2024 Fantasy Outlook
Walter has a spot on the 40-man roster and will compete as a backend starter during spring training. Beyond Lucas Giolito and Brayan Bello, Walter's name can be thrown into the mix with Tanner Houck, Garrett Whitlock and Nick Pivetta. The 27-year-old lefty had a rocky first half, which included a 6.26 ERA over 23 innings mid-summer for Boston. He wasn't much better before that at Triple-A Worcester; however, the right-hander thrived during the second half upon his return to Triple-A (1.48 ERA over 30 innings). He attributed his success to pounding the strike zone. That's what he did during a breakout 2021 campaign to put himself on the prospect radar. The organization will probably want Walter to build off the second-half success and begin 2024 at Worcester. If he's to break camp with Boston, it will be likely be as a multi-inning relief arm.

Catches on with Houston
The Astros signed Walter (shoulder) to a minor-league contract Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Walter has been sidelined all season with a shoulder issue and was released by the Red Sox earlier this week. The 27-year-old southpaw will report to Triple-A Sugar Land and will go on the 7-day injured list. It's unclear whether he's on track to pitch at any point in 2024.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Walter began 2022 at Double-A Portland and was promoted to Triple-A Worcester after he posted a 2.88 ERA with 68 strikeouts across 50 innings, but he made only two starts for Worcester before he was lost for the season with a neck strain. The left-hander was added to the Red Sox's 40-man roster in November to protect him from being selected during the Rule 5 draft, which clearly indicates how he's valued by the organization. Boston's rotation has more question marks than locks, which should provide Walter the chance to make his big-league debut in 2023. However, he's likely to open the campaign at Triple-A and may need to pitch well there to receive that opportunity.
