Andrew Heaney News
Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Andrew Heaney (shoulder) could face hitters at extended spring training Sunday. He threw innings off a mound on Thursday and could face live hitters for the first time since mid-April. The 30-year-old continues to make progress but has no clear timetable for a return. He has been sidelined for over a month now due to left shoulder discomfort. The southpaw owns a 1-0 record and a 0.68 WHIP across 16 strikeouts over 10 1/3 innings in 2022. Heaney should be stashed in all league formats and will look to return to the mound soon.
Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Andrew Heaney (shoulder) completed his second bullpen session Friday afternoon. He threw 30 pitches in the session. According to Dodgers beat writer Bill Plunkett, the southpaw could begin throwing to live hitters after he has one more bullpen session. The 30-year-old has been sidelined for over a month now due to left shoulder discomfort. He dazzled in his second outing of the year, striking out 11 Cincinnati Reds over six scoreless innings. That strong performance, coupled with the Dodgers' strong track record with pitchers, makes him a worthy stash in all but the most shallow of fantasy leagues.
Los Angeles Dodgers left-hander Andrew Heaney (shoulder) said he will throw a bullpen session on Tuesday. It will be his first time throwing off a mound since he went on the injured list almost a month ago with left shoulder discomfort. The 30-year-old southpaw will travel with the Dodgers on their current road trip. Heaney started a throwing program last weekend, but the Dodgers won't rush him back, which means it could still be a while before he's activated from the injured list and back in the starting rotation. Fantasy managers must remain patient, as he'll likely need at least several minor league rehab outings before he's ready to return. Heaney hadn't allowed an earned run while walking three and striking out 16 over 10 1/3 innings in two starts before his injury.

Last year, Los Angeles Angels starting pitcherAndrew Heaney avoided a stint on the injured list for the first time since 2015, which is impressive given he has spent a total of 409 days on the IL in the last five years. In 2018, Heaney did make 30 starts and throw 180 innings, so you could also believe he's turned the corner health-wise with two of the last three seasons providing a good accumulation of innings. Performance-wise, Heaney has been a useful fantasy contributor, putting up good strikeout numbers, albeit with a pretty high ERA. Heaney has a 25.6% strikeout rate since 2018, which is 25th-best among all starting pitchers with at least 300 innings thrown in that time. Although Heaney hasn't had a year with a sub-4.00 ERA since 2015, his underlying numbers do indicate there is more than meets the eye. In the last three years, Heaney's 4.42 ERA is significantly higher than his xFIP (3.91) and his SIERA (3.84), so even if he can lower his ERA, Heaney should provide value at his current ADP of around 209. Given his ADP, the injury risk with Heaney is built in and a repeat of his 2018 season (180 innings, 180 K's, 4.15 ERA and 1.20 WHIP ) is achievable. Heaney is still only 29 years old, too, so he shouldn't be considered in decline. In fact, he could be a late bloomer on the brink of having his best season, provided he stays healthy, of course.
