2024 Fantasy Outlook
Okert threw a career-high 58.2 innings in 2023 and had an impressive 73:24 K:BB ratio. He had a 4.45 ERA, however, as he struggled with home runs allowed. He gave up nine home runs and was a bit unlucky with a 69.2% strand rate. Traded to Minnesota, he'll have a prominent role in middle relief. Read Past Outlooks
Earns first save
Okert earned the save in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Dodgers, allowing one hit while recording a strikeout in a scoreless inning.
ANALYSIS
It's the first save in seven big-league seasons for Okert. The Twins appear to be utilizing a committee approach in the late innings with Jhoan Duran (oblique) on the injured list. Griffin Jax, Minnesota's primary high-leverage option, worked the eighth inning Wednesday against the middle of the Dodgers' lineup. The left-hander Okert has allowed one run on five hits and a pair of walks while logging seven strikeouts through his first four innings this season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Being discussed
Miami may deal Okert or include him as part of a trade package, reports Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald.
ANALYSIS
The Marlins are in sell mode and Okert should garner considerable interest from contenders looking for a left-handed reliever. The 31-year-old is having his second straight excellent season in Miami, posting a 2.45 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 83:31 K:BB in 69.2 innings since 2021. With still another season before he reaches arbitration, Okert comes without salary-related baggage this season. Given the Marlins appear to be open to dealing virtually anyone on their roster, Okert could be paired with other players as a package deal in a larger trade.

2017 Fantasy Outlook
Okert saw his first big league action spread across 16 games in 2016. A small sample size provided positive results for the hard-throwing lefty, who posted a 3.21 ERA and a 9.0 K/9 in 14 innings. The rookie offered a low-to-mid-90s fastball to go along with an average slider. Even with the Giants looking at a complete bullpen rebuild this offseason, Okert likely won't find himself serving as anything more than a middle reliever if he makes the Opening Day roster in 2017.
More Fantasy News
Was set for save chance
Okert threw a scoreless ninth inning in Wednesday's win at Milwaukee with a walk and three strikeouts. He would have be in line for a save had the Twins not scored in the top of the ninth inning. "At that point in the game, Okert with the experience was probably the answer," manager Rocco Baldelli told the Minneapolis Star Tribune.
