2026 Fantasy Outlook
Civale lived the I-94 life in 2025 pitching for Milwaukee as well as both clubs in the Chicago market. Civale's season began with the Brewers, but a terrible five-start stretch with too many homers involved introduced talks of a bullpen role that Civale did not wish to accept. The Brewers promptly dealt him to the White Sox in what turned out to be an incredibly lopsided trade to acquire Andrew Vaughn. Vaughn came to Milwaukee hit a bunch of homers while Civale went to the south side of Chicago and picked up where he left off allowing runs while reducing his home run rate. The Cubs grabbed Civale in a trade just before the deadline as their roster was dealing with some attrition and put Civale to use in the bullpen where he pitched effectively over a small sample size. Civale is now a free agent hoping to latch on with a club as a fifth starter, but he needs an extremely friendly home park in order to be considered for anything other than 50-round draft and hold leagues or very deep mono leagues.

Signed a one-year, $6 million contract with the Athletics in February of 2026.
Likely back from IL on Wednesday
Civale (shoulder) is expected to be reinstated from the 15-day injured list to start Wednesday's game against the Pirates in Sacramento, Jason Burke of Roundtable.io reports.
Analysis
Civale has been on the shelf since May 26 due to right shoulder tendinitis, but he proved he was ready for a return to the big leagues with a stellar showing in his lone rehab appearance Thursday with Triple-A Las Vegas. The veteran right-hander struck out seven over 4.1 perfect innings while spotting 38 of his 56 pitches for strikes. He could be operating with a light restriction on his pitch count Wednesday but should be capable of handling a normal workload in his subsequent starts.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2024
2023

2021
2020
Civale was a coveted trade acquisition for Tampa Bay at the 2023 deadline, and he was dealt to Milwaukee for little fanfare in 2024. He had a 5.07 ERA in 17 starts with the Rays but had more success for the Brewers with a 3.53 ERA in 13 outings. The right-hander dipped into his bag and broke out the slider following the trade, which was a pitch he didn't utilize while with Tampa Bay. A 4.78 FIP while with Milwaukee indicates he may have been fortunate to get those results and been the beneficiary of the club's strong defense. Civale threw a career-high 161 innings during 2024 and has limited fantasy upside with a career K/9 of 8.2, but he could round out a rotation in deeper leagues if he's able to continue the success he had with the Brewers during the second half of 2024. He was reportedly a candidate to be non-tendered early in the offseason, but he's likely to begin 2025 in the rotation after Milwaukee tendered him a contract.
