2024 Fantasy Outlook
Hoffman spent spring training with the Twins organization, but was granted his release after failing to make their Opening Day roster. A few days later, he signed a minor-league contract with Philadelphia, with whom he'd spend the next month in Triple-A before he was promoted to the active roster in early May. The 30-year-old worked out of the Phillies bullpen, flashing significantly improved velocity on all three of his pitches. He saw the biggest spike on his slider, averaging 87.8 mph on the pitch compared to 81.2 mph in 2022. Hoffman saw excellent results on the pitch (.074 BA, 44.6% whiff) and used it as his primary offering for the first time in his career over his now upper-90's fastball (97.1 mph average). Hoffman finished the year with a career-high 33.2% strikeout rate alongside career-best ratios (2.41 ERA, 0.92 WHIP), while many of his Statcast metrics were in the 95th percentile or better. It's clear his future is as a reliever. Read Past Outlooks

Latest Fantasy Rumors
On track for Opening Day roster?
Brandon Warne of Access Twins believes Hoffman will make Minnesota's Opening Day roster after Louie Varland and Trevor Megill were optioned to Triple-A St. Paul on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Hoffman joined the Twins as a non-roster invitee in late February, and he's given up two earned runs with a 6:2 K:BB across three frames spring action. The 30-year-old had a 3.83 ERA in 35 outings for the Reds last season, so he could be a solid option at the back end of the bullpen for Minnesota.

The 30-year-old had a 3.83 ERA and 45:23 K:BB over 44.2 innings last season but missed the second half with forearm and elbow issues. The right-hander's contract minor-league contract with the Twins includes opt outs on March 28, May 15, and June 15, so he'll have options if the Twins don't add him to the big-league roster.
