Cade Cavalli News
Washington Nationals starting pitcher Cade Cavalli (elbow) threw a 60-pitch bullpen session at the team's spring complex in West Palm Beach, Florida on Tuesday, and his velocity reached 96 mph. Cavalli is recovering from last year's Tommy John surgery and isn't expected to be available for the Nats until sometime later this summer, but it's encouraging to hear he's progressing in his throwing program. The 25-year-old former first-round pick is Washington's No. 5 prospect for 2024, per MLB Pipeline, and figures to eventually pick up starts on a rebuilding club and carry some mixed-league fantasy relevance at some point during the second half of the season, but his time may not come until the late stages of the campaign. Dynasty managers should be keeping a closer eye on his status than those in redraft settings.
The Washington Nationals announced on Tuesday that they placed right-hander Cade Cavalli (elbow) on the 60-day injured list while he recovers from Tommy John surgery. In corresponding moves, the team selected the contract of right-hander Derek Law and moved infielder Trey Lipscomb to minor-league camp. Cavalli had elbow reconstruction in March of last year and is hoping to rejoin Washington's starting rotation in June of this year. The 25-year-old former first-rounder is the club's No. 4 prospect, per MLB Pipeline and possesses an electric upper-90s fastball, but fantasy managers in deeper leagues will want to temper expectations for him when he returns from Tommy John this summer. For a pitcher that has displayed only average command so far, that could be an issue for him in the second half in 2024.
Washington Nationals right-hander Cade Cavalli (elbow), who is 11 months removed from Tommy John surgery, threw his first bullpen session on Monday and had another one on Thursday. He will continue to throw off a mound three times a week until he's cleared to face live hitters. Cavalli continues to target a full return to the majors around June, which would be 14 months after he had elbow surgery. The 25-year-old is making good progress but isn't expected to pitch in any Grapefruit League games in spring training. He was a first-round pick in 2020 out of Oklahoma and was expected to be a part of the team's starting rotation in 2022 before blowing his elbow out in spring training that year. There's plenty of upside with Cavalli, but fantasy managers will want to temper expectations for him in 2024 in his first year back from Tommy John surgery.

One of the marquee prospects in the Washington Nationals organization, Cade Cavalli (shoulder), is poised to play a vital role in the Nats rotation over the next couple of years. The 24-year-old made the first step by making his pro debut last season which turned out to be a hitter-friendly start. He then succumbed to shoulder inflammation in late August, which caused him to miss the remainder of the season. Cavalli made 20 starts in Triple-A Rochester and molded a 3.71 ERA, 1.175 WHIP, and 104 punchouts. He also fostered a 26.1% strikeout rate with a 3.80 FIP. As of recent news, Cavalli is ready to roll for the upcoming season and is expected to play some form of role in Washington's rotation. According to Nationals manager Dave Martinez, Cavalli is not guaranteed to make the Opening Day rotation. "There's nothing really set in stone," said Martinez. "Everything's wide open." Although, if he gives in to Steamer and displays a 4.47 FIP and 1.39 WHIP, he'll likely contribute from the bullpen until he builds resiliency. Washinton's top pitching prospect will make little impact with a 559.40 ADP in re-draft formats but is an intriguing asset to have in dynasty leagues.
