Notes
	After a brilliant 2024 season, Cole Ragans dealt with injuries in 2025, including a groin strain and a left rotator cuff strain. He started only 13 games, threw 61 2/3 innings, and finished with an ugly 4.67 ERA. However, his xERA was 2.68, FIP was 2.50, and xFIP was 2.45, so a lot of his struggles resulted from terrible luck (.354 BABIP). His 38.1% strikeout rate is unsustainable, but his career swinging strike rate is 14.2%, meaning he should remain a valuable source of Ks. No one likes hearing "left rotator cuff strain" on a left-handed pitcher, but upon his return late last year, he pitched his best innings of the season. There is some risk involved in the 28-year-old, but he will be a high-reward pick if he stays healthy. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros
