Nick Burdi

Stop me if you've heard this one before: Burdi showed promise in 2019 but ultimately spent most of the year injured. The righty lasted just 8.2 innings this time around before suffering a strained biceps tendon in late April. Shortly after resuming throwing in mid-June, he was shut down again, this time due to thoracic outlet syndrome, a problem which required surgery. His very small sample produced a comically misaligned ERA (9.35) and FIP (1.83). It's hard to take too much from less than a full game's worth of work, though his 42.5% strikeout rate was certainly encouraging. There's reason to believe Burdi could be a late-inning weapon if healthy this season, but there's unfortunately very little reason to believe he'll be healthy for an extended period. He's thrown a total of just 41 innings across all levels over the last four seasons and there's no sign of the trend changing any time soon.
