Fantasy Impact:
Sale will take the hill against Kansas City left-hander Cole Ragans in the season opener, posting a 1.07 WHIP and 2.58 ERA in 21 appearances (7-5, 165 strikeouts) on the mound during the 2025 season. The veteran left-hander projects as a top starting option for fantasy managers while leading an injury-ravaged Atlanta rotation entering the 2026 season.
