Signs with Washington
Minaya signed a minor-league contract Wednesday with the Nationals.
ANALYSIS
After being released from his minor-league deal with the Twins over the weekend, Minaya quickly found a home in a new organization. He appeared in relief Wednesday for Triple-A Rochester, tossing a scoreless inning against Syracuse. The 31-year-old could be a candidate for a promotion to the big club down the stretch if Washington requires an extra relief arm.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2019
2018
2017
After finishing the 2017 season as the White Sox's closer, Minaya struggled out of the gates in 2018, posting a 10.80 ERA and 5:9 K:BB through his first five appearances (3.1 innings). He wound up spending the first two months of the season bouncing between Triple-A and the majors. The right-hander turned things around when he returned to Chicago in June, posting a 2.70 ERA and 53:20 K:BB with the big club over the remainder of the season. Minaya started throwing a split-finger changeup late in 2017 and made it a fairly big part of his repertoire in 2018 (23.3%). That pitch helped him cut his HR/9 from 1.44 to 0.58. He still walks too many batters (5.6 BB/9 in 2018), but after his second-half improvement, Minaya should be locked into an Opening Day roster spot, likely as the No. 3 or 4 righty in the bullpen.
