Andrew Abbott's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Cincinnati Reds left-hander Andrew Abbott (shoulder) is not expected to return from the injured list to pitch again this year, but he will continue his throwing program to build into a healthy, normal offseason. The Reds are out of postseason contention with just over a week left to play in the regular season, so Abbott will continue to rehab his left shoulder in hopes of being 100 percent ready to go for spring training next February. The 25-year-old southpaw saw his strikeout rate drop from 26.1% in his rookie season in 2023 to 19.5% this year, but otherwise his surface numbers were very similar in his second year in the big leagues. Abbott went 10-10 with a 3.72 ERA, a 1.29 WHIP and a 114:52 K:BB in 138 innings over his 25 starts. His 5.05 FIP suggests he was very fortunate to have an ERA under 4.00. As long as he's healthy in 2025, Abbott should have a starting role locked up in Cincy.

Cincinnati Reds left-hander Andrew Abbott (shoulder) was cleared to begin a throwing program on Wednesday, and the Reds are hoping that he'll be able to return before the end of the 2024 regular season at the end of September. Abbott was scratched from his Aug. 23 start and was placed on the 15-day injured list (retroactive to Aug. 20) with a left-shoulder strain. It's good news that the 25-year-old southpaw is on the mend, but he still has several boxes to check, and there are only several weeks left in the season with the Reds not in the mix for a playoff spot. If Abbott does return, it will probably only be for a start or two, at the most. The former second-rounder in 2021 out of Virginia had similar numbers in 2024 to his rookie campaign a year ago and is currently 10-10 with a 3.72 ERA (5.06 FIP), a 1.29 WHIP and a 114:52 K:BB over a career-high 138 innings over his 25 starts.

The Cincinnati Reds placed left-hander Andrew Abbott (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list (retroactive to Aug. 20) on Friday with a left-shoulder strain and called up pitcher Alan Busenitz from Triple-A Louisville in a corresponding move. Abbott was originally scheduled to start Friday's game against the division-rival Pittsburgh Pirates, but the Reds will now go with a bullpen game and will use reliever Buck Farmer as the opener. The 25-year-old Abbott is eligible to come off the injured list on Sept. 4, so he may only need to miss one turn through the starting rotation. In his second year in the big leagues in 2024, Abbott has gone 10-10 with a 3.72 ERA (5.04 FIP) and a 1.29 WHIP with 114 strikeouts, 52 walks and a league-high 25 home runs allowed in 25 starts covering 138 innings. Since the All-Star break, Abbott has struggled to a 4.83 ERA with 28 K's, 12 walks and seven homers allowed in six starts.

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Andrew Abbott continued his strong season in Monday's 6-0 win over the Rockies, improving to 9-6. The 25-year-old pitched seven innings, allowing just three hits and two walks with eight strikeouts. He now owns a 3.06 ERA with a 7.17 K/9 rate, a 3.32 BB/9 rate, and a 1.40 HR/9 rate in 18 starts and 103 IP. The strikeouts have dipped for Abbott, but he has managed 5 2/3 IP/GS while posting respectable HR numbers given his home park. He will get a great matchup against the Marlins to end the first half of the season.

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Andrew Abbott (8-6) diffused the Bronx Bombers lineup Wednesday night, shoving for 6 1/3 one-run innings on three hits and four walks with two strikeouts in a 3-2 victory. Fantasy managers would like to see the strikeout and walk totals reversed, but after the outing, Abbott's ERA sits at an impressive 3.28 on the season to go along with 1.20 WHIP. You can't ask for more than that of a young former top prospect's sophomore season. Abbot has been incredibly consistent this season with all of his monthly ERA lying between 3.27 and 3.70. The 25-year-old at one point this season was a solid streaming option, but now, especially in deeper leagues, he is looking more and more like a must-start pitcher every week. Abbott faces the Colorado Rockies in his next start and is a must-add if you have room on your roster moving forward.
