2022 Fantasy Outlook
There is a lot going on in Heaney's profile. Starting with the good: Heaney's 19.2 K-BB% since 2016 ranks 24th among all starters (min. 450 innings, 133 pitchers). He has not slowed down in that regard with a 19.5 K-BB% last year. The 10 pitchers above and below him in K-BB% in that aforementioned span have a 3.66 average ERA. Heaney had a 4.92 ERA over that time frame because of his 1.8 HR/9 (third highest). Home runs have always been an issue for him. The other issue is durability. Heaney has only thrown 499 innings since 2016. Most of the injuries were elbow and shoulder related. With his history out of the way, Heaney is getting a blank slate with the Dodgers. Simply put, Heaney's value hinges on how much trust you put in the Dodgers to keep him healthy and fix his home run issues. Read Past Outlooks

Throws 15-pitch bullpen session
Heaney (shoulder threw a 15-pitch bullpen session Tuesday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
Heaney began a throwing progression last weekend, and Tuesday's bullpen marked the first time he had thrown off a mound since landing on the injured list. The southpaw felt good Wednesday morning and will work on building up strength now that he's been cleared for mound work. Since Heaney has been on the injured list for nearly a month, he'll likely require a rehab assignment prior to rejoining the Dodgers.

Recent RotoWire Articles Featuring Andrew Heaney

Jason Shebilske analyzes the top wavier-wire options for the week, including Mariners rookie George Kirby.

Andrew Heaney is now on the injured list, but Jason Collette saw signs of a potential breakout in Heaney's first two starts of 2022. How high could Heaney climb with the Dodgers once he's back?

Heaney was a popular breakout pick prior to the 2020 season but posted numbers (4.46 ERA, 4.15 xFIP) that were only marginally better than in his previous campaign. He generates a high spin rate (2436 average rpm) on his sinker, though the rising action on the pitch makes it more akin to a four-seamer. Adding to Heaney's unusual arsenal is a curveball that has minimal break but is nonetheless effective -- the southpaw held hitters to a .203 average on the pitch last season while generating a 37.3 Whiff%. The combination of a walk rate (6.8%) and strikeout rate (25.1%) that were both better than average helped keep Heaney rostered in mixed leagues, but the 29-year-old is still looking for a true breakout campaign and has maintained good health only twice in the last five seasons. He'll have an unquestioned spot in the Angels' rotation in 2021 and should continue to function as a mid-rotation fantasy starter.
