2024 Fantasy Outlook
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.

ADP
Win streak halted
Rea didn't factor into Sunday's decision, allowing three runs on five hits and a walk across 5.2 innings against the Orioles. He struck out six.
ANALYSIS
After picking up victories in his first two starts this season, Rea wasn't able to add to his season total Sunday. Rea struggled to keep the ball inside Oriole Park, allowing solo home runs to Cedric Mullins in the second inning and to Ryan O'Hearn in the third inning for his first two homers given up this season. Through 16.2 innings, Rea owns a 2.70 ERA and a 1.20 WHIP and is set up to face the Cardinals on Saturday.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Quick return to majors?
Wade Miley will be placed on the injured list with a lat injury, according to Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, which could mean that Rea, who was optioned to Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday, makes a quick return to the Brewers.
ANALYSIS
Rea gave up just one run in 5.2 frames during his season debut April 13 in San Diego, but he's otherwise been unremarkable with a 6.39 ERA across 25.1 innings. The Brewers already have Brandon Woodruff, Aaron Asby and Jason Alexander on the 60-day IL with shoulder injuries, and Miley's absence will further stretch their starting depth. Rea seems likely to re-enter the rotation soon, with Milwaukee also requiring an additional starter to round out the unit.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2021
2018
2017
2016
Rea put together a solid 2020 campaign for the most part, but his ERA for the year was really damaged by two poor outings, especially his last of the season. He surrendered four runs on five hits, including two home runs to the Cubs in just two innings. The right-hander did see his velocity rise a tick during the 2020 season, sitting around 93 mph. He also mixed in his cutter (17.8 percent of his pitches) and curveball (19.1%) effectively. Rea ended up inking a one-year deal with Chicago in December to avoid arbitration, but the club released him in January so that he could pursue opportunities in Japan. If he does end up latching on somewhere overseas, he'll likely have an opportunity to serve as a starter.
