Rest-of-Season Projections
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Meyer's eventual role is to be determined, but he should be a valuable fantasy commodity as long as he stays healthy. The 6-foot righty underwent Tommy John surgery in August of 2022, just a few weeks after making his big-league debut. He is set to be fully healthy this spring and should compete for a spot in the Opening Day rotation. If Meyer were to struggle with a starter's workload over the next year or two, he has the stuff to excel in the ninth inning, and that might even be a preferable long-term outcome for those in roto dynasty leagues. He has excellent movement on his mid-90s fastball and one of the best sliders in pro ball, so it's not hard to envision him being one of the best closers in the game if he went down that path. Meyer also sports a decent third-pitch changeup and good enough command to start, it'll just come down to the workload. Dating back to his time at Minnesota, Meyer's one year logging over 80 innings was in 2021, when he tossed 111 innings in the minors. Read Past Outlooks
Makes Opening Day roster
The Marlins informed Meyer on Saturday that he would make the team's Opening Day roster, Craig Mish of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Along with winning a roster spot, Meyer is also the favorite to begin the season as the fifth member of Miami's starting rotation. The 25-year-old right-hander fired seven scoreless innings this spring while striking out five batters and walking one. Meyer's time in the majors may be short-lived, however, with Eury Perez (elbow), Braxton Garrett (shoulder) and Edward Cabrera (shoulder) all potentially returning relatively early in the season.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
Meyer will miss the entire 2023 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery in August of 2022. Fortunately for him, he got to the majors and onto the 40-man roster before suffering the injury, but he only pitched six innings in the big leagues. Meyer leaned heavily on his plus-plus 89-mph slider and also threw his mid-90s four-seamer 40 percent of the time. His above-average changeup rounds out a full starter's pitch mix. The six-foot righty has generally thrown enough strikes to comfortably project as a starter, but he has not yet proved he can handle a starter's workload. Meyer threw 111 innings in 2021 and was limited to 67 innings in 2022 due to the injury. He will be 20 months removed from the procedure when spring training 2024 rolls around, and it's possible Meyer comes back as good or better than ever, although roughly 20% of pitchers fail to return to pre-TJS heights.

Will ramp up slowly in camp
Meyer is fully recovered from his elbow injury, but the Marlins won't push him too hard to begin spring training, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. "It's probably more mental than the physical," manager Skip Schumaker said Thursday about a group of pitchers that also includes Trevor Rogers and Anthony Bender. "They are healthy physically and trying to get over that mental hurdle of what if they throw too hard or throw too much."
