Fantasy Impact: Hoglund's 2026 season is off to an ominous start after hip surgery limited him to just 12 starts between Triple-A and the big leagues in 2025. The 26-year-old posted a 6.40 ERA in his six big-league starts a season ago.

Fantasy Impact: It appears Lopez will have plenty of time to get caught up before Opening Day. The southpaw posted a 4.08 ERA in 21 outings (17 starts) for the Athletics last season.
