2025 Fantasy Outlook
Gusto was slated to make his big-league debut on the final day of the 2024 season as a starter against the Guardians, but the game got canceled due to inclement weather. The 25-year-old righty still found his way onto the 40-man roster and has been mentioned this offseason by manager Joe Espada as a big-league rotation option heading into 2025. Gusto's only above-average pitch is his changeup, while his low-90s fastball is unremarkable and he throws a pair of OK breaking balls. It's his above-average control that could allow him to have success in the right matchup. Gusto logged a strong 8.5 percent walk rate in 148.1 innings at Triple-A last year, but his 22.6 percent strikeout rate was the worst mark of his career. He could be a useful streamer in deeper mixed leagues if opportunity arises, and at 6-foot-4, 232 pounds, he's built to handle a full season's workload. Read Past Outlooks
Likely to get another start
Astros general manager Dana Brown said Sunday that he expects Gusto to make at least one more start with the big club, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
After opening the season in the Houston bullpen, Gusto slid into the rotation Saturday as a replacement for Spencer Arrighetti (thumb), who was placed on the 15-day injured list earlier in the week. Though he took a loss against the Angels and gave up three earned runs over four innings, Gusto delivered a strong 6:1 K:BB and induced 12 whiffs on 72 pitches. The Astros seemingly came away encouraged by the rookie's performance, and he looks like he'll be in line to make his next start during the team's three-game series versus the Padres next weekend. Gusto could be headed to the bullpen or to Triple-A Sugar Land after that, however, as Lance McCullers (forearm) could be on track to return from the 15-day injured list the following week.
