2025 Fantasy Outlook
An older lefty who turned 26 this offseason and had Tommy John surgery in 2022, Seymour dominated Double-A and Triple-A hitters in 2024 to the tune of a 2.48 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 162:41 K:BB in 145.1 innings. He actually made two starts at Triple-A late in 2021 just to keep pitching after the High-A season wrapped up. Seymour's fastball velocity isn't great (sits in the low-90s), but it's got good movement, and he's incredibly crafty. He's got a plus changeup and a quality cutter, and that might be enough to get by against big-league hitters if he can throw strikes and pitch with confidence. The Rays have a plethora of rotation options, but Seymour is on the 40-man roster and should be heard from at some point this season. Given his poor fastball velocity and relatively shallow repertoire, he'll have a small margin for error as a starter, and the Rays could opt to have him work as a bulk reliever initially.

Sent back to Durham
The Rays optioned Seymour to Triple-A Durham on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
The 26-year-old southpaw's first stint in the big leagues lasted just two days, but he was able to scoop up a win in his lone relief appearance in Monday's 11-inning victory over Boston. Though he was charged with a blown save after allowing an unearned run in the bottom of the 10th to tie the game at 8-8, Seymour saw the Rays score two runs for him in the top of the 11th, then kept the Red Sox off the board in the bottom of the frame to seal the victory. Since Seymour threw 28 pitches in the appearance and was unlikely to be available for the next day or two, the Rays elected to swap him off the active roster for a fresh relief arm in Mason Englert, who was recalled from Triple-A. Seymour should slot back into the rotation as he makes his return to Durham.
