2025 Fantasy Outlook
Spence was plucked by the Athletics in last winter's Rule 5 Draft and did what most Rule 5 pitchers do at the beginning of the season, filling a long relief/mop-up role. He had a solid 11-appearance run in the bullpen, collecting a 4.26 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 22:7 K:BB over 25.1 innings. A need in the A's rotation arose in mid-May and Spence filled it, ultimately holding an unremarkable 4.64 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 18.8 percent strikeout rate across 24 starts. A cutter and a slider made up more than 70 percent of the 26-year-old's repertoire, as he threw a sinker less than 15 percent of the time. An atypical approach might be Spence's best shot to stick as a starter, as the righty throws strikes and induces grounders but his stuff is pretty underwhelming across the board. It seems unlikely he'll ever be more than a streamer type in fantasy. Read Past Outlooks
Limits Astros to one run
Spence allowed one run on seven hits and one walk while striking out two batters over five innings in a no-decision against Houston on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Spence served up a solo homer to Jose Altuve in the first inning, but he kept Houston from scoring over his final four frames. The right-hander recorded just one 1-2-3 inning and induced only six whiffs, but this was still a nice outing overall. Spence has been impressive since joining the Athletics' rotation early this month, allowing only two runs while registering a 10:2 K:BB over 15 innings across three starts. He's tentatively slated to face Cleveland at home in his next appearance.
