2025 Fantasy Outlook
An older lefty who turned 26 this offseason and had Tommy John surgery in 2022, Seymour dominated Double-A and Triple-A hitters in 2024 to the tune of a 2.48 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 162:41 K:BB in 145.1 innings. He actually made two starts at Triple-A late in 2021 just to keep pitching after the High-A season wrapped up. Seymour's fastball velocity isn't great (sits in the low-90s), but it's got good movement, and he's incredibly crafty. He's got a plus changeup and a quality cutter, and that might be enough to get by against big-league hitters if he can throw strikes and pitch with confidence. The Rays have a plethora of rotation options, but Seymour is on the 40-man roster and should be heard from at some point this season. Given his poor fastball velocity and relatively shallow repertoire, he'll have a small margin for error as a starter, and the Rays could opt to have him work as a bulk reliever initially.

Signed a one-year contract with the Rays in March of 2025.
Entering rotation Monday
Seymour is slated to start Monday's game against the Guardians in Cleveland, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Analysis
At least for one turn through the rotation, Seymour will take over the starting role that was vacated by Joe Boyle, whom Tampa Bay optioned to Triple-A Durham on Friday. Since being called up from Triple-A on July 31, Seymour has made five appearances out of the bullpen, but he covered 3.1 innings on Aug. 15 in San Francisco and three frames in his most recent appearance Tuesday versus the Yankees, so he should be reasonably stretched out as he makes his first MLB start. The 26-year-old lefty had previously been serving as a full-time member of the rotation at Durham, producing a 2.62 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 104:20 K:BB in 86 innings.
