2023 Fantasy Outlook
Rosenthal appeared to revive his career during the abbreviated 2020 campaign, when he logged a 1.90 ERA and 0.85 WHIP while saving 11 games across 23 appearances with the Royals and Padres. He inked a one-year, $11 million deal with the Athletics following that season, but he never pitched for the club after undergoing thoracic outlet syndrome surgery in April 2021 and then surgery to repair a torn labrum in his hip that July. Rosenthal appeared poised to make a late-season return in 2022 after signing with the Giants -- and later being traded to the Brewers, but a hamstring injury and then a lat injury prevented him from resurfacing in the majors. He may need to prove he's healthy in the minors before getting another shot at the big leagues. Read Past Outlooks

Nursing sprained elbow
Rosenthal is currently sidelined at Triple-A Toledo by a right elbow sprain, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Rosenthal made two appearances with Toledo before getting hurt, allowing one run with a 1:3 K:BB over two innings. He's now going through physical therapy, and it's not clear how long it might be before he's allowed to throw again. Rosenthal had Tommy John surgery back in 2017 and hasn't pitched in the majors since 2020 due to shoulder and hip issues.

Left for dead by most of the fantasy community, Rosenthal re-emerged in 2020 to finish tied for seventh in MLB with 11 saves between Kansas City and San Diego. He had a 13.50 ERA in 2019, his first season back from Tommy John surgery, with his last appearance of that season coming Aug. 7 before he was designated for assignment by the Tigers. An impressive spring and summer 2020 had him closing games for the Royals before July was over, and Rosenthal's success continued after a trade to the Padres, with whom he went 4-for-5 in save chances. Statcast says that success was mostly deserved given Rosenthal's elite fastball velocity and whiff rates. Most importantly, Rosenthal found his control again after he completely lost it in 2019 -- not uncommon for a pitcher returning from TJS. The righty showed that he can still harness his plus-plus stuff well enough to close games for a major-league club.
