Latest Fantasy Rumors
Carving out high-leverage role
Vesia has logged seven consecutive scoreless appearances and could be in line for more high-leverage relief opportunities going forward.
ANALYSIS
Since allowing four runs in a one-week span in late May, the lefty has posted a 0.47 ERA, 0.42 WHIP and 11.4 K/9 in 19 innings of work. Vesia has displayed excellent control, walking only three batters in that 17-game span. He's also proven he's not merely a lefty specialist, as righties are hitting .087 and lefties .116 against Vesia. The 25-year-old's hold in Thursday's win over the Mets was only his fourth of the season, though he figures to pitch in more such situations over the last month-plus of the regular season.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
Vesia continues to fly a bit under the radar as one of the game's top left-handed relievers. His 94 mph 4-seamer was one of the best in the league, producing a top-20 Statcast run value (-14) for that pitch type. His fastball was responsible for 53 of his career-high 79 strikeouts, while his 34.8% K% was in the 97th percentile. He also got plenty of whiffs (92nd percentile), leading to a 73.8% in-zone contact percentage that was 4th-best among qualified relievers. Vesia was particularly sharp in the second half, as 26 of his final 27 appearances were scoreless. From July 22 onwards, he compiled an impressive 0.36 ERA, 0.72 WHIP and 40 strikeouts over 25.2 innings. Vesia will continue to serve as the Dodgers' top lefty out of the bullpen, but don't dismiss the possibility that he becomes part of the mix for saves, especially if he continues to improve his command (4.0 BB/9 for his career).
