2025 Fantasy Outlook
Burnes was everything the Orioles could have hoped for when they traded for him, as he took the ball 32 times during the regular season and pitched to a 2.92 ERA, seventh lowest among qualified starters. The right-hander added eight innings of one-run ball in his lone postseason start before Baltimore was bounced by Kansas City. Burnes surprised the baseball world in December when he inked a six-year, $210 million contract with the Diamondbacks. There may be some slight yellow flags, including a 23.1 K% last season, down significantly from just a couple years ago, coinciding with a drop in whiff rate on his curveball. Burnes is now on the wrong side of 30, but throwing hard, limiting walks and racking up innings make him a rare commodity given the current pitching landscape. The underlying numbers over the past couple years point to him being more of a low-to-mid 3.00s ERA pitcher, but if the strikeouts ramp back up it would help to stave off regression.

Throws on flat ground Monday
Burnes (shoulder) threw on flat ground Monday, Jack Sommers of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Burnes is not making his scheduled start Monday against the Mets after experiencing fatigue in his right shoulder over his past two outings. It's the first time he's missed a start since he entered the rotation on a full-time basis in 2020. However, Burnes' session of catch Monday appeared to go well, and he and the Diamondbacks remain optimistic he can avoid the 15-day injured list and start this weekend versus the Dodgers.

2017
The right-hander's 2023 got off to an inauspicious start, with an ugly arbitration battle publicly straining the relationship between Burnes and the Brewers. Always the consummate professional, Burnes put together another highly successful campaign despite some hiccups, leading qualified National League starters in WHIP while reaching 200 strikeouts for the third consecutive season. His swing-and-miss dominance took a hit as Burnes averaged just over a strikeout per inning (25.5 K%), coinciding with a dip in fastball velocity. His sinking fastball let him down and the 10 wins were a disappointment, but Burnes has four above-average pitches to lean on and still projects as a fantasy ace after being traded to the Orioles in February. If the strikeouts tick back up, Burnes could find himself in the Cy Young discussion once again.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could head to injury list?
Burnes will be scratched from his upcoming start due to a right shoulder injury, and it's uncertain whether the right-hander will ultimately land on the injured list, according to Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic.
ANALYSIS
Manager Torey Lovullo told reporters before Saturday's game that the team remains hopeful Burnes will return to the mound after just one missed start. The right-hander has been dealing with fatigue in his shoulder over his last few outings, and there's a chance this is nothing more than a precautionary move for Burnes.
