Notes
	Carlos Rodon delivered one of the most complete seasons of his career in 2025, posting a 3.09 ERA across 195.1 innings with a 1.05 WHIP and 203 strikeouts, earning Cy Young consideration. Projections expect some ERA regression closer to his FIP (3.78 in 2025) and normalized BABIP. He is currently recovering from an elbow procedure and is projected to begin his season in late April/early May, but if all goes as planned, he comes at a good discount on draft day for the potential he brings. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros	Yusei Kikuchi remains a reliable but volatile fantasy arm entering 2026, best viewed as a back-end starter in mixed leagues. The underlying batted-ball profile was mostly stable, but a rising walk rate and middling WHIP capped his fantasy ceiling despite near-league-average run prevention. Kikuchi is still useful for innings and strikeouts, but with limited upside and increased ratio risk compared to prior seasons. He's best deployed as a matchup-dependent SP5 rather than a set-and-forget option. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros
