Fantasy Impact:
Baz, who was acquired from the Rays in a trade last month, has spent his entire major league career pitching for Tampa Bay. The 26-year-old made a career-high 31 starts last season and went 10-12 with a 4.87 ERA in 166.1 innings. In parts of four seasons, Baz is 17-17 with a 4.25 ERA in 286 career innings. The righthander should be one of Baltimore's top three starters in the rotation to start the 2026 season.
