Aaron Civale News
Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Aaron Civale turned in a successful 2024 debut in Friday's 8-2 victory over the division-rival Toronto Blue Jays, hurling six one-run innings on four hits and one walk with six strikeouts. George Springer blasted a home run during the third frame, but Civale mostly cruised to the win in his opening showing of the year. Acquired by the Rays in a trade deadline deal last season, the 28-year-old right-hander struggled to the tune of a 5.36 ERA and 1.36 WHIP across 45 1/3 innings in Tampa during 2023 but got off on the right foot on Friday. With a whopping five members of the pitching staff unavailable for the Rays across various intervals of the campaign, Civale is going to be a big part of their rotation this year. He's slated to face the defending-champion Texas Rangers on Wednesday, where Civale will be a dicey fantasy option.
Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Aaron Civale (1-1) allowed one run on three hits while striking out six over six innings in Saturday's 5-2 spring victory over the Atlanta Braves. He picked up his first spring win of the season. It was the 28-year-old's best spring training start, lowering his ERA to 5.25 and 1.08 WHIP over 12 innings. Civale was limited to 122 innings in 2023 due to an oblique strain. He was traded to the Rays for Kyle Manzardo during last year's deadline. Civale posted a 3.46 ERA, 1.16 WHIP, and a 116:33 K: BB over 122 1/3 innings between the Guardians and Rays in 2023. ATC projects similar numbers for Civale in 2024, with the right-hander to go (9-8) with a 4.05 ERA and 133 K across 144 innings. With an ADP of 240.7, Civale is likely only to be a depth option in most league formats heading into 2024 drafts.
The Tampa Bay Rays and right-hander Aaron Civale have settled on a one-year, $4.9 million pact for the 2024 season, avoiding arbitration in the process. The right-hander was acquired by the Rays mid-season from the Cleveland Guardians and posted a healthy 3.46 ERA in 23 starts between the two clubs, although he limped to a 5.36 ERA across 10 starts after being acquired by Tampa Bay. The veteran's bread-and-butter lies within his control as he sports a 6.1% BB% for his career in which he has posted a 3.92 ERA across 86 appearances, all of which have been starts. Capped by a career 22% K%, Civale's fantasy value is middling, especially with his 23 starts in 2023 representing a career-high.

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Aaron Civale's 2023 looked much different during his time in Cleveland than the time spent in Tampa Bay. While with Cleveland, the righty posted a sparkling 2.34 ERA (3.53 FIP, 4.59 xFIP), 1.04 WHIP, and 5.6% HR/FB% over 13 games (77 IP). With Tampa, however, the ERA ballooned to 5.36 (3.63 FIP, 3.26 xFIP), the WHIP went up to 1.37, and the HR/FB% rocketed up to 15.6% over 10 games (45 1/3 IP). Interestingly, while pitching better in Cleveland the former third-round pick maintained a low 11.8% K-BB% and a low BABIP of .242 yet stranded 82.7% of runners, versus while in Tampa when his K-BB% was a high 23.7% with a high .370 BABIP and stranding a lowly 68.8% of runners. Not surprisingly, ATC projections call for a 2024 that is somewhere in between the two, with a 4.04 ERA, 1.19 WHIP, 16.3% K-BB%, and a 9-8 record. He's not a flashy pick for certain, but he should contribute decent numbers across the board and won't be a drain in any particular category, plus there's a small amount of upside. RotoBaller accordingly ranks him at 200, ahead of his NFBC ADP of 211.
