2025 Fantasy Outlook
Lavender was poached from the Mets by the Rays in this offseason's Rule 5 draft. Lavender had the internal brace procedure in May of 2024, and the Rays will likely maximize his recovery and rehab time before activating him from the injured list sometime this summer. He's heading into his age-25 season and has a career 3.35 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 76:30 K:BB in 51 innings (40 appearances) at Triple-A. Once healthy, he should work in low-leverage situations, but if his control improves, he could slowly work his way up the bullpen hierarchy. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a one-year contract with the Rays in March of 2025.
DFA'd by Rays
The Rays activated Lavender (elbow) from the 60-day injured list and designated him for assignment.
Analysis
Lavender underwent surgery in late August or early September to remove a bone spur in his left elbow. It's possible he'll be available for the start of spring training. However, he'll be exposed to waivers after Thursday's move. Lavender, who turns 25 in January, has yet to make his MLB debut.
