Rest-of-Season Projections
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Abbott, a second-round pick in 2021, made 25 starts for the Reds last season before a left shoulder strain put him on the shelf. There was talk of a return toward the end of September, but the team went the cautious route, prioritizing a normal offseason. Abbott enjoyed similar results to his rookie year before the injury, but his strikeout rate fell precipitously to a shade under 20 percent. He will likely need to ramp that back up if he is to maintain similar ratios, especially since he's a fairly heavy flyball pitcher in Cincinnati. The southpaw is tentatively lined up to open 2025 with a rotation spot, but he will need to prove his health and earn it in Cactus League play. Read Past Outlooks
Shelved to begin season
The Reds placed Abbott (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Abbott built up to four innings and 50 pitches in his second and final Cactus League outing this past Saturday, but since he's not quite stretched out enough to handle a typical starter's workload, the Reds will have him open the season on the IL after he got off to a delayed start this spring due to a rotator cuff strain. He'll be eligible for activation April 8, and he should be ready to go on or around that date if he experiences no setbacks while making another rehab start or two over the next couple weeks. Carson Spiers appears in line to serve as the Reds' No. 5 starter until Abbott is cleared to join the big-league rotation.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Abbott emerged from relative obscurity to position himself as a potential rotation piece for the Reds entering 2024. A second-round pick in 2021, he struck out 36 batters in 15.2 innings at Double-A Chattanooga to open last season before quickly moving up to Triple-A Louisville. The left-hander was promoted to the majors after just seven starts at Triple-A, and Abbott would go on to finish 8-6 with a 3.87 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 120:44 K:BB over 109.1 big-league innings as a rookie. While he does not have great velocity, averaging just under 93 mph on his fastball, he throws four different pitches, including a sweeper that he features heavily against lefty hitters. Same-side hitters combined for just a .185/.224/.272 line against Abbott last season. His low groundball rate could lead to trouble in Great American Ball Park and it would be nice if he cut down on the walks, but Abbott is still just 24 and we expect there is another level to come with his strikeout rate.
