Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Zerpa opened the season on the 60-day IL with a tendon issue in his left shoulder. He was activated just after the All-Star break and optioned to Triple-A Omaha. Zerpa posted a 4.73 ERA over six starts (some during rehab), spanning 26.2 innings before he was called up by the Royals to begin August. Zerpa served as a primary pitcher, traditional starter, and reliever over the final two months. Zerpa only walked eight batters in 42.2 frames, but he fanned just 36. The main reason he recorded a high 4.85 ERA was yielding seven homers. The Royals have fortified their rotation with veterans Seth Lugo and Michael Wacha, returning Zerpa to a swingman role. With his lack of dominance, and proclivity for allowing the long ball, Zerpa lacks fantasy charm.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Drawing trade interest
The Royals have received trade inquiries on Zerpa, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Zerpa had a solid 2024 season in the Royals' bullpen, collecting a 3.86 ERA and 49:19 K:BB over 53.2 regular-season innings. The left-hander came up through the minors as a starting pitcher and made some starts in his first three seasons with the Royals, and Rogers notes that it's possible other teams would want him in that role. No trade appears imminent.
