Rest-of-Season Projections
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Rea was a major rotation piece for the Brewers over the past two seasons, but the organization elected to turn down his $5.5 million club option for 2025 after he posted a 4.29 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 135:43 K:BB over 167.2 innings. He served up 52 home runs in 58 outings across the last two years and also had a 4.82 FIP during that span. Rea cleared waivers prior to Milwaukee turning down the option, so there's limited interest league-wide even at a modest salary. The 34-year-old may not get consistent starts again in 2025, but he should be able to secure a contract this winter, even if it's a minor-league pact. Read Past Outlooks
Notches second quality start
Rea (3-0) earned the win Monday versus the Marlins, conceding two runs on six hits and two walks over 6.2 innings. He struck out four.
ANALYSIS
The veteran right-hander looked sharp against a weak Miami lineup, tossing 57 strikes out of 98 total pitches. The only blemish on Rea's outing came in the seventh inning when Derek Hill popped a two-run homer to chase the Chicago starter from the game. Rea now owns a 2.48 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 29:9 K:BB across 36.1 innings. His solid performance should continue to keep him in the rotation, with his next turn currently slated to be against the White Sox at home this weekend.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2021
2018
2017
2016
Rea hadn't seen significant action in the majors since making 19 starts in 2016, but he caught on with the Brewers last year and was a serviceable swingman with a 4.55 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 110:38 K:BB over 124.2 innings. He started in 22 of his 26 appearances and had decent strikeout and walk rates (21.3 percent and 7.4 percent, respectively) but was hurt by the long ball (1.7 HR/9). Milwaukee opted to re-sign him early in the offseason, and he's likely to be a factor in the starting rotation again in 2024. Rea might not be a reliable fantasy starter but should be a solid streaming option, assuming he's able to replicate his performance, which a 4.39 xERA and 4.30 xFIP indicate is realistic.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
League unimpressed by arsenal
According to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, Rea likely went unclaimed on waivers due to his Stuff+ of 84, which ranked 55th of 58 qualified starters during the 2024 regular season.
ANALYSIS
The right-hander delivered results just below league average the past two seasons for the Brewers with a 4.40 ERA across 292.1 innings, and the organization declined his $5 million club option for 2025 after he passed through waivers. Rea was Milwaukee's most reliable starter at times in 2024 but faded down the stretch, and his non-dominant arsenal leads to a limited ceiling.
