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.

Abbott (shoulder) will not return this season, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
Abbott has been throwing and will continue to do so in hopes of going into the offseason without any restrictions, but there's not enough time left in the regular season for him to rejoin the Reds' rotation. The left-hander will finish with a 3.72 ERA and 114:52 K:BB over 138 innings covering 25 starts for Cincinnati this season.
