2023 Fantasy Outlook
Cisnero led the Tigers with 96 appearances from 2020-21, but in 2022 he didn't make his season debut until the second half due to a shoulder issue. The 33-year-old wound up posting a 1.08 ERA over his 28 appearances, but that also came along with an ugly 23:19 K:BB over 25 innings. Cisnero should be back in the late-inning mix for Detroit in 2023, potentially seeing some save chances amid a cloudy closer picture. He's got a legitimately great fastball, but his control often gets him into trouble. Read Past Outlooks

Rejoins pitching schedule Sunday
Cisnero (illness) struck out three and gave up one run on two hits and one walk over one inning of relief in Sunday's 6-2 Grapefruit League loss to the Twins.
ANALYSIS
The Tigers revealed Thursday that Cisnero was dealing with a non-COVID-19-related illness, but he was out of commission only for a couple of days before he was cleared for game action. The 32-year-old is likely headed for a setup or high-leverage relief role in front of Alex Lange, the presumptive favorite to take over as the Tigers' closer following the offseason trade of Gregory Soto to Philadelphia.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
2015
2014
Cisnero began the season with the chance to earn dominant closer status, but he failed to build on 2020's breakthrough campaign. He gave back his control gains while also inducing fewer strikeouts. In 2020, Cisnero's swinging strike mark was an impressive 14.8%, but it dipped to a pedestrian 9.3% last year. His velocity went up a tick, but Cisnero traded in 17% of his four-seam fastballs for two-seamers. The change did more harm than good as his sinking fastball generated swinging strikes at a low 5.9% clip. Cisnero will be 33 years old next season, so Detroit will probably look to groom someone younger to close. However, he did 18 holds and four saves last year, so he could be useful in the growing pool of leagues using holds in their scoring.
