Rest-of-Season Projections

Back with Rays
McKay (elbow) signed a two-year, minor-league contract with the Rays on Thursday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
ANALYSIS
The Rays released McKay in mid-November, though it didn't take long for him to return to the club. He won't pitch at all in 2023 as he rehabs from Tommy John surgery, though the team will hope he can retake the mound with renewed health for the 2024 campaign.

A shoulder injury that first popped up in February and ultimately required surgery wiped out McKay's 2020 season and his chance to progress from a rough rookie campaign. The brief time he did spend on the mound gives little insight into what might have been, as McKay balanced one impressive spring-training appearance in relief with one ugly start. His dominance in the minors (1.78 ERA, 0.84 WHIP, 11.8 K/9 over 172 innings) oversells his realistic MLB upside moving forward. From a stuff standpoint, he looks much more like a No. 4 starter than a No. 2 starter, and he also has the shoulder surgery and the Rays' frustrating pitcher usage to contend with. Even if he gets back for part of spring training, it seems likely that he would open the year at Triple-A or in extended spring training. This is his final minor-league option year and there are more reasons than not to avoid McKay in redraft mixed leagues.
