2023 Fantasy Outlook
Sanmartin was utterly dreadful in four starts for the Reds last season. He put up a 19.85 ERA and 3.09 WHIP in those outings, with batters hitting .456 with a 1.294 OPS against the left-hander. Sanmartin was much better in relief, though, with a 2.96 ERA over 41 appearances while limiting them to a .694 OPS. The southpaw's drastic platoon splits (.717 OPS versus left-handed batters, .933 OPS against right-handers) also point to the bullpen being his long-term home. Sanmartin currently projects as the lone lefty in manager David Bell's relief corps, so he could find himself in high-leverage spots when the situation calls for it. Read Past Outlooks

Elbow
May 14, 2023
The Reds transferred Sanmartin (elbow) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day injured list Sunday, Paige Leckie of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Sanmartin is currently expected to miss the next six weeks while he recovers from a stress reaction in his left elbow. The southpaw reliever is now off the 40-man roster and could be back as a middle-innings option for the Reds right around the All-Star break.

Stat Review
How does Reiver Sanmartin compare to other relievers?
This section compares his stats with all relief pitcher seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 30 innings)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.

* Exit Velocity, Barrels/BBE %, Balls Hit 95+ MPH %, and Spin Rate are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 30 IP). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

2022 Fantasy Outlook
Sanmartin is still a bit of an unknown in many circles, but he had a 3.94 ERA, 54.0 GB% and 19.2 K-BB% in 82.1 innings at Triple-A and then finished his season with two strong starts in the majors. Of course, it helped that both of those starts came against the Pirates. The 25-year-old lefty only averaged 89.5 mph on his fourseam fastball, but it had serious horizontal break and was very tough to pick up from a three-quarters lefty slot. His slider and changeup are strong secondary offerings, so it's a starter's repertoire. Given the lack of velocity, we recommend treading cautiously, as deception artists often have a short shelf life in the majors. However, Sanmartin has a decent chance of opening the year with a spot in the Reds' starting rotation, and he has a good recent statistical track record.
