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
Signed a one-year, $790,000 contract with Atlanta in March of 2026.General manager Alex Anthopoulos said Sunday that Fuentes will enter spring training as a starting pitcher, but he could be transitioned back to a relief role if needed, Lindsay Crosby of BravesToday.com reports.
Analysis
Atlanta had a similar plan for the right-hander in 2026, and he ended up working out of the bullpen to stellar results. Fuentes made 58 appearances (one start) during his first full MLB campaign, recording three saves and 17 holds with a 2.45 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 92:21 K:BB across 73.1 innings. He was also a key contributor in the playoffs, allowing three runs on five hits with a 5:2 K:BB over seven innings.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could be valuable multi-inning weapon
Fuentes could become an intriguing postseason weapon for Atlanta after thriving since moving to the bullpen on a full-time basis in April, according to Mike Petriello of MLB.com.
Analysis
Fuentes has posted a 1.73 ERA over 62.1 relief innings while frequently working multiple frames, and his 11.1 K/9 as a reliever makes him a dangerous arm out of the bullpen, whether he's needed for a multi-inning appearance or just to record one or two outs. If he can pitch in the playoffs as he has since the All-Star break, a span in which he owns a 1.69 ERA across 32 innings in 24 appearances, he could be a key arm for Atlanta.
