2024 Fantasy Outlook
Houser's time in Milwaukee has come to an end as the club traded him to the Mets in December. The right-hander reached his apex in the Brewers organization in 2021 when he went 10-6 with a 3.22 ERA and 1.28 WHIP over 142.1 innings. He has been unable to replicate the results or the workload in the years since, though 2023 was mostly a positive season around stints on the injured list due to groin and elbow issues. Houser took the ball 23 times (21 starts) and cut his walk rate down to the lowest mark of his career. He might be a good fit in spacious Citi Field given his heavy sinker-slider approach. The modest strikeout rate leaves him on the fringes in most fantasy leagues, but Houser should be in the Opening Day rotation for the Mets in 2024. Read Past Outlooks
Shifting to bullpen
The Mets will move Houser to the bullpen ahead of their weekend road series versus the Rays, Abbey Mastracco of the New York Daily News reports.
ANALYSIS
Houser last started Thursday against the Cubs, allowing four runs on four hits and four walks while striking out two over five innings in a no-decision. He's registering an 8.16 ERA, 1.85 WHIP and 16:20 K:BB over 28.2 innings this season and holds an 0-3 record over six starts. With top pitching prospect Christian Scott coming up from Triple-A Syracuse to make his major-league debut Saturday against the Rays and with Tylor Megill (shoulder) inching closer to a return from the 15-day injured list, Houser will shift to a relief role, at least temporarily.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Window to play Tuesday?
Houser is scheduled to make his season debut Tuesday against the Tigers, and the Mets believe there is a window to play despite ongoing inclement weather, per Anthony DiComo of MLB.com.
ANALYSIS
Houser was acquired from Milwaukee in December and is beginning the campaign with a spot at the back end of New York's rotation. The right-hander made 23 appearances for the Brewers last season and had a 4.12 ERA over 111.1 innings, though his 1.39 WHIP and 7.8 K/9 don't provide much fantasy upside.

2022
2021
2020
2017
2016
Houser remained a fixture in the Brewers' rotation in 2022, finishing top-4 among Brewers pitchers in starts for a third straight year. However, he missed nearly two months with an elbow injury and was not particularly effective when he was out there, as both his ERA and WHIP were notably higher than they were in 2021. Houser took most of his lumps against left-handed hitters and on the road, as his splits against righties and at home were palatable or better. The Brewers have five other pitchers capable of breaking camp in the rotation, so despite his reliability Houser will not be guaranteed a spot, especially after the offseason signing of Wade Miley. Even if he comes away with one, it might be tough to believe in a bounceback, as although his velocity has remained steady, he will be entering his age-30 season and both his K/9 and BB/9 have trended the wrong direction three years running.
