2023 Projections

Outrighted to Triple-A
Poppen cleared waivers Friday and was sent outright to Triple-A El Paso.
ANALYSIS
After being claimed off waivers from Arizona in December, Poppen is now set to begin 2023 in the minors. The 28-year-old reliever split time between the major and minor leagues last season, but he will likely need to improve upon his Triple-A stats (4.62 ERA and 1.31 WHIP) in order get back into the Padres' bullpen.

2020 Fantasy Outlook
Poppen was an unheralded prospect at the start of last season, yet he rose from Double-A to the majors based on a strong strikeout rate (10.6 K/9 at Triple-A and 12.4 K/9 at Double-A). He'll need to improve his control to stick in the majors as he walked 49 batters in 98 innings across three levels last season. He'll likely begin the season in the Triple-A rotation, but has an outside shot to win a long-relief role in the big league bullpen this spring.
