Pittsburgh Pirates · Pitcher
At 31, this veteran right-hander operates primarily as a relief pitcher for Pittsburgh, offering modest fantasy value with 11 saves through the early portion of 2026 while striking out 41 batters across 35 innings. His ERA of 4.37 and WHIP of 1.11 represent modest improvements from a rough 2025 campaign, though both metrics remain concerning for fantasy purposes given the elevated run production. The upside lies in his four wins and potential for additional strikeouts if he maintains a consistent bullpen role, but managers should temper expectations—his dual inability to post strong ERA/WHIP numbers and consistent save opportunities makes him a lower-tier relief pitcher in most formats. The transition from Washington to Pittsburgh may complicate his save situation further, making him a speculative add rather than a cornerstone relief arm heading into the season's second half.
