ANALYSIS
McCarty hasn't pitched since 2022, and he'll now look to create a name for himself overseas after five seasons of affiliated ball. The 28-year-old lefty posted a 4.54 ERA and 1.33 WHIP in 37.2 innings with the Guardians in 2022.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
McCarty came up through the Guardians' system as a starter, but most of his major-league action in 2022 came as a reliever. He worked 37.2 innings over 13 appearances (two starts), recording a 4.54 ERA and 1.33 WHIP. At the Triple-A level, he posted a 3.58 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 55:23 K:BB across 65.1 innings, making nine of his 18 appearances as a starter. The southpaw's 92.5 mph fastball is nothing special, and his 6.2 K/9 won't cut it in the rotation. The Guardians have a number of candidates to choose from if they want to carry one or two swingmen to begin 2023, and McCarty's among them, though he was designated for assignment in November of 2022 to clear space on the 40-man roster. That makes it a tougher path for him to get the majors, and it's unlikely he'll perform well enough to warrant a roster spot in most fantasy formats unless he makes a massive improvement and earns a spot in the rotation.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
September callup?
PCleveland Guardians  
August 31, 2022
McCarty could return to Cleveland when rosters expand to give the Guardians a second lefty in the bullpen.
ANALYSIS
Cleveland has called up McCarty five different times and he's made six appearances -- two starts -- for the Guardians this season. Currently, Cleveland has only one lefty, reliever Sam Hentges, on its big-league pitching staff, and it seems likely it will add a southpaw when rosters expand Thursday. The 26-year-old has assumed a long-relief role for Triple-A Columbus over the last month, coming out of the bullpen and tossing at least two innings in his last six outings.
