Rest-of-Season Projections
Out for season after surgery
Venters (shoulder) underwent surgery in mid-August to address a torn capsule in his left shoulder and will miss the rest of the season, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.
ANALYSIS
Venters has been on the injured list since early July and now won't be able to throw for about four months, so it's no guarantee he'll be ready for spring training, assuming he opts to continue his career. The 34-year-old finished the season with 11 runs allowed and a 12:10 K:BB across eight innings with the Braves and Nationals.

Venters' 3.67 ERA in 34.1 innings with the Rays and Braves last season isn't particularly impressive in a vacuum, but the fact that it came after the lefty's recovery from his third Tommy John surgery and his five-year absence from the league made it truly remarkable. His 18.6% strikeout rate was a full eight points below his pre-injury numbers, making his 11.0% walk rate less tenable, but he remained excellent at keeping the ball on the ground, recording a 69.1% groundball rate and allowing just one home run. The performance was enough for the Braves to bring him back on a one-year deal. He'll likely fill a lefty specialist role, having held lefties to a .400 OPS last season while giving up a .739 OPS to righties. His story is inspiring, but the veteran's role limits his fantasy value, and it would be a surprise to see him involved in the closer conversation should the job open up.
