Rest-of-Season Projections
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Lyles' best feature from 2022 was again his durability, as he started 32 games and covered 179 innings. The right-hander added a 4.42 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 12-11 record while filling in as a de facto staff ace following John Means' Tommy John surgery. Lyles is entering his age-32 season, so there's little reason to expect significant improvement going forward. He'll be a viable middle-of-the-rotation starter for the Royals after he inked a two-year, $17 million contract. He was able to post a 1.3 HR/9 last season, his lowest mark since 2018 and one that's probably unrepeatable without a move to a more pitcher-friendly division than the AL East. Read Past Outlooks

Grabs fifth win
Lyles (5-17) allowed two hits and two walks while striking out three over five scoreless innings to earn the win Saturday over the Astros.
ANALYSIS
Lyles was defeated by the Astros in his last start, but he was able to put together his second scoreless outing of the season in Saturday's game. The veteran right-hander has had a tough season, posting a 6.24 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 116:44 K:BB through 171.2 innings over 30 starts this year. He's allowed 16 runs across 29.1 innings in September, a modest improvement on his season numbers. He's tentatively lined up to make his last start of the campaign at home versus the Yankees next week.

Baltimore's rotation was a carousel behind top starter John Means in 2021, so Lyles was signed in free agency to cover some innings. The veteran right-hander pitched in 32 games (30 starts) and threw 180 innings for the Rangers last season, but he was one of the worst qualified starters in the majors with a 5.15 ERA. An xFIP of 4.73 offers some room for improvement, but he's unlikely to receive significant help from his defense in Baltimore. Lyles flashed a 2.64 ERA with the Brewers between 2018 and 2019 but hasn't shown anything since to warrant fantasy consideration.
