Earns first win
Almonte (1-0) pitched a scoreless inning of relief with two strikeouts to earn the win in Sunday's 8-1 victory over the Dodgers.
ANALYSIS
After the Cubs received only four innings from starter Shota Imanaga due to a lengthy rain delay, Almonte worked the fifth and walked away with his first win of 2024. The righty struggled two outings ago, allowing three runs while retiring just one batter, which has saddled him with a 9.00 ERA in the early going. However, Almonte has good raw stuff, and Chicago seems committed to letting him figure things out at the MLB level.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2021
2017
Almonte had a career 5.30 ERA and was coming off a 7.55 mark in 2021 when the Rockies cut him loose. He landed with the Dodgers on a minor-league contract and, as the organization has done with many others, figured out what worked for Almonte and watched him turn in a 1.02 ERA over 33 relief appearances. In Almonte's case, it was using more sinkers than four-seamers and, most importantly, upping the usage of his slider, a pitch which garnered a robust 48.5 percent whiff rate. Almonte did deal with an elbow injury in the second half, although he returned late in the year to make four scoreless appearances. The 28-year-old picked up one save in 2022 and it wouldn't be a surprise if he gets more than that in 2023 with the back-end of the Dodgers' bullpen unsettled.
