2024 Fantasy Outlook
Knack had a 2.51 ERA and 99:30 K:BB over 100.1 innings between the Double-A and Triple-A levels last season, prompting the Dodgers to protect him from the Rule 5 Draft by adding him to the 40-man roster. His fastball velocity has fluctuated over the years, but he's settled in the 93-94 mph range. He lacks the upside of the typical Dodgers pitching prospect, but he could still provide fantasy value if he's in that rotation and limiting damage. The 26-year-old missed the final month of the season with an undisclosed injury, but he has a solid chance of making his big-league debut in 2024, especially given Los Angeles' plethora of pitching injuries.

Shellacked in loss
Knack (2-4) was the pitcher of record in Friday's 6-2 loss to Atlanta, allowing five earned runs on seven hits and two walks over two innings. He struck out two.
ANALYSIS
After returning from Triple-A Oklahoma City last week and delivering a quality start against the Guardians, Knack stumbled out the gate in his second turn through the rotation, allowing three hits and one run in the first inning. Things didn't get better for the 27-year-old in the second inning, as he gave up four runs on four hits -- including two home runs -- before exiting after 64 pitches. Despite the lackluster showing, Knack should continue to hold a starting spot given the myriad injuries plaguing the Los Angeles rotation. He currently projects to face a much easier opponent in the Marlins on the road for his next start.

With zero restrictions and a two-start week, Zack Wheeler is a top pitching option for the week of September 16 to September 22. Todd Zola shares his full pitcher rankings for the week.
You wouldn't normally expect big-name players to enter the player pool in mid-September, but this week saw two significant call-ups who could give your team a late boost, including Jasson Dominguez.
This week's set of National League pickup recommendations includes DL Hall, who was recently recalled by the Brewers.
Mr. Consistency, Zack Wheeler, is a top-five fantasy pitcher for the week of September 9 to September 15, according to Tood Zola's rankings.
For Friday’s DraftKings picks, Miami is 29th in runs scored and has a sub-.300 OBP as a team, so Phillies pitcher Zack Wheeler should be able to add to his top-notch resume.
Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
Following a promising 2021 campaign, Knack took a step back in his first full stint in Double-A last season, posting a 5.15 ERA and 1.42 WHIP (albeit with a strong 28.4 K%) over 17 starts. The right-hander's campaign was delayed by a soft-tissue injury he picked up early in camp, and he was never able to string together more than a couple strong outings, pitching five-plus innings in consecutive appearances only twice. Concerningly, Knack put up worse numbers as the season wore on; over his final eight starts, he went 0-6 with a 6.92 ERA over 26 frames. It's somewhat baffling that a hurler lauded for his control saw such regression in that area last season -- his walk rate jumped from 3.3% to 9.6% -- though it's quite possible that his inability to stay healthy (Knack also spent time on the injured list in July) was at the root of his struggles. In spite of the down season, the Dodgers remain high on Knack, and deservedly so given that his arsenal includes four potentially plus offerings. He'll have every opportunity to bounce back in 2023 and could still make his big-league debut at some time during the campaign if things fall back into place.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Opening in rotation
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Wednesday that a pitcher will be inserted into the rotation Friday against the Angels, reports Juan Toribio of MLB.com, and Knack should be a candidate to start that contest.
ANALYSIS
The right-hander has pitched well in his first taste of the big leagues this year with a 2.61 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 16:6 K:BB over 20.2 innings, but he's been stuck at Triple-A Oklahoma City for most of the past month and a half. Even if called up Friday, it may only be a spot start for Knack since the Dodgers have three scheduled days off in the next 12 days.
