De León, 32, hasn’t thrown in the majors since 2023, when he made a career-high 12 outings for the Twins before Tommy John surgery sidelined him—now he’s a low-risk depth piece for Boston. Fantasy managers can pass; his recovery’s still untested, and he’s buried in the org chart for 2025.

José De León underwent an MRI Monday, which revealed a torn ligament in his elbow and will require Tommy John surgery.

Fantasy Impact

José De León pitched well in his first start against the Pirates with five innings pitched while allowing three hits, two earned runs, and two walks with nine strikeouts. Then he got lit up for six earned runs across 4.1 innings with nine punchouts against the Diamondbacks. José De León flashed his sinker/changeup combination that both elicited a whiff rate above 33%. In 15-team leagues, managers could still hang on for 1-2 more weeks or start him for potential wins, strikeouts, and ratios.
