Fantasy Impact:
Rooney underwent elbow surgery in September, though the specific nature of the procedure and his recovery timeline are unclear. He made one appearance for Houston in 2025 but spent the majority of the season at Triple-A, where he posted a 2.56 ERA and a 55:24 K:BB ratio across 38.2 innings.
