Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2021
2020
The Red Sox opted not to add Ward to their 40-man roster ahead of the Rule 5 draft, and he was selected No. 1 overall by the Nationals. Washington will need to keep the 26-year-old on the big-league roster for the full 2023 campaign to retain his rights, so he's all but guaranteed to debut this season. Ward missed most of 2022 while recovering from Tommy John surgery, but he returned in August and should be fully healthy for the start of camp. His long-term outlook is still that of a starter, but Ward could be limited to more of a long-relief role in 2023 as he builds his arm strength back up, so he's unlikely to have much fantasy relevance this year.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
On roster bubble
Ward has not been guaranteed a spot on the Nationals roster to begin the 2023 season, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
The Nationals selected Ward with their Rule 5 draft pick, and the former starter has been moved to the bullpen in hopes that he can contribute to Washington's relief corps. In 8.2 innings of work, the right-hander has given up four runs, but all of those came in one outing March 11 against the Mets. Ward has a chance to be a starter in the long run, but the Nationals will have to weigh keeping a pitcher who hasn't worked above Double-A or risk giving him back to the Red Sox if he doesn't make the final Opening Day roster.
