2023 Fantasy Outlook
Pilkington split 2022 between Triple-A Columbus and Cleveland, serving primarily as a starter. In 15 big-league outings (11 starts), he had a 3.88 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 50:32 K:BB across 58 innings. He also posted a 5.88 ERA, 1.51 WHIP and 58:26 K:BB through 56.2 innings at Triple-A. His role as the de facto sixth starter for the Guardians, combined with their bizarrely high number of rainouts and doubleheaders, likely led to him seeing more time than initially expected. The 25-year-old has decent strikeout potential, but he'd benefit from another year spent mostly in the minors to cut down on his ugly 12.4 percent walk rate in the majors. Pilkington projects as a back-of-the-rotation starter until his command improves, though he's likely at least a year away from claiming such a role on a full-time basis. Read Past Outlooks

Traded to Arizona
Arizona acquired Pilkington from Cleveland on Monday in exchange for cash considerations.
ANALYSIS
Pilkington had been removed from Cleveland's 40-man roster late last week and has now found a new home. The left-hander has a limited ceiling but is a capable depth arm for Arizona. He's posted a 3.75 ERA over 16 appearances (11 starts) at the big-league level and will likely slide into Triple-A Reno's rotation.
