2024 Fantasy Outlook
Kittredge was out for much of last season after undergoing Tommy John surgery in June 2022, but he made his return from the IL in mid-August after appearing in 12 minor-league rehab games. The 33-year-old right-hander recorded a save in his first appearance back for the Rays, but that would be the only one he'd record for the rest of the season. He'd finish with a solid 3.09 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 10:2 K:BB over 11.2 innings. If Kittredge can overcome the health woes that have plagued him in recent seasons, he figures to fill a late-inning role for Tampa Bay that's likely to include the occasional save chance.

RANKSFrom Preseason

ADP
Healthy, steady in spring
Kittredge has allowed one walk and struck out one over two scoreless and hitless innings in two Grapefruit League appearances.
ANALYSIS
Kittredge is likely looking to put the last two years behind him, as injuries have limited him to 31.2 innings in that span. He has 15 saves and 12 holds to his name over parts of seven major-league campaigns, but he's topped 50 innings just once. Kittredge figures to be in the high-leverage mix this season, though Ryan Helsley and Giovanny Gallegos are the top incumbent closing options for the Cardinals.

Kittredge was another one of the high profile Tampa Bay arms which went down in 2022 as he required Tommy John Surgery in early June, likely shelving him until August of 2023. Kittredge first had a UCL sprain in 2020, but was able to avoid surgery with a PRP injection and a rest and rehab approach but the ligament gave out in an outing against the Cardinals on June 7th in his second outing back off the injured list with back issues. The pre-injury version of him was far from the dominating version we saw in 2021 giving us yet another reminder of reliever volatility. Once Kittredge returns in 2023, it is unlikely he jumps right back into the role he had before he went down as other arms have stepped up in his place during his absence. We would not rule out one save for him simply because any pitcher in Tampa Bay could get a save at any time.
