Rest-of-Season Projections
Hammered for six runs
Plesac (1-1) was tagged with the loss against the Dodgers on Saturday, allowing six runs on seven hits and one walk over 3.1 innings. He struck out one.
ANALYSIS
Plesac managed to get through the first two innings unscathed before unraveling in the third. The right-hander allowed three consecutive hits to open the frame, two of which went for home runs, and needed 32 pitches to get through the inning. He's now allowed multiple home runs in each of his first two starts while posting just one strikeout in both outings. Whether or not Plesac sticks around the Angels' rotation for another start remains to be seen, though he certainly didn't help his chances with Saturday's performance.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2021
2020
Another year, another fluke injury -- Plesac missed time in 2022 after breaking his hand while punching the mound after yielding three home runs in Seattle. Opposing hitters continue to feast on his fastball, tagging him for a .306 batting average and eight home runs on the pitch he threw 42.7 percent of the time last year. His slider and curveball were his two best pitches, but he's still struggled to make up for mediocre velocity with effective swing-and-miss stuff, posting a 6.8 K/9 and 2.6 BB/9 over 131.2 innings. He finished last year in the 21st percentile for whiff percentage. While his passion is evident from frustration-related injuries, the end results put him as the No. 4 or 5 starter in the Guardians' rotation and a low-upside, late-round pick in fantasy.

Close to deal with Angels
Plesac is close to reaching an agreement with the Angels, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The details of the contract are not known at this time. Plesac battled through a dreadful 2023 campaign, posting a 7.59 ERA in five starts with the Guardians and a 6.08 ERA at Triple-A Columbus. The 28-year-old did hold a solid 4.04 ERA and 1.19 WHIP from 2019-22, so the Angels are hoping he could bounce back to serve as some respectable rotation depth.
