Rest-of-Season Projections
Should secure Opening Day role
Almonte will likely make Chicago's Opening Day bullpen due to being out of options, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Almonte would have to clear waivers if he's sent down, and the Cubs seem unwilling to risk losing the righty. Almonte struggled some last season, recording a 5.06 ERA across 48 innings with the Dodgers, but he also struck out 49 batters. Armed with a fastball that sits around 96 mph, Almonte has the potential to be a bullpen weapon for the Cubs if he cuts down on the walks. The 29-year-old posted a 4.5 BB/9 in 2023, which contributed to his overall struggles.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2021
2017
Almonte had a career 5.30 ERA and was coming off a 7.55 mark in 2021 when the Rockies cut him loose. He landed with the Dodgers on a minor-league contract and, as the organization has done with many others, figured out what worked for Almonte and watched him turn in a 1.02 ERA over 33 relief appearances. In Almonte's case, it was using more sinkers than four-seamers and, most importantly, upping the usage of his slider, a pitch which garnered a robust 48.5 percent whiff rate. Almonte did deal with an elbow injury in the second half, although he returned late in the year to make four scoreless appearances. The 28-year-old picked up one save in 2022 and it wouldn't be a surprise if he gets more than that in 2023 with the back-end of the Dodgers' bullpen unsettled.
