Gets opportunity with Tampa Bay
Burdi agreed Wednesday with the Rays on a minor-league contract that includes an invitation to MLB spring training, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
ANALYSIS
Once seen as a potential bullpen ace while he was a prospect in the White Sox system, Burdi has beset by numerous injuries in recent years and would do well just to resurface in the majors in a low-leverage role in 2023. The 27-year-old right-hander hasn't appeared in the big leagues since 2021 and wasn't especially effective over his 13 innings with two of the Nationals' lower-level minor-league affiliates last season, posting a 1.38 ERA but issuing 10 walks.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2021
2019
Both Burdi brothers -- Zack and Nick -- can touch triple digits but both have dealt with the elbow trouble that tends to accompany that tremendously rare physical skill. Zack Burdi went down with Tommy John surgery in 2017 after blazing his way up to Triple-A, and has taken some time to fully recover his velocity. His command was never great pre-injury, but it certainly has been problematic since his return to the mound. He throws hard and has the potential to be an impact, late-inning reliever, but there is a chasm between his current abilities and that future. He struggled mightily in his debut and is probably not worth the roster spot in a reset league. Keeper and dynasty leaguers with deep benches can take a spec on him to see how much that chasm closes in 2021.
