Rest-of-Season Projections
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Vest got off to a brilliant start last season, holding a 1.57 ERA and 28:7 K:BB across 23 innings covering his first 20 appearances. He then posted a 5.40 ERA the rest of the way, even earning a trip back to the minors at one point. More consistency will be needed for the 27-year-old to be trusted in high-leverage situations, but a 49.7 percent ground ball rate and a strikeout per inning will play. Read Past Outlooks
Earns second win
Vest (2-0) pitched 1.2 scoreless innings of relief to earn the win Wednesday against the Rangers. He struck out one.
ANALYSIS
Starter Joey Wentz covered 4.1 innings before giving way to Vest. The latter has been a strong relief option this year, as he now has a 2.84 ERA and has struck out 20 batters in 19 innings. Alex Lange has locked down the closer job with his own stellar play, but Vest has carved out an important role in the Detroit bullpen.
