Availability
Tampa Bay Rays right-hander Alex Faedo (shoulder) has thrown five scoreless innings for Triple-A Durham after beginning his rehab assignment with the FCL Rays on June 27.
Fantasy Impact
Faedo has yet to make his Rays debut after three seasons pitching for the Detroit Tigers at the big-league level. The former first-round pick most recently posted a 3.61 ERA across 37 appearances with the Tigers in 2024.
Alex Faedo began a rehab assignment in the Florida Complex League on Friday.
Fantasy Impact
Faedo completed two innings in his first rehab outing. He has been sidelined since spring training due to inflammation in his shoulder.
The Rays placed Alex Faedo on the 15-day injured list.
Fantasy Impact
Faedo will miss at least the first couple weeks of the season with right shoulder inflammation. He could join the Rays bullpen by the end of April.
Alex Faedo will start the season on the 15-day injured list with a right shoulder injury, per team updates, despite a non-alarming MRI, Rays manager Kevin Cash said.
Fantasy Impact
Faedo’s shoulder MRI showed no major damage, per Cash, but he’ll miss Opening Day and several weeks after being a Rays bullpen lock, landing on the 15-day IL. The 29-year-old’s sidelined. Fantasy managers in deep dynasty leagues should stash him, expecting his arm to bolster Tampa Bay’s relief corps by midseason 2025 if recovery progresses smoothly.
Alex Faedo (shoulder) threw a live batting practice session Wednesday, signaling he is fully healthy after missing the final six weeks of 2024 with a right shoulder strain, per Marc Topkin of The Tampa Bay Times. The 29-year-old right-hander is in the mix for a bullpen role with Tampa Bay this spring.
Fantasy Impact
Faedo posted a 3.61 ERA, 1.34 WHIP, and 55:28 K:BB over 57.1 innings with the Tigers last season. He has no minor-league options remaining, meaning the Rays would have to expose him to waivers if he doesn’t make the Opening Day roster. While he isn't likely to see save opportunities, Faedo could carve out a middle-relief role, making him a potential deep-league option in holds formats.
