News
	The Rays said Ryan Pepiot's right hip surgery Wednesday went well and he is expected to make a full recovery for spring training next year. Ari Koslow Wed, May 13th	The Cubs optioned Javier Assad to Triple-A Iowa. Ari Koslow Sun, May 17th
	Ryan Pepiot (hip) will miss the remainder of the 2026 season to undergo right hip surgery. The surgery is scheduled for May 13. David Leisering Fri, May 1st	Javier Assad pitched 5.2 innings and allowed one run on three hits in a no-decision on Sunday as the Cubs defeated the Mets, 2-1, in 10 innings. David Leisering Sun, Apr 19th
	Rays manager Kevin Cash said Ryan Pepiot had a bad day on Monday as his right hip felt “unstable” while playing catch. Ari Koslow Mon, Apr 20th	Javier Assad was touched up for nine runs on 11 hits in 4.1 innings on Monday as the Cubs dropped a 13-7 decision in the series opener against the Phillies. David Leisering Mon, Apr 13th
	The Rays transferred RHP Ryan Pepiot to the 60-day injured list. Ari Koslow Tue, Apr 14th	Javier Assad earned the win on Tuesday after allowing just one hit in 5.2 scoreless innings as the Cubs defeated the Rays, 9-2. Assad walked two and struck out three. David Leisering Wed, Apr 8th
	Pepiot has not pitched in a game setting since March 17 and was placed on the IL prior to Opening Day with right hip inflammation. He may need more than one rehab start before Tampa Bay brings him back. Bruno Mulé Mon, Apr 13th	The Cubs are recalling Javier Assad from Triple-A to start on Tuesday against the Rays. Ari Koslow Mon, Apr 6th
Notes
	Ryan Pepiot logged a career-high 167 2/3 innings in 2025, but the underlying metrics point to mild regression risk after his ERA rose to 3.86 with a 4.36 FIP. The 2026 projections peg him for similar volume with a mid-3.00s ERA and roughly a strikeout per inning, reinforcing his profile as a stable SP3/4 in fantasy formats. Pepiot's swing-and-miss ability remains intact, and the move back to Tropicana Field should correct the issues with the long ball. However, draft him for ratio stability and workload rather than expecting another skills leap. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros
