 HR/9 last season, his lowest mark since 2018 and one that's probably unrepeatable without a move to a more pitcher-friendly division than the AL East. Read Past Outlooks

Fans eight in no-decision
Lyles allowed one run on two hits and a walk over five innings in Friday's loss to the Rockies. He struck out eight and did not factor in the decision.
ANALYSIS
Lyles produced what was easily his best start of the year but got no run support. The 32-year-old forced a season-high 14 whiffs on 74 pitches but his record remains at 0-9 on the year while he still sports an unsightly 6.89 ERA through 66.2 frames. Lyles is currently lined up to start in Miami next week.

Zack Wheeler has a 3.60 ERA, but also 2.66 FIP and has been good at suppressing home runs, which should serve him well against the Nationals Friday.

Baltimore's rotation was a carousel behind top starter John Means in 2021, so Lyles was signed in free agency to cover some innings. The veteran right-hander pitched in 32 games (30 starts) and threw 180 innings for the Rangers last season, but he was one of the worst qualified starters in the majors with a 5.15 ERA. An xFIP of 4.73 offers some room for improvement, but he's unlikely to receive significant help from his defense in Baltimore. Lyles flashed a 2.64 ERA with the Brewers between 2018 and 2019 but hasn't shown anything since to warrant fantasy consideration.
