Baltimore Orioles Β· Pitcher
At 36 years old, this veteran closer enters 2026 coming off an All-Star caliber 2025 season where he posted a 3.40 ERA with a stellar 0.98 WHIP across 53 innings while recording 5 saves and 64 strikeouts. Early 2026 performance has been concerning, with an elevated 5.68 ERA and 1.53 WHIP through limited action, suggesting age-related decline or potential injury concerns may be surfacing. His fantasy value hinges on save opportunitiesβif Baltimore keeps him in the closer role, the strikeout floor remains respectable, but the ERA spike and early-season struggles make him a risky target compared to younger, more consistent closers. Monitor his workload and health closely, as the combination of age and recent poor results raises questions about whether he can recapture his 2025 form.
