Notes
	Yoshinobu Yamamoto followed up his MLB debut with a strong 2025, flashing elite command and swing-and-miss ability even as his workload was managed. That, however, went out the window when he threw 37 1/3 postseason innings, bringing his total to 210 in 2025. His 2026 projections show maintained excellent ratios and strikeout efficiency. The biggest knock against Yamamoto is that he pitches for the Dodgers, who have a deep enough staff to go with a six-man rotation or rest elite starters down the stretch (fantasy playoffs) if they wish. In any case, Yamamoto profiles as a high-end fantasy starter whose value is anchored in ratios. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros	Sandy Alcantara's 2025 season was a clear step back, as his ERA ballooned to 5.36 with a diminished 19.1% strikeout rate and a career-worst 45.1% hard-hit rate allowed. Projections expect some normalization, particularly in ERA and WHIP, but not a full return to his 2022 dominance. Without a rebound in strikeout rate or ground-ball lean, Alcantara profiles more as a volume-based SP3/SP4. The innings floor still carries value in deeper formats, but managers drafting him as a bounce-back ace are assuming skills growth that hasn't yet reappeared in the underlying data. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros
		He showed glimpses of his former Cy Young self, posting a 3.33 over his final 13 starts in 2025. I am chalking up the rocky first half to TJ injury recovery and banking on him being the pitcher we saw in the latter stages of last season. Anthony Gambale - Roto Street Journal
