2024 Fantasy Outlook
Iriarte's stuff clearly belongs in the big leagues, it's just a question of whether he fits best as a starter or reliever. A 6-foot-2 righty with a mid-90s fastball that could touch triple digits and two quality secondary pitches in his slider and changeup, Iriarte logged 90.1 innings last season across High-A and Double-A after logging 91.1 innings in 2022. He threw three or fewer innings in 14 of his 27 appearances, often by design, but in some cases due to poor command. It's possible he will be San Diego's closer of the future, but they'll keep developing him as a starter for another year. He will need to improve on the 13.5 percent walk rate he logged at Double-A, but if he does, he could join the big-league rotation this summer. Read Past Outlooks

The White Sox recalled Iriarte from Double-A Birmingham on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Iriarte started in 22 of his 23 appearances with Birmingham and posted a 3.71 ERA and 1.28 WHIP in 126 innings, but he's likely to begin his big-league career as a member of the bullpen. Expect the 22-year-old right-hander to be deployed mostly in lower-leverage situations initially.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Likely to have limited usage
PChicago White Sox
September 10, 2024
Manager Grady Sizemore indicated the White Sox aren't likely to throw Iriarte on back-to-back days or for more than an inning at a time, reports Scott Merkin of MLB.com.
ANALYSIS
The 22-year-old was called up by the White Sox on Sept. 1 when rosters expanded to 28 players, and he's given up an earned run with a 4:6 K:BB over 2.2 frames in his three appearances. Iriarte had been working out of the rotation for Double-A Birmingham prior to the promotion and had a 3.71 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 122:57 K:BB across 126 innings. The right-hander is one of the organization's top prospects, so it's no surprise his usage will be monitored carefully down the stretch.
