2023 Fantasy Outlook
Kittredge was another one of the high profile Tampa Bay arms which went down in 2022 as he required Tommy John Surgery in early June, likely shelving him until August of 2023. Kittredge first had a UCL sprain in 2020, but was able to avoid surgery with a PRP injection and a rest and rehab approach but the ligament gave out in an outing against the Cardinals on June 7th in his second outing back off the injured list with back issues. The pre-injury version of him was far from the dominating version we saw in 2021 giving us yet another reminder of reliever volatility. Once Kittredge returns in 2023, it is unlikely he jumps right back into the role he had before he went down as other arms have stepped up in his place during his absence. We would not rule out one save for him simply because any pitcher in Tampa Bay could get a save at any time. Read Past Outlooks

Placed on 60-day IL
Kittredge was placed on the 60-day injured list by the Rays on Tuesday as he recovers from Tommy John surgery, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.
ANALYSIS
The move clears a spot on the 40-man roster for Trevor Kelley. Kittredge will miss at least the first half of the season following last June's Tommy John surgery.

2018
Kittredge was one of the biggest surprises of the 2021 season given how his 2020 season ended. He walked off the mound in early August with a sprained UCL, was outrighted off the roster and became a free agent. Nobody was interested in "damaged goods," but Kittredge did avoid Tommy John surgery and came back to the Rays on a minor-league deal. He pitched so well in camp that he made the club and had an amazing season which included making the All-Star team. The sinker/slider approach peppers the edges of the strike zone and is particularly tough on righties while being tough to elevate overall. His slider is an elite offering with a 41% Whiff rate that he will throw at any point in the count. It is expected he will once again be manager Kevin Cash's favorite Swiss Army Knife and be used all over the late innings, garnering more wins and saves with solid ratios as long as the elbow continues to hold up. He is why all players with elbow injuries don't immediately opt for TJS.
