2025 Fantasy Outlook
Though a calf injury sidelined Brasier for much of the 2024 campaign, he was effective when healthy, posting a 3.54 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 25:5 K:BB over 28 innings. The right-hander's career has been revived since the Dodgers added him to their relief corps in June of 2023 (shortly after he was released by Boston), but Los Angeles also has enough bullpen depth that Brasier isn't likely to see consistent high-leverage work. He's also not a big strikeout collector, so -- barring a move to a reliever-needy club that would deploy him often at the end of games -- Brasier's viability in fantasy is minimal. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a two-year, $9 million contract with the Dodgers in February of 2024. Traded to the Cubs in February of 2025.
Set to open Monday's game
Brasier will serve as the Cubs' opening pitcher Monday versus the Royals, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.
Analysis
Brasier will draw the sixth start of his MLB career in what will likely be a one- or two-inning appearance before he exits the game. The veteran righty has posted an impressive 1.04 ERA and 0.92 WHIP with 14 strikeouts over 17.1 innings in 18 appearances with the Cubs this season. According to Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com, the Cubs plan to recall Ben Brown from Triple-A Iowa on Monday, and he'll likely be deployed in bulk relief behind Brasier.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2021
2020
2019
2015
2014
Brasier was sporting an unsightly 7.29 ERA and 1.57 WHIP when the Red Sox released the righty in late May. A couple of weeks later, Brasier signed a minor-league deal with the Dodgers and was assigned to Triple-A Oklahoma City. After three scoreless frames with five strikeouts on the farm, Brasier was summoned to the Dodgers bullpen where he excelled, recording a pristine .70 ERA and .72 WHIP in 38.2 frames. Even so, the Dodgers let Brasier go after the season. His second half exploits will land the 36-year-old veteran a job, perhaps in a late inning capacity, but not as a closer. Relievers not accumulating saves can be fantasy relevant, but Brasier doesn't miss ample bats to be a fantasy factor.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Drawing interest as free agent
The Mets are interested in Brasier, Pat Ragazzo of SI.com reports.
Analysis
Brasier was designated for assignment by the Dodgers on Thursday in a move that says more about the bullpen depth of the champs than Brasier's ability. The 37-year-old held a 3.54 ERA and 25:5 K:BB over 28 regular-season innings in 2024 and is owed a reasonable $4.5 million in 2025. Brasier figures to have no shortage of suitors.
