The Blue Jays recalled Tate from Triple-A Buffalo on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Tate posted a 4.59 ERA and 1.41 WHIP through 33.1 innings with the Orioles before being DFA'd by the club in August. However, he's given up just one run over five innings since joining the Jays organization Sept. 1, and he'll now return to the majors to give Toronto's bullpen a fresh arm. Luis Frias was optioned to Buffalo in a corresponding move.

Stat Review
How does Dillon Tate compare to other relievers?
This section compares his stats with all relief pitcher seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 30 innings)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.

* Exit Velocity, Barrels/BBE %, Balls Hit 95+ MPH %, and Spin Rate are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 30 IP). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2021
2020
2017
2016
Tate was arguably Baltimore's most important reliever last season. With Tyler Wells shifting from the bullpen to the starting rotation, and the team trading away two relievers right before the season, Tate was a workhorse for the O's, pitching a career-high 73.2 innings across 67 appearances. His strikeout rate (20.5%) doesn't stand out, but he makes up for it with an upper-50s groundball percentage thanks to his league-best sinker as measured by Statcast run value (-21). Tate's changeup was excellent for the fourth year in a row and his slider supplanted his cutter as a secondary he could reliably count on. The 28-year-old added five saves and 16 holds in his setup role to compliment his rock-solid 3.05 ERA (3.47 FIP), 0.99 WHIP and career-best 5.5% walk rate. Some ratio regression is likely, but Tate should remain part of the bridge to Felix Bautista and pitch in a handful of ancillary saves in 2023.
Summer camp did not have stats but it did have injuries. Tate experienced forearm soreness in an intrasquad game in July, and while an MRI showed no structural damage, the injury cost him the first three-plus weeks of the season. A right finger sprain later forced Tate to the IL late in September, but in between he was quite good, posting a 3.24 ERA and a couple holds with only one HR allowed in 16.2 innings. The No. 4 overall pick by the Rangers in 2015, Tate has been traded twice and lost his shine a while ago, but his future as a major-league reliever looks a lot brighter than it did at this time last year. He continued with his sinker-heavy approach but showed more confidence in his slider last season and enjoyed great results with the pitch. Assuming he's healthy, Tate should compete for a setup role, and if he shows another level with the strikeout rate, he could challenge for saves.
Tate converted almost exclusively to relief in 2019, starting just three times after previously starting nearly all of his games. The transition appeared to work in the minors, as he cruised to a 3.25 ERA in 44.1 innings across the three highest levels of the Orioles' system, striking out 22.2% of opposing batters while walking 5.6%. He looked overmatched in his 21-inning big-league debut, posting a 6.43 ERA, though his peripherals weren't all that bad. His 21.5% strikeout rate and 9.7% walk rate weren't too much worse than league average and are numbers that could theoretically work for a middle reliever given his 59.3% groundball rate. He no longer appears to have a future as a starter, however, and he doesn't look likely to be near the top of the closer depth chart even in Baltimore.
Tate was selected with the fourth overall pick in the 2015 draft by the Rangers. The UC Santa Barbara standout didn't quite have the expected polish, though, and saw his velocity dip as a starter at Low-A to begin the 2016 campaign. Tate also battled a hamstring injury, limping to a 5.12 ERA in 65 innings. Opposing batters hit .311 against the 22-year-old righty, who was unable to strike out one batter per inning. His control was also suspect, as he walked 27 batters in those 65 innings. Tate was eventually dealt to the Yankees in the Carlos Beltran trade, where he finished the season in the bullpen with better success. Tate was a closer in college, and it remains to be seen if the Yankees will continue developing him as a starter. Regardless of his role, Tate's live arm still possesses plenty of upside. Still, he needs to improve his changeup as well as his command to remain a viable starting option.
The first pitcher selected in last year’s draft (fourth overall), Tate is a difficult player to evaluate at this point, as it is completely unclear if he will be able to make it as a starter. He has a plus-plus heater and a hard slider that could be an out pitch at the highest level -- essentially the tools to be a shutdown reliever. However, given the investment the Rangers made in the 6-foot-2 righty, he will be developed as a starter for now. Tate, 21, allowed one run while striking out eight and walking three in nine innings (six appearances) across short-season and Low-A last year, but it’s nearly impossible to draw anything from that, as they were one or two-inning appearances and the sample size is minuscule. If a third pitch comes along and Tate can show the ability to withstand a heavy workload, the Rangers could have a top-of-the-rotation starter, and if not, he has the realistic floor of an above-average big league closer.

Might not be tendered contract
PBaltimore Orioles
November 1, 2023
Tate, who missed the entire 2023 season with a right elbow injury, could be non-tendered this offseason, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Tate was a key setup man for the Orioles in 2022, producing a 3.05 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 60:16 K:BB over 73.2 innings. He experienced numerous setbacks with his throwing arm this season, however, and his health status is unclear. Tate made $1.5 million in 2023 and would be in line for a similar salary in 2024.
