2025 Fantasy Outlook

In his first year with Cleveland, Lively saw his most extended run as a starting pitcher in the majors. The righty made a career-high 29 starts and recorded a solid 3.81 ERA and 1.25 WHIP across 151 innings, which was also a new career best by a wide margin. Lively continued to be more of a pitch-to-contact player, as he recorded only 118 strikeouts for a 7.03 K/9, in line with his career figure of 6.93. The 32-year-old features a fastball that sits in the low 90s while mixing in a sinker, sweeper and changeup. With a good defensive unit behind him, Lively can continue to eat up some innings for the Guardians, though his fantasy ceiling is limited due to the lack of strikeouts. Fantasy managers can deploy the veteran in 2025 but may want to use him as more of a matchup play versus a regular option. Read Past Outlooks
