Patrick Sandoval News
Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Patrick Sandoval aims to shift gears from a rocky start to the season when he gets the ball during Tuesday's start at home versus the visiting Tampa Bay Rays and right-hander Aaron Civale. Sandoval fared far better in last Wednesday's win over the Miami Marlins, but he's still yielded five earned runs in 7 1/3 innings to begin the campaign and gave up nine runs in 11 1/3 spring training frames. The 27-year-old left-hander has thrown well in his past three appearances against the Rays dating back to 2022, posting a 2.87 ERA and 16 strikeouts over 15 2/3 innings. Sandoval is worth adding as a streamer ahead of Tuesday night's waiver wire runs in season-long fantasy leagues for a decent matchup, and he'll also be worth a look in DFS contests for those looking to go cheap at pitcher.
The Los Angeles Angels announced on Tuesday that left-hander Patrick Sandoval will start on Opening Day on March 28 against the Baltimore Orioles on the road. Against the defending American League East champions on the road in a hitter-friendly ballpark is not the place you want to take your chances on Sandoval for fantasy purposes. Ranked as RotoBaller's No. 99 fantasy starter heading into the 2024 season, the 27-year-old southpaw went 7-13 last year with a 4.11 ERA (4.18 FIP) and 1.51 WHIP with 74 walks and 128 strikeouts in 144 2/3 innings over his 28 starts in his fifth season in the big leagues. It was a step back from his 2022 campaign. On top of it, Sandoval hasn't been sharp in Cactus League play this spring with a 7.15 ERA, 10 strikeouts and six walks in 11 1/3 innings.
Los Angeles Angels southpaw Patrick Sandoval (oblique) hit the 15-day injured list on Tuesday, according to Angels PR. In a corresponding move, the club recalled lefty Kolten Ingram to join the bullpen. With less than a week to go in the regular season, the 26-year-old Sandoval won't pitch until 2024, as the Angels are set to miss the playoffs. He last pitched on Monday against the Texas Rangers and experienced right oblique tightness before leaving early. Across 144 2/3 innings this year, Sandoval pitched to a 4.11 ERA, 19.6% strikeout rate, 11.3% walk rate, and 1.51 WHIP with seven victories. The five-year veteran remains arbitration-eligible, so he'll likely head into next season as a member of the Angels rotation once again.

In 2021, Patrick Sandoval had a 3-6 W-L record, 3.62 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 94 Ks (87.0 IP) and then had an ADP of 198 for the 2022 season. Last year, Sandoval had a 6-9 W-L record, 2.91 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 151 Ks (148.2 IP) and now has an ADP of ~217. It's not often a pitcher can post a sub-3.00 ERA and still fall down draft boards, yet that is the case. And there is merit to that given Sandoval had a 3.91 xERA, 3.67 xFIP and 3.94 SIERA while his 9.4% BB% ranked in the 28th percentile. On the positive side, Sandoval's 47.7% GB% was higher than the league average (44.9%) despite dropping from 51.1% in 2021 and his 23.7% K% ranked in the 57th percentile. Sandoval also limits hard contact with a Barrel% ranking in the 76th percentile and a HardHit% ranking in the 79th percentile, both being similar to his 2021 numbers. Given Sandoval's xFIP and SIERA last year were both lower than in 2021, it seems a surprise that he is going later in drafts than he did last year, even after missing a month with a back injury. It's fair to expect regression on Sandoval's ERA but even then, he's a fine option to fill out your rotation in the later rounds.
