Max Meyer Expected To Be An Option To Start
9 months agoMiami Marlins manager Skip Schumaker said that right-hander Max Meyer (elbow) is expected to be an option to start in 2024 after undergoing Tommy John surgery in August of 2022. The 24-year-old was ready to throw off a mound last July but did not pitch at all in 2023. He allowed five earned runs while walking two and striking out six in his first two major-league starts in 2022 before going under the knife. When healthy, Meyer should be yet another one of Miami's intriguing young starting arms. His fastball-slider combination has the potential to miss plenty of bats, so he's worth stashing in deep fantasy leagues to begin the season, even if he doesn't win a rotation job out of spring training. Given the fact that he missed all of last year, Meyer will most certainly be on a strict innings limit in his return to the big leagues.
