Avoids arbitration
Rainey (elbow) and the Nationals agreed to a one-year deal Tuesday, avoiding arbitration, Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Rainey underwent Tommy John surgery in early August, so he'll make no more than a handful of appearances this season if he makes it back at all. Kyle Finnegan remains the favorite to close games in his absence.

Ryan Rufe recaps the saves landscape in this year's NFBC Main Event and shares his own hits and misses from this past season.
Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
2020
2019
Rainey endured a brutal 2021 campaign from both a health and performance standpoint. He missed time due to injuries to his collarbone, side and tibia, as well as COVID-19 protocols. He struggled mightily when healthy, posting a 7.62 ERA and 1.81 WHIP across 32 relief appearances before he was optioned to the minors in mid-August. His performance was much better in Triple-A, where he ripped off several scoreless outings in a row before Washington summoned him again in early September. Upon his return, Rainey entered the mix for saves with Kyle Finnegan struggling down the stretch. He logged the first three saves of his career along with a career-high 10 holds despite finishing the season with abhorrent ratios (7.39 ERA, 1.71 WHIP, 7.1 BB/9). One positive to come out of 2021 is the experience Rainey gained closing out games, but his continued issues with homers and walks limit his upside.
