| Notes | ||
| Brandon Woodruff returned to the mound in 2025 and was highly effective on a per-inning basis, posting a 3.20 ERA, 0.91 WHIP, and an elite 32.3% strikeout rate across 64.2 innings. The sample size again tells the story: he has been oft injured in recent seasons, logging just 12 starts in 2025 after making only 11 in 2023. The 2026 projections reflect that duality: strong ratios and a healthy strikeout total on a per-start basis, but fantasy managers have to temper their expectations on his durability. Fantasy managers should bake in missed time and pair him with safer innings volume rather than relying on him as a staff anchor. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros | ||
