2026 Projections
2026 Fantasy Outlook
Javier's goal in 2025 was to complete his recovery from 2024 Tommy John Surgery and show the Astros he could be ready for 2026. Mission was accomplished, as he made eight starts to close the season, looking in many ways a lot like the pitcher we saw prior to his injury. He had 20 percent or greater whiff rates on his three primary pitches in his fastball, sweeper and change-up, but his other pitches were more of the show-me type that showed nothing of value. Javier did not come all the way back to his pre-2024 velocity, but his indicators were all things he had previously done, and his ERA would have been better if not for a poor 59.4 LOB. Percentage. Javier has always been a risk because his extreme flyball rates leave him susceptible to home runs, and his walks can double down on that pain point. Yet, we saw enough in 2025 to justify an endgame speculative pick on this arm, because 2022 is not that far in the rearview mirror for this 28-year-old pitcher. Read Past Outlooks
