Edwin Uceta

Edwin Uceta

27-Year-Old PitcherRP
Tampa Bay Rays
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Pitching for his fourth team in as many seasons, Uceta emerged as a trusted reliever for Tampa Bay, particularly as the 2024 campaign was winding down. The 26-year-old was recalled from the minors in late-June and became part of the Rays' fluid mix for save opportunities after closer Pete Fairbanks suffered a season-ending injury last August, recording five of the team's final 13 saves for a near 40 percent team save share over that span. For the season, Uceta produced an outstanding 1.51 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 57:8 K:BB across 41.2 innings, though his mediocre results during his minor league career (4.15 ERA, 1.28 WHIP over 457.2 innings across eight seasons) make it difficult to project what he'll offer this coming year. The right-hander is likely to remain part of Tampa Bay's high-leverage mix to open 2025, but any save chances will likely correlate with Fairbanks' availability this season. Read Past Outlooks

Escapes with first save of 2025
PTampa Bay Rays
July 2, 2025
Uceta collected the save in the Rays' 6-5 win over the Athletics on Wednesday, allowing one run on four hits while striking out three batters.
Analysis
After striking out the side in the eighth, Eric Orze was brought out for the ninth to protect the Rays' four-run lead, as Pete Fairbanks was unavailable after pitching the last two days. Orze was quickly pulled after yielding a solo homer to Max Muncy and a double to Austin Wynns, which prompted Uceta's insertion into Wednesday's game. Uceta gave up a single to four of the next five batters, but he managed to protect Tampa Bay's lead by striking out the last two batters he faced. Uceta has coughed up at least one earned run in three of his last five outings but has also collected 14 strikeouts over that span. He sits at a 5.20 ERA and 1.40 WHIP across 36.1 innings this season.
