Wed Mar 2720:02Jake Odorizzi Starting At Triple-A
Tampa Bay Rays manager Kevin Cash said that right-hander Jake Odorizzi (shoulder) will make a start for Triple-A Durham on Tuesday, April 2, and then the team will go "start-to-start" on deciding when/if they'll bring him to the major-league level. Not only did Odorizzi not sign with the Rays until March 15, but he didn't pitch at all in 2023 while recovering from arthroscopic surgery on his shoulder. The 34-year-old veteran should eventually become a rotation option for Tampa this year, but he'll certainly be on an innings limit and already didn't come with much fantasy upside. The former first-rounder (32nd overall) of the Milwaukee Brewers in 2008 went 6-6 with the Houston Astros and Atlanta Braves in his last season in 2022, sporting a 4.40 ERA and 1.33 WHIP with 35 walks and 86 K's over 22 starts.

Tue Mar 2617:41Jake Odorizzi Pitching On Tuesday
Tampa Bay Rays right-hander Jake Odorizzi (shoulder) was scheduled to pitch in Tuesday's exhibition game at Tropicana Field against the Detroit Tigers rather than in a minor-league game on Wednesday. Odorizzi sees it as a truer test of his progress in what will be his first game pitched since Oct. of 2022 due to arthroscopic surgery on his right shoulder. The 33-year-old veteran signed with the Rays late in spring training this year and will begin the 2024 campaign in the minor leagues as a result. If Odorizzi doesn't have any setbacks with his shoulder, he should have a spot open for him in the rotation with both Shane Baz (elbow) and Taj Bradley (pectoral) recovering from injuries. Even in deeper fantasy leagues, managers will probably want to wait and see before trusting Odorizzi in starting lineups whenever he makes his 2024 debut.

Fri Mar 1508:41Jake Odorizzi Returns To Rays On Minor League Deal
Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times is reporting that starting pitcher Jake Odorizzi (shoulder) has returned to the Rays on a minor-league deal. Odorizzi spent 2023 recovering from shoulder surgery and last suited up in 2022 for the Atlanta Braves. The right-hander will return to familiar grounds with the club that he spent five of 11 seasons with. He does own a career 3.99 ERA, but this is merely a depth piece and he can be avoided in all fantasy formats for now.

Mon Feb 1218:29Jake Odorizzi Throwing Without Restrictions
Free-agent right-hander Jake Odorizzi (shoulder), who was an All-Star starter in 2019, is throwing without restrictions and is looking to sign a major-league deal in the coming weeks. The 33-year-old has pitched off a mound this offseason in front of evaluators from 10 to 12 big-league teams. Odorizzi had an arthroscopic debridement surgery on his right shoulder last April, which caused him to sit out all of the 2023 season. With the Houston Astros and Atlanta Braves back in 2022, Odorizzi went 6-6 with a 4.40 ERA (4.28 FIP) and 1.33 WHIP while walking 35 and striking out 86 in 106 1/3 innings over 22 starts. It remains to be seen if he'll sign with a team in time to become a legitimate starting rotation option for the start of the 2024 season. Odorizzi was a first-time All-Star back in 2019 with the Minnesota Twins.

Fri Apr 7 202314:50Jake Odorizzi To Miss 2023 Season
Texas Rangers starting pitcher Jake Odorizzi (shoulder) is expected to miss the entire 2023 campaign. The right-hander has been dealing with arm fatigue, so the team decided to have him undergo further testing. Now, it has been determined that Odorizzi needs to undergo an arthroscopic procedure on his right shoulder. The 33-year-old was primarily going to be depth for the Rangers this season. That being said, this isn't a huge blow to the team, but it still hurts. Odorizzi is set to become a free agent at the end of the season.

Wed Feb 22 202300:55Jake Odorizzi To Serve Bulk-Inning Or Spot-Starter Role
The Athletic's Levi Weaver reported Tuesday that Texas Rangers newly-signed pitcher Jake Odorizzi will likely serve as either a bulk inning reliever or as a spot sixth starter. The Rangers brought in Jacob deGrom, Nathan Eovaldi, and Andrew Heaney this off-season in addition to Odorizzi, and all three are established starters. However, injury is a real concern throughout the projected starters, which likely means Odorizzi will pitch a substantial number of innings either way. The 32-year-old made 22 starts with the Astros and Braves in 2022, going 6-6 with a 4.40 ERA, 1.33 WHIP, and 19% strikeout rate. He may be a useful streamer in points leagues throughout the season, but Odorizzi's high WHIP, low strikeout upside, and uncertain role limits his fantasy value in roto leagues.

Wed Nov 9 202220:18Rangers Acquire Jake Odorizzi From The Braves
The Texas Rangers acquired right-hander Jake Odorizzi and cash considerations from the Atlanta Braves on Wednesday in exchange for left-hander Kolby Allard. Odorizzi began the 2022 season with the Houston Astros and was traded to the Braves in August. He finished the year 6-6 with a combined 4.40 ERA (4.28 FIP), a 1.33 WHIP, 86 strikeouts and 35 walks in 106 1/3 total innings over 22 starts. The 32-year-old wasn't as good in Atlanta, going 2-3 with a 5.24 ERA (5.14 FIP), a 1.55 WHIP and 40 strikeouts in 46 1/3 frames over 10 starts. Odorizzi should be guaranteed a rotation spot in Texas to open the 2023 season, but he'll have to pitch much better to be anything more than a back-end fantasy starter in deeper leagues.

Sat Sep 24 202211:34Jake Odorizzi Torched By Phillies Friday
Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Jake Odorizzi had a start to forget on Friday night against the Philadelphia Phillies, as he surrendered eight earned runs on 10 hits (one homer) while walking three and striking out six in four innings in the 9-1 loss. It was his worst performance since being acquired from the Houston Astros at the trade deadline, and he's now gone 1-3 with a 5.97 ERA (5.31 FIP), a 1.62 WHIP, 33 strikeouts and 14 walks in 37 2/3 innings and eight starts with Atlanta. In three starts in September, Odorizzi has allowed 13 earned runs on 17 hits (two homers) while walking seven and striking out 14. Despite his disappointing performances with the Braves so far, the 32-year-old veteran right-hander should remain in the starting rotation the rest of the way.

Sat Sep 3 202211:11Jake Odorizzi Scratched From Saturday's Start
The Atlanta Braves have scratched right-hander Jake Odorizzi (arm) from his scheduled start on Saturday against the Miami Marlins with arm fatigue. Bryce Elder will toe the rubber in his place. Instead, Odorizzi will start next against the Mariners in Seattle. It's not a serious situation for the 32-year-old, but the Braves don't want to take any chances. In his five starts since being acquired from the Houston Astros, Odorizzi has gone 1-2 with a 4.26 ERA (5.65 FIP), 1.46 WHIP, 19 strikeouts and seven walks in 25 1/3 innings pitched. In 17 starts on the season as a whole, he's gone 5-5 with a 3.90 ERA (4.23 FIP), a 1.24 WHIP and a 65:24 K:BB in 85 1/3 innings. Elder, a rookie, is 1-3 with a 4.45 ERA (4.82 FIP), a 1.52 WHIP and 24 strikeouts in 28 1/3 innings over six outings (five starts) for Atlanta.

Sat Aug 6 202219:59Jake Odorizzi Experienced Cramping During Start On Saturday
Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Jake Odorizzi "had cramping in his hamstring and glute in his last inning, got fluids via IV afterward, [and is] feeling fine now," he told The Athletic's David O'Brien. Acquired from Houston at the trade deadline, Odorizzi surrendered two runs through 4.2 innings in his Braves debut. Through 12 starts with the Astros, he went 4-3 with a 3.61 FIP, 6.90 K/9, and 2.55 BB/9. His established role and veteran presence give him fantasy allure in many leagues.

Wed Aug 3 202218:38Jake Odorizzi To Take The Mound On Saturday
Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Jake Odorizzi is expected to make his team debut on Saturday. He was acquired by the Braves from the Houston Astros on Monday. The 32-year-old has registered a 3.75 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 46/17 K/BB ratio through 12 starts this season. He should be a fine addition to the Braves rotation down the stretch of the season. It's uncertain which game of the doubleheader that Odorizzi will pitch. Regardless, fantasy managers should expect Odorizzi to continues pitching well as part of the Braves.

Tue Aug 2 202200:06Jake Odorizzi Acquired By Braves
The Atlanta Braves acquired starting pitcher Jake Odorizzi from the Houston Astros in exchange for relief pitcher Will Smith Monday, per Fox 26's Mark Berman. The Braves also traded for outfielder Robbie Grossman in a separate move. Odorizzi missed some time earlier in the season with left leg discomfort but he has produced a respectable 3.75 ERA, 1.15 WHIP, and 18.8% strikeout rate over 12 starts. Even better for the Braves, the veteran has only logged 60 innings so far this season, so he should be able to eat a chunk of innings for the rest of the regular season and allow some of the Braves' younger arms to rest a bit. Odorizzi is moving from one strong team to another, so his fantasy value won't be all that affected. He remains a streaming option in favorable matchups in deeper leagues at this time.

Mon Aug 1 202215:59Jake Odorizzi Throws Seven Scoreless Innings
Houston Astros starting pitcher Jake Odorizzi was at his best Sunday, throwing seven scoreless innings against the Seattle Mariners, though he was not able to earn the win after reliever Ryne Stanek gave up the lead in the eighth inning. Odorizzi allowed just two hits and two walks while striking out eight batters. He has a 4-3 record with a 3.75 ERA and 1.15 WHIP with 46 strikeouts in 60 innings over 12 starts this season. Odorizzi's name has come up in trade rumors despite his success, and his fantasy value could take a hit, depending on his destination if he is moved.

Tue Jul 26 202209:14Jake Odorizzi Exits With Blister On Monday
Houston Astros right-hander Jake Odorizzi (finger) was removed from Monday's start against the Oakland Athletics after a blister developed on one of the fingers of his right hand. The 32-year-old spoke to the press after the game and stated that it was the type of ailment he'd pitched through in the past. He tried to pitch through it again on Monday, but the team wound up electing to remove him from the game instead. It was an ugly day for the veteran as he went five innings and allowed seven hits, one walk and six earned runs while striking out two. The Astros are going with a six-man rotation right now and Odorizzi seems like the most logical pitcher to cut from the rotation if the team chooses to go back down to five starters. As of now, he's slated to make his next start this coming Sunday against the Seattle Mariners.

Thu Jun 30 202216:11Jake Odorizzi Believes He's Ready To Return
Houston Astros starting pitcher Jake Odorizzi (leg) told reporters that he believes he's ready to return to action and that he's just waiting to hear his next move from the organization. Odorizzi made his second rehab start on Wednesday. Pitching at Double-A Corpus Christi, he tossed five scoreless frames, allowing just three hits and no walks while striking out six. Odorizzi was off to a strong start to the year prior to suffering strains and sprains to the ligaments of his right foot and ankle. He has a 3.13 ERA and a 1.17 WHIP over seven starts with the Astros this season. His main problem at this point might be that the Astros have a seemingly complete rotation. Cristian Javier joined the starting rotation after Odorizzi's injury and Javier has been fantastic lately. He pitched seven scoreless, no-hit innings against the New York Yankees in his last outing, striking out 13 batters along the way. Astros manager Dusty Baker appears to have a tough decision to make regarding his rotation soon.

Sat Jun 18 202221:24Jake Odorizzi Throws Bullpen Session On Saturday
Houston Astros pitcher Jake Odorizzi (leg) threw a bullpen session on Saturday and could begin a rehab assignment soon. The veteran right-hander has thrown successful bullpen sessions over the past few weeks. He has been sidelined since May 16 due to strains and sprains to the ligaments of his right foot/ankle. The 32-year-old will continue to ramp up his activity and is on target to return in early July. He owned a 3.13 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 21:12 K:BB across 31 2/3 innings before the injury. Fantasy managers in deep-league formats can continue to stash Odorizzi.

Houston Astros starting pitcher Jake Odorizzi (ankle) was able to successfully throw a 20-pitch bullpen session on Tuesday. The right-hander has been sidelined since mid-May due to a left ankle injury. Odorizzi has been ramping up his work, so hopefully he won't be sidelined for too much longer. He was holding a 3.13 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 21/12 K/BB ratio through seven starts before the injury. Hopefully, fantasy managers will have him back by the end of June.

Mon Jun 6 202211:43Jake Odorizzi Ramping Up
Houston Astros starting pitcher Jake Odorizzi (leg) threw a 57-pitch, three-inning bullpen session on June 4 and didn't have any complications. Manager Dusty Baker said there's no timetable for Odorizzi to start a minor league rehab assignment, however. The 32-year-old has now thrown two bullpen sessions, but the Astros are taking it slow with him. Given his slow progression, Odorizzi might not be able to return to Houston's starting rotation until later this month. Before going on the shelf, he had been solid in seven starts this year, posting a 3.13 ERA and 1.17 WHIP with 21 strikeouts and 12 walks in 312/3 innings pitched for the 'Stros.

Tue May 24 202216:38Jake Odorizzi Throws Bullpen Session On Tuesday
Houston Astros starting pitcher Jake Odorizzi (ankle) tossed a bullpen session at Minute Maid Park on Tuesday. This is surprising and encouraging news as Odorizzi is just eight days removed from suffering what looked to be a devastating leg injury. There was speculation that he could have ruptured his Achilles. Instead, he was diagnosed with some strained and sprained ligaments. His timeline remains unclear, but Tuesday's bullpen session suggests that we may be looking at a return in terms of weeks rather than months.
