There was no outlook written for Nick Sandlin in 2023. Check out the latest news below for more on his current fantasy value.
$Signed a contract with the Indians in June of 2018.
Charged with loss
PCleveland Guardians
May 27, 2023
Sandlin (2-2) allowed an unearned run and one walk while striking out one over one inning, taking the extra-inning loss versus the Cardinals on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
It was a passed ball that allowed Brendan Donovan to scurry home for the decisive run in the 10th inning. Prior to Saturday, Sandlin had pitched 7.2 scoreless innings to begin May. The right-hander has been effective in a low-leverage role with a 3.26 ERA, though his 0.78 WHIP shows that he's been better at limiting baserunners through 19.1 innings this season. He's added a hold and a blown save, but he's unlikely to challenge Emmanuel Clase or Trevor Stephan for late-inning work.

2021 Fantasy Outlook
The 67th overall pick in the 2018 draft was dominant when last fully healthy in 2019 with a 1.56 ERA and 14.2 K/9 at Double-A. Sandlin had forearm surgery in July 2019 and didn't pitch in a game in 2020. He did return to pitch at Cleveland's alternative site last season. The sidewinder will likely need to show he's healthy at Triple-A before getting a shot at the majors.
