2024 Fantasy Outlook
Munoz broke out in 2022 and carried that momentum into last season by recording Seattle's first save of 2023. Unfortunately, any hopes of him taking on more expansive closing duties were put on hold, as the right-hander suffered a shoulder sprain after just a few appearances. Munoz missed two months of action and was limited to setup duties upon his return with Paul Sewald locking down the 9th inning. When Sewald was traded, Munoz finally got some run as the M's closer. He recorded 11 of Seattle's 18 saves after the trade and finished the year with a career-high 13 overall. His strikeout and walk rates regressed a bit, but he maintained a 99th percentile whiff percentage (39.4%) and his groundball rate (59%) spiked since he implemented a sinker (19% pitch usage). Munoz enters 2024 as the favorite for closing duties in Seattle, but don't expect 70+ percent team save share. Munoz's health, plus the emergence of Matt Brash and Justin Topa, make a 50-60% share more realistic. Read Past Outlooks
Used before ninth inning Tuesday
Munoz recorded his third hold in a win over the Reds on Tuesday, firing 1.1 scoreless innings during which he allowed a hit and a walk while recording three strikeouts.
ANALYSIS
Munoz relieved Logan Gilbert with two outs in the seventh inning and a man on, and after issuing a walk to Elly De La Cruz, he surrendered a hit to Nick Martini but was bailed out when De La Cruz was thrown out at third base on a stellar outfield assist by Julio Rodriguez. Munoz was exponentially more effective in the eighth inning while recording swinging strikeouts on all three batters he faced to preserve Seattle's 3-1 lead, and he then saw Ryne Stanek entrusted with the ninth inning until he worked himself into trouble and was bailed out by Tayler Saucedo. The Mariners' closer role therefore appears to be somewhat in flux, but Munoz does have four straight scoreless appearances during which he's picked up his most recent save, a win and back-to-back holds.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Return date gets pushed
Munoz recently suffered a minor setback while rehabbing from a deltoid strain, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
ANALYSIS
The hard-throwing righty has been out since April 8 and was nearing a rehab assignment, but he experienced shoulder soreness during a bullpen session, and a subsequent MRI revealed some inflammation. As a result, Munoz is not expected to begin a minor-league stint until the end of the month. He posted a 2.49 ERA across 65 innings in 2022.

2019
After signing a team-friendly, 4-year extension before the season, Munoz finally broke out in 2022, overcoming his biggest obstacle (health) to pitch a career-high 65 remarkable innings. The 24-year-old averaged 100.3 mph on his fastball and was in the 99th percentile or better in seven Statcast pitching metrics, including K%, whiff% and xERA/xWOBA. His 32.7% K-BB% was second-best among qualified relievers, while his 38.7% strikeout rate was fourth-best thanks to a slider that was among the best pitches in the league. Munoz limited baserunners (0.89 WHIP) to scale his way up Seattle's high leverage ladder, posting 22 holds while also getting a taste of closing with four saves. The Mariners have no financial reason to limit Munoz's save chances moving forward, so he could emerge as their primary closer in 2023. However, he must improve the effectiveness of his fastball (.338 BA, .500 SLG) and prove he's healthy after offseason foot surgery to take the next step.
