Rest-of-Season Projections
Will start season on IL
Newcomb will start the 2024 season on injured list due to left knee irritation, MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Newcomb underwent surgery on his lateral meniscus in his left knee this past September, but he was able to make his spring debut March 13 against the Royals. However, the left-hander is still not ready and will miss the start of the 2024 season. In addition to Newcomb, the Athletics will also be without Luis Medina (knee) and Ken Waldichuk (elbow) to begin the season.

Newcomb earned a rotation spot to begin the 2020 season, but his poor play resulted in the southpaw making just four starts for Atlanta. He tossed 13.2 innings early in the year, posting an 11.20 ERA and 1.90 WHIP during that time before being sent down in August. While his woes occurred over a limited sample, he had a career-low 36.0 GB% with a 9.6% barrel rate, resulting in a 2.63 HR/9. His 5.63 SIERA was slightly more encouraging, but it was still the worst mark of his career. Newcomb was a fantasy liability last year, and he certainly isn't guaranteed a starting role in 2021. The 27-year-old's average fastball velocity dipped to 93.4 mph in 2020, and he didn't force enough swings and misses to warrant serious consideration for a high-leverage role. Newcomb has had some success in past seasons, but his recent results suggest that he could be better off left on the fantasy waiver wire to begin the year.
