Rest-of-Season Projections
NRI pact with Kansas City
The Royals signed Hatch to a minor-league contract Friday that includes an invitation to spring training.
ANALYSIS
Hatch pitched for the Nippon-Ham Fighters in Japan this past season, posting a 3.53 ERA and 64:23 K:BB over 94.1 innings. He has experience both as a starter and reliever and it's not clear what role the Royals have planned for him, but he's likely to begin the year at Triple-A Omaha either way.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2021
Hatch debuted for the Blue Jays in 2020 with a 2.73 ERA out of the bullpen, but he's struggled to get back in the big leagues over the past two seasons. The right-hander has been working as a starter at Triple-A Buffalo and had a 4.67 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 113:38 K:BB across 131 frames in 2022. The Blue Jays have openings at the back end of the rotation with Yusei Kikuchi coming off a poor season and Hyun Jin Ryu recovering from Tommy John surgery, but Hatch is likely a longshot to open 2023 as a starter for Toronto. However, a solid showing at Triple-A should be enough to earn him a look at some point during the season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could pitch in doubleheader
Hatch could be recalled to pitch in Saturday's doubleheader in Baltimore, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.
ANALYSIS
He may have a bright future, but Hatch has struggled to prevent runs at Triple-A, despite an impressive 25.3 percent strikeout rate and 6.5 percent walk rate. The other options would be a Ross Stripling or a bullpen game.
