September 16, 2024
Banda (hand) has started to play catch at the Dodgers' spring training complex in Arizona, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.
ANALYSIS
Banda is less than a week removed from going on the 15-day injured list with a fractured left hand, so it's a good sign that he's already throwing. The club remains hopeful that he can make it back before the end of the regular season. Banda has been a nice find for the Dodgers this season, although he had struggled lately before going on the IL, allowing seven runs over his last four appearances.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2018
2017
The Diamondbacks all of a sudden have one of the best rotations in baseball, which leaves Banda at Triple-A waiting his turn, for now. His 94-mph fastball is at least a plus pitch from the left side, but his curveball and changeup are still average offerings, at best. He has the potential to be dominant out of the bullpen, particularly against left-handed hitters. However, he has the size (6-foot-2, 190 pounds) and durability (145-plus innings in three straight seasons) to stick in the rotation. His numbers at Triple-A don't inspire confidence, particularly his 5.92 ERA in Reno. He struggled with his command at times and had to deal with the harsh pitching conditions of his home park and the Pacific Coast League in general. Nonetheless, Banda reached the majors and had one excellent start in San Francisco and three rough outings at home against the Nationals, Dodgers and Astros. Unless his secondaries improve, he projects as a No. 5 starter or high-leverage reliever.
After Braden Shipley got the call to the majors last season, Banda took over as Arizona's top pitching prospect. He excelled at the Double-A level, posting a 2.12 ERA and 84 strikeouts across 76.1 innings, which earned him a spot on the U.S. roster for the 2016 Futures Game in July. Banda finished his season at Triple-A, compiling a 3.67 ERA and 68 strikeouts in 73.2 innings for the Reno Aces. Considering how poorly Arizona's major league rotation fared in 2016, Banda could have a shot at a callup at some point during the 2017 season. However, Banda's standing as Arizona's top pitching prospect is probably more a reflection of Arizona's weak farm system than his overall outlook. He's not a top-200 prospect at the moment, and Banda projects as more of a rotation filler than a viable fantasy asset, though a strong run at Triple-A could improve his stock.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Excelling with heavy workload
PLos Angeles Dodgers
September 4, 2024
Banda has appeared in 44 of 89 games for the Dodgers since having his contract selected May 19.
ANALYSIS
The left-hander was acquired from the Guardians in mid-May, and the Dodgers didn't waste any time before bringing him up to the big-league bullpen. Banda's first two appearances came in back-to-back games, and he's now pitched on zero days' rest 13 times this season. The 31-year-old has been a key bullpen piece for manager Dave Roberts with two saves and eighth holds. Banda has a 2.78 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 49:16 K:BB across a career-high 45.1 innings.
