Rest-of-Season Projections
2022 Fantasy Outlook
Munoz, who missed the majority of the past two seasons after underdoing Tommy John surgery in March of 2020, walked two and struck out a batter over two-thirds of an inning during his lone appearance with the Mariners last year. The fact he was able to return was a surprise after he endured a setback in his recovery last March, but he was back on the mound in July and made substantial progress to return in October. The flamethrower didn't lose his velocity, as he topped 100-mph on his fastball during the outing, though his slider (82.2-mph) lost a few ticks on the radar gun and missed the plate on four of five pitches thrown. Munoz should be healthy entering 2022 and has upside worthy of a late-round flier for those speculating on saves. Just remember Seattle uses a closer committee and he may not get a ton of chances. Munoz is a riskier pick in draft-and-hold formats due to his limited innings potential. Read Past Outlooks

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2021
2020
2019
Despite being shut down early in 2019 and slow played in the spring, Munoz experienced arm soreness, requiring Tommy John surgery in late March. The Padres dealt him to Seattle at the trade deadline. If there's a silver lining, it's the procedure was done early enough so Munoz should only miss a month or two this season. It remains to be seen if his 100-mph fastball loses any zip and if he's still willing and able to throw his sharp 86.5-mph slider 32% of the time. Munoz was on track to be a late-inning reliever with San Diego, and Seattle no doubt envisions him in a similar role. The Mariners are still rebuilding, so there's no reason to rush their 22-year-old prized arm back. Certainly in long-term leagues, Munoz is an intriguing stash. Don't assume it pays off in 2021 as a lot has to go right for him to collect second-half saves.
