2024 Fantasy Outlook
McMillon was initially drafted by the Rays in 2016, but he opted to play collegiately at Texas Tech University. In 2019, the Tigers drafted McMillon, but he returned to the Red Raiders for his senior year. McMillon went undrafted in the five-round 2020 MLB draft but was signed by the Royals. McMillon worked his way through the Royals system, displaying the ability to miss bats, but with a penchant for issuing free passes. After a stint with Double-A Northwest Arkansas where McMillon registered a .87 ERA with 30 strikeouts in 20.2 innings, McMillon was summoned to the Show in mid-August. McMillon managed to make four one-inning appearances before he was shut down for the season with a right forearm strain. McMillon impressed, allowing just one earned run while punching out eight in four innings. He's expected to be healthy in the spring and be a key component of the Royals bullpen, perhaps in a late-inning capacity. If McMillon can keep walks under control, he's dominant enough to be a fantasy asset, even if he's not collecting saves or holds. Read Past Outlooks
Ousted from 40-man roster
McMillon cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The Phillies claimed McMillon off waivers from the Marlins earlier this month, but he'll lose his 40-man roster spot again with Philadelphia protecting some prospects from the Rule 5 draft. McMillon's career has been greatly affected by arm injuries, and he averaged 95.3 mph with his fastball in 2024 after he sat at 99 mph with the pitch in 2023.
