26-Year-Old PitcherRP
Kansas City Royals
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Veneziano made his major league debut in 2023 throwing just 2.1 innings in two appearances in late September. The 26-year-old was decent across 89.2 innings in Triple-A in 2023, compiling a 4.22 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and a 7.97 K/9. A left-hander, Veneziano is currently one of two healthy southpaws in Kansas City's bullpen, the other being Will Smith who will likely work in high leverage situations. Unlikely to hold much fantasy appeal in the new season, Veneziano could serve as a left-handed specialist for the Royals in 2024. Read Past Outlooks

April 22, 2024
The Royals optioned Veneziano to Triple-A Omaha on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Veneziano's latest stint with Kansas City lasted just two days, with the left-hander appearing in relief both Saturday and Sunday against the Orioles and allowing two runs (one earned) on four hits and one walk. The Royals called up right-hander Tyler Duffey from Triple-A to replace Veneziano in the bullpen.
