2025 Fantasy Outlook
The left-hander's 160 innings during 2024 were his most since 2018, and he was a solid back-end starter for the Rangers with a 4.28 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 159:41 K:BB in 32 outings. Heaney is in the midst of the best run of his career over the past three years with a 4.00 ERA, which is a major improvement on the 4.72 mark he posted across his first eight years in the big leagues. He had an 8.9 K/9 last season and averaged 91.6 mph on his fastball, which is down from 93 mph in 2022. Heaney shouldn't have an issue landing a rotation spot during the offseason, but he's more of a reliable innings eater than a marquee fantasy asset. He'll turn 34 years old in June, and his fantasy appeal is likely to be limited to that of a streaming option outside of deeper leagues. Read Past Outlooks

Booted from active roster
The Dodgers optioned Heaney to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday.
Analysis
Heaney had his contract selected Saturday and threw two innings of relief in his team debut, allowing three earned runs on four hits and one walk. Since Heaney wouldn't have been available for Sunday's regular-season finale versus the Mariners, the Dodgers opted to call up Landon Knack from Triple-A to provide a fresh arm in the bullpen.

Heaney once ranked among the top pitching prospects in the sport, but he's typically been more of an off-and-on fantasy streaming consideration rather than a reliable rotation option. The 32-year-old left-hander can at least point to the big World Series ring on his finger as he enters his 11th major-league season, along with the $13 million he's owed after exercising his 2024 player option with the reigning-champion Rangers. He would appear to be locked into an Opening Day rotation spot with Max Scherzer (back), Jacob deGrom (elbow) and Tyler Mahle (elbow) all on the mend through the season's first couple of months, but Heaney took a step back with his walk rate last year and remains a volatile pitcher both in role and effectiveness. He'll have attractiveness in spurts when he's occupying a starting gig with favorable matchups.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Likeliest PIT starter to be dealt?
Per John Perotto of PittsburghBaseballNow.com, Heaney is the Pirates' most likely starting pitcher to be traded ahead of the July 31 deadline.
Analysis
The left-hander inked a one-year, $5.25 million contract with Pittsburgh in February, and there's always been a decent chance he wouldn't stick with the Pirates for the full 2025 campaign. Heaney has a middling 4.41 ERA over 18 starts this season, though he had an impressive 2.91 ERA through his first 10 outings. The 34-year-old's 6.47 ERA across his past eight starts may need to be improved upon for Pittsburgh to garner a decent trade return.
