2025 Fantasy Outlook
Ellard, an 8th-round pick of the White Sox in 2021, made his major-league debut last season. The 6-foot-4 southpaw struck out 59 over 40.2 innings with Triple-A Charlotte before he was recalled in late-July to reinforce a bullpen that lost several high-leverage relievers via trades. Ellard pitched to a solid 2.75 ERA and 1.07 WHIP over his first 20 appearances with Chicago, compiling a 24:9 K:BB across 19.2 innings during that span. A few rough outings over the final week inflated his ratios, but the 27-year-old likely demonstrated enough potential to make the 2025 Opening Day bullpen. Ellard is a candidate for an important high-leverage role with the White Sox, but improving his control (11.9 percent walk rate) will go a long way towards earning those opportunities.

Ellard (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte on Thursday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Ellard landed on the 15-day injured list April 11 due to a right hamstring injury, and he's progressed enough in his recovery to embark on his rehab assignment with Charlotte. He logged a 5.40 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 6:4 K:BB across five innings out of the White Sox's bullpen before landing on the IL.

Stat Review
How does Fraser Ellard 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.
