2022 Fantasy Outlook
The 30-year-old nabbed two saves early in 2021 and was in the mix at closer with Jordan Romano, but Merryweather then went down with an oblique injury and was sidelined until September. Romano took a firm hold of the closer's role in his absence, while Merryweather surrendered seven runs over 8.2 frames after returning from the injury. The right-hander still offers plenty of velocity and has some upside, but he has only 26 big-league innings under his belt. Merryweather could work in a high-leverage role for Toronto if he can stay healthy, but he's unlikely to be a factor for saves if Romano remains available and productive. Read Past Outlooks
Optioned to Triple-A
Merryweather was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday, Mitch Bannon of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Merryweather threw two scoreless innings in the afternoon portion of Saturday's doubleheader but will make way on the roster as the Blue Jays activate Ryan Borucki (finger) ahead of the nightcap. Merryweather had struggled prior to Saturday's outing, which was only enough to cut his season ERA to 6.94.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2021
2018
Toronto thought enough of Merryweather to trade from him in 2018 while he was in the midst of recovering from Tommy John surgery, and they doubled down on their investment by promoting him to the big leagues last season despite the fact that he had thrown only six innings in 2019. The right-hander excelled after the promotion, registering a 2.27 FIP and 27.3 K% over 13 innings while functioning as both a reliever and an opener before going down with right elbow tendinitis late in the campaign. Merryweather proved that the TJS did not take the zip off his fastball, as he averaged 96.7 mph while holding hitters to a .188 BA on the offering. He also did well with his changeup, perhaps previewing the combination that can help him find success in the majors. Merryweather's age (29) makes him much older than most prospects, so he should get a shot to perform -- either as a starter or reliever -- in 2021.
