Gavin Stone

24-Year-Old PitcherSP
Los Angeles Dodgers AAA
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Stone is finally a known entity in dynasty and draft and hold formats, but it still seems like he hasn't gotten enough credit for posting a 1.48 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 168:43 K:BB in 121.2 innings last season across the top three levels of the minors. Known for his plus changeup, Stone popped up in 2021 after being a fifth-round pick in 2020 and had a strong first pro season in the lower levels, but he took it up a notch in 2022. The 6-foot-1 righty has a 93-95 mph four-seamer that gets plenty of whiffs and a sinker with good armside run. His upper-80s slider is more of a groundball inducer than bat-misser. Stone's changeup is excellent because he lands it for strikes and hitters swing over the top of it. The Dodgers know how to develop quality starting pitchers, and Stone figures to be the next example of that. It's always a crowded rotation to break into, but he could get a chance sometime this season. Read Past Outlooks

Optioned back to Triple-A
PLos Angeles Dodgers  AAA
May 30, 2023
Los Angeles optioned Stone to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Stone got knocked around again Sunday against the Rays and has now surrendered 17 runs -- 16 earned -- through his first three major-league starts covering just 10 innings. Alex Vesia will join the Dodgers' bullpen Tuesday in a corresponding roster move, with Michael Grove (groin) lined up to fill the rotation vacancy next weekend versus the Yankees.
