Eligibility
Tampa Bay Rays right-hander Zack Littell is expected to spend the entire 2024 season as a starter.
Fantasy Impact
Littell came to Tampa Bay after being designated for assignment by the Red Sox in 2023. He made 14 starts and 26 appearances for the Rays, working to a 3.93 ERA in the process. Tampa Bay has a wealth of rotation injuries and Tyler Glasnow was traded in the offseason but Littell is expected to hold a starter role for the entire campaign.
Zack Littell turned in an impressive performance on Tuesday, lasting seven innings and striking out eight batters while allowing just five hits and no walks.
Fantasy Impact
Although he gave up three earned runs, his strong outing should boost his fantasy value going forward. Littell's season-long numbers, including a 4.25 ERA and a 1.16 WHIP, have been solid but not spectacular. However, his improved ratios in this game, including a 7.4 K/9 and a 7.11 strikeout-to-walk ratio, suggest that he may be finding his groove. Fantasy owners should keep an eye on Littell as he could be a valuable asset down the stretch.
Zack Littell's impressive outing included eight innings pitched, allowing just one earned run on five hits and one walk while striking out four.
Fantasy Impact
Despite the loss, Littell's season-long numbers remain solid with a 4.29 ERA, 1.21 WHIP, and a 6.22 strikeout-to-walk ratio over 24 games. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his performance as he has the potential to provide value in deeper leagues.
Despite recording six strikeouts, Littell struggled, allowing four runs on seven hits over 5 1/3 innings.
Fantasy Impact
With a season ERA of 4.27 and a WHIP of 1.25, this outing only further dampens Littell's fantasy value, making him a risky option moving forward. Fantasy managers should be cautious with him moving forward.

Fantasy Impact
On the season, Littell has appeared in 20 games, posting a 3.99 ERA, a 1.23 WHIP, and a 7.8 K/9 ratio.
