The Athletics acquired McFarland from the Dodgers on Tuesday in exchange for cash considerations and selected his contract from Triple-A Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
It's quite the team downgrade for McFarland, but he'll likely take it since he gets to join a major-league roster. The veteran reliever made just three appearances at the big-league level in 2023, allowing one earned run over 1.2 innings with the Mets.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Nearing rehab assignment
McFarland will throw a bullpen Wednesday and could start a rehab assignment soon, reports John Denton of MLB.com.
ANALYSIS
McFarland will likely begin his rehab assignment with Triple-A Memphis and should be able to return to St. Louis relatively soon. The lefty reliever was placed on the COVID-19 injured list June 22 and cleared protocols last week. A return next week seems most likely at this point.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2019
2018
2016
2015
2014
In an era where most relief appearances are one inning, McFarland is an anomaly, serving as both a lefty specialist and long reliever. In 10 of his 47 appearances, McFarland secured fewer than three outs while in 21 he got at least four. In total, he threw 72 innings, which would have been more had he not missed time in July with a neck strain along with being shut down in mid-September with bone spurs in his throwing elbow. The soft-throwing lefty worked mostly in low-leverage and mop-up duty, logging just a single hold and save all season. He's earmarked for a similar role this season. In the days of 4x4 play, McFarland would be a stud, but a 13.8 K% limits his fantasy value in formats scoring strikeouts. The exception is simulation games caring more about surface stats than underlying skills.
