| Notes | ||
| Kyle Bradish's road back from Tommy John surgery was long, but his return in August 2025 showed the potential for building on the breakout foundation he established during his 2023 Cy Young-caliber campaign. The 2026 projections appropriately price in strong ratios and strikeouts but stop short of a full starter's workload, capping his ceiling in volume-driven formats. Bradish profiles as a high-upside fantasy riser whose value spikes in leagues that prioritize ratios and strikeout efficiency over innings. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros | Nick Lodolo finally delivered the healthy, front-line season managers have been waiting for in 2025, logging 156.2 innings with a 3.33 ERA, 1.08 WHIP, and career-best 4.8% walk rate. The improved command was the separator, as his BB% dropped sharply while maintaining a strong 24.3% strikeout rate and suppressing hard contact (87.6 mph EV). Projections forecast another step forward in workload with ratios that remain comfortably above league average, positioning Lodolo as a high-end SP2 with SP1 upside if the command gains hold.
