Toronto Blue Jays pitching prospect Adam Macko (forearm) felt some left forearm soreness after his last Double-A New Hampshire outing on July 2 and is currently rehabbing it. It's not clear at the moment how the Jays will handle his rehab, and how much game action Macko might miss with the issue. The 23-year-old Slovakian left-hander is Toronto's No. 9 prospect for 2024 and wasn't expected to make his major-league debut this season, but fantasy managers in dynasty leagues need to hope his trajectory toward moving up to Triple-A action won't be affected much by this setback. In 15 starts this year, Macko has a 4.42 ERA, 1.17 WHIP, and 86:28 K:BB through 77 1/3 innings in the minor leagues.

Adam Macko Dominant When Healthy
Toronto Blue Jays pitching prospect Adam Macko is an impressive starter who has used 2023 to show what he can do when healthy, given the fact that he made just 17 outings over the two seasons prior. Born in Slovakia, the southpaw went to high school in Alberta before the Mariners made him their seventh-round pick in 2019. He found his way to Toronto in last offseason's Teoscar Hernandez trade. The 22-year-old's fastball sits in the mid-90s, and FanGraphs grades his fastball, slider, curveball, and changeup all as plus offerings. This advanced repertoire makes him a candidate to excel in the rotation long-term. During his latest outing this past week, Macko delivered five hitless innings. He allowed zero runs and just two walks while amassing eight strikeouts, ultimately earning the win. Walks have definitely been an issue for him before, but the upside with his impressive repertoire and strikeout rate is too exciting to ignore.

Blue Jays Get Erik Swanson, Adam Macko From M's
The Toronto Blue Jays are acquiring reliever Erik Swanson and left-handed pitching prospect Adam Macko from the Seattle Mariners on Wednesday in exchange for outfielder Teoscar Hernandez. Swanson was a very reliable setup man for the Mariners last year, posting a 1.68 ERA, 0.91 WHIP, three saves, 14 holds, 70 walks and only 10 strikeouts in 53 2/3 innings. The 29-year-old right-hander now moves to the tough American League East, where he'll be a setup man for closer Jordan Romano. Macko, 21, was ranked as Seattle's No. 8 prospect by MLB Pipeline before the trade. The young southpaw will be a long-term option for Toronto's rotation down the line. He made eight starts for High-A Everett in 2022, going 0-2 with a 3.99 ERA, 1.38 WHIP, 60 strikeouts and 20 walks in 38 1/3 innings pitched.
