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 four-inning start at Triple-A
Meyer worked four innings in his start Saturday for Triple-A Jacksonville, striking out two while giving up four earned runs on six hits and no walks.
ANALYSIS
Meyer's results in his second start with Jacksonville were less noteworthy than the fact that he pitched at all for the Triple-A club, as the organization's decision to have him take the hill this weekend suggests that he isn't viewed as a candidate to fill the rotation spot at the big-league level that recently opened up when Jesus Luzardo (elbow) was placed on the 15-day injured list. Despite Meyer's success in his three outings with the big club earlier this season (2.12 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 14:3 K:BB in 17 innings), the Marlins seem committed to keeping him on a once-a-week pitching schedule in the minors wherein he makes abbreviated starts, as the organization is keen on managing his 2024 workload coming off his August 2022 Tommy John surgery. Meyer is expected to rejoin the big-league rotation at some point in the second half of the season, though he could still operate under some restrictions with his innings or pitch counts at that time.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Working on pitch mix
Meyer is focusing on relying less on his slider while pitching in Triple-A Jacksonville's rotation, according to Christina De Nicola of MLB.com.
ANALYSIS
The right-hander made early season starts for Miami and flashed his potential with a 2.12 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 14:3 K:BB over 17 innings, but he was sent to Triple-A in an attempt to manage his workload. The 25-year-old relied heavily on his slider with 49 percent usage while up with the Marlins, but the organization now wants him to focus on improving his four-seamer and changeup. It's only a matter of time before Meyer rejoins Miami's rotation this season, and he could be set up for more sustained success if he can fine-tune his other offerings beyond the slider.

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.
