2026 Projections
2026 Fantasy Outlook
Fuentes missed the last six weeks of 2025 with shoulder inflammation and gave up 20 earned runs over 13 innings in the majors, but he could still have a productive 2026 campaign if healthy. Fuentes should be graded on a curve, given that he was the youngest player to play in the majors last year by eight months and doesn't turn 21 until mid June. Fuentes' fastball got rocked by big leaguers because he wasn't locating it up in the zone, but that mid-90s offering (touches 99 mph) has strong characteristics and is easily his best pitch. Over Fuentes' final eight starts in the minors, stretching from May to August, he logged a 3.22 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 46:8 K:BB in 36.1 innings. Five of those starts came at Triple-A, where Fuentes was the youngest pitcher to throw 20-plus innings. Atlanta has pushed Fuentes aggressively for a reason, but he's still developing, particularly his fastball command and secondary offerings. Assuming he's healthy, Fuentes should open the year at Triple-A and will be a big-league rotation option this summer. Read Past Outlooks
Dominant in relief outing
Fuentes struck out four over two scoreless innings in Saturday's Grapefruit League game against the Orioles.
Analysis
A hit-by-pitch produced the only baserunner against Fuentes, who fired 15 of 25 pitches for strikes in a dominant performance. Per Mark Bowman of MLB.com, Fuentes' velocity was up noticeably in the outing, with his four-seamer topping out at 98.8 miles per hour and averaging 97.4 mph. However, it bears mentioning that the 20-year-old right-hander didn't enter the game until the sixth inning, and the most notable batter he faced might have been non-roster invitee Sam Huff. Fuentes is expected to begin the season at Triple-A Gwinnett, but after making his big-league debut under emergency circumstances in 2025, he might be just one or two more injuries away from getting the call again given the hits Atlanta has already taken to its rotation depth.
