2025 Fantasy Outlook
Spiers split time between the minors and majors in 2024, making 18 starts and an additional 13 appearances as a reliever. The right-hander excelled at Triple-A Louisville, where he was used as a starter, posting a 2.51 ERA while lowering walk and home run rates. His results in the majors, however, were less glamorous either as a starter or reliever. As a starter, MLB hitters crushed 16 homers off him in just 51.2 innings. The numbers were slightly better coming out of the bullpen, but those appearances were primarily as an inning-eater in low-leverage situations. He's likely to begin 2025 in the rotation at Louisville, as he did last season, and provide starting depth for the Reds. Read Past Outlooks
Out with shoulder impingement
The Reds placed Spiers on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to a right shoulder impingement, Charlie Goldsmith of the Dayton Daily News reports.
ANALYSIS
The 27-year-old was called up Friday and was scheduled to start Sunday in place of Nick Lodolo (paternity), but Hunter Greene's short outing Saturday resulted in Spiers covering four frames out of the bullpen. The right-hander apparently tweaked his shoulder while giving up four runs, so he'll be sidelined for at least the next couple weeks. Randy Wynne was selected to the MLB roster Sunday and could provide some length behind opener Brent Suter against the Orioles.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Spiers fared well in his second go-round at Double-A Chattanooga in 2023 and was needed for MLB innings during the Reds' push for the postseason in September. In the minors, the right-hander's walk rate inched up, but Speirs' improved location within the strike zone resulted in a better strikeout percentage and significantly lowered home run rate. Desperate for pitching help in the majors, the Reds summoned Spiers from Double-A for four appearances (two starts) that went predictably awry. Spiers' name will be mentioned when talking about the team's starting depth, but he could spend the entire season in the minors.
