Notes
	Nathan Eovaldi delivered one of the most dominant seasons of his career in 2025, posting a microscopic 1.73 ERA with elite run suppression backed by a .194 opponent average and a career-best 26.0% strikeout rate. Durability remains the primary concern entering his age-36 season, but 2026 projections still view him as a high-quality rotation anchor with strong ratios and solid strikeout volume when healthy. In fantasy formats, Eovaldi profiles as an SP2 whose value hinges on workload but whose efficiency can meaningfully outperform his draft cost. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros
