RANKSFrom Preseason

ADP
$Signed a one-year, $1.1 million contract with the Guardians in January of 2024.
Claims second win
PCleveland Guardians
April 7, 2024
Sandlin (2-0) struck out two and didn't allow a hit or a walk over a scoreless inning to earn the win Saturday over the Twins.
ANALYSIS
Starter Carlos Carrasco labored through three innings, and Sandlin relieved him in the fourth. Sandlin did well in that frame, but he hit a batter and allowed another to reach on a fielder's choice in the fifth before exiting for Cade Smith, who escaped the jam. Sandlin is through 4.2 scoreless and hitless innings to open the year while adding an 8:3 K:BB and two hit batsmen. The right-hander has served in more of a fireman capacity so far, and his lack of high-leverage opportunities gives him little fantasy appeal.

2021 Fantasy Outlook
The 67th overall pick in the 2018 draft was dominant when last fully healthy in 2019 with a 1.56 ERA and 14.2 K/9 at Double-A. Sandlin had forearm surgery in July 2019 and didn't pitch in a game in 2020. He did return to pitch at Cleveland's alternative site last season. The sidewinder will likely need to show he's healthy at Triple-A before getting a shot at the majors.
