Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2021
2020
2019
Ferguson returned from Tommy John surgery last May after missing the entire 2021 season. The southpaw was demoted after just one appearance, but returned to the Dodgers a few weeks later and pitched a handful of outings before he experienced left forearm tendinitis. Los Angeles played it cautiously with Ferguson, who returned after a month and extended his scoreless streak to 19 games before finally permitting a run in mid August. He wasn't as sharp from that point forward, recording a 1.88 WHIP and 11 walks over his final 16 innings. Ferguson finished the season with a 12% walk rate, issuing 17 over 34.2 innings, but he only permitted one home run and continued his success against right-handed hitters (.173 BA since 2020). The lefty isn't near the top of the Dodgers' leverage ladder, but it's possible he enters the mix for saves at some point in 2023, especially if he goes on another scoreless streak like last year.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Erratic of late
Ferguson's 2.18 WHIP is the highest mark among all qualified pitchers since the All-Star break.
ANALYSIS
Ferguson has permitted 24 baserunners across 12 appearances since the All-Star break. He has managed to escape with only four runs crossing the plate over that span, but it's still a drastic run of inconsistency for the late-inning option, who has racked up 14 holds the season. Overall, opponents hold a lowly .224 xBA versus Ferguson this season, so the larger sample size remains fond of his performance.
