Rest-of-Season Projections
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Spence was plucked by the Athletics in last winter's Rule 5 Draft and did what most Rule 5 pitchers do at the beginning of the season, filling a long relief/mop-up role. He had a solid 11-appearance run in the bullpen, collecting a 4.26 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 22:7 K:BB over 25.1 innings. A need in the A's rotation arose in mid-May and Spence filled it, ultimately holding an unremarkable 4.64 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 18.8 percent strikeout rate across 24 starts. A cutter and a slider made up more than 70 percent of the 26-year-old's repertoire, as he threw a sinker less than 15 percent of the time. An atypical approach might be Spence's best shot to stick as a starter, as the righty throws strikes and induces grounders but his stuff is pretty underwhelming across the board. It seems unlikely he'll ever be more than a streamer type in fantasy. Read Past Outlooks
Tagged for four runs in loss
Spence (2-2) took the loss against Cleveland on Saturday, allowing four runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out three batters over 4.2 innings.
ANALYSIS
Spence's downfall was the second frame, when he gave up all four of his runs and six of his eight hits. Outside of that, he notched three 1-2-3 innings and just two singles. The four runs were a season-worst mark for Spence, who came into Saturday having allowed just two runs over 17 frames across his previous four starts. He'll try to get back on track in his next start, which is tentatively scheduled to be a tough road matchup versus the Yankees.
