Rest-of-Season Projections
Dealing with oblique injury
Manager Pat Murphy said Wednesday that Bukauskas (shoulder) is recovering from an oblique strain, and the Brewers are hopeful that he'll be available for game action "by the end of September," MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Bukauskas was initially placed on the injured list back on April 14 with a right lat strain, but the Brewers later reclassified the injury as a right tricep strain. He then experienced a setback with his shoulder during a June 13 rehab appearance, resulting in him being shut down again. Bukauskas resumed his rehab assignment in late July, but he made just three appearances in the minors before apparently tweaking his oblique at some point along the way. While the Brewers are optimistic that Bukauskas will make it back from the IL during the final month of the season, it's not clear when he'll be ready to start up his rehab assignment for a third time.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2019
2018
The Diamondbacks did not give Bukauskas a look at the major-league level in 2020, but they kept a close eye on him at the alternate site. Clearly, Arizona liked what it saw as he was added to the 40-man roster in November for Rule 5 protection. That move always seemed likely as the right-hander is a high-pedigree prospect and was a significant part of the return for Zack Greinke, but it's reassuring nonetheless after Bukauskas battled elbow and wrist issues in late 2019 and early 2020. He has shown a great strikeout punch when healthy with his mid-90s heat and plus slider, but with spotty command and control pointing to a likely future in relief. The Arizona bullpen looks wide open and Bukauskas could immediately be one of the team's better relievers upon arrival, if he's healthy and the stuff is on par with what we've seen from him in the past.

ANALYSIS
After making two appearances for Arizona in the rookie-level complex league, Bukausas pitched Friday for Reno and allowed a hit in a scoreless inning. The 25-year-old is getting closer to returning from the Grade 2 shoulder strain that has kept him out all season.
