2025 Fantasy Outlook
Though he was denied an Opening Day roster spot, Faucher was recalled early in the 2024 campaign and established himself as one of Miami's more reliable relief pitchers. The 29-year-old quickly established himself in leverage situations and was elevated to Miami's closer role after the team traded its star relievers. Faucher recorded six of Miami's seven saves after the trade deadline and appeared poised to finish the year as the Marlins' closer before suffering a right shoulder impingement in September. While this ended his season prematurely, the right-hander posted a solid 3.19 ERA over 53.2 innings and did not allow a home run all year. Faucher's 11.1 percent walk rate leaves a lot to be desired, but health permitting, he's the current favorite to open 2025 as the Marlins closer. Whether he can maintain that role is to be determined, as Andrew Nardi, Jesus Tinoco, or a free-agent could take the the job fairly easily. Read Past Outlooks
Placed on injured list
The Marlins placed Faucher on the 15-day injured list Saturday with a right shoulder impingement.
ANALYSIS
Faucher has been one of the most reliable members of Miami's bullpen this season, posting a 3.19 ERA and 1.40 WHIP through 53.2 innings while picking up six saves and 11 holds. Now that he's set to miss roughly two weeks, it's unclear who Miami will turn to in high-leverage situations, though Anthony Bender, John McMillon and Jesus Tinoco would seem to be the most likely candidates for ninth-inning work.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Faucher's spring debut was delayed over three weeks after he reported to camp with the oblique injury, but he displayed a mid-90s fastball and sharp mid-80s slider during the spring. Though he wasn't overly impressive in his first season in the majors in 2022, Faucher nonetheless has a chance to break camp with Tampa Bay in a low-leverage relief role. He has some upside given his strong minor league strikeout rates.
