Fantasy Impact: Lee has been the unsung hero of the Braves' bullpen over the last couple of seasons. The southpaw pitched to a 3.29 ERA and a 0.98 WHIP in 74 appearances with Atlanta last season. In 68.1 innings, he walked only 14 batters, struck out 74, but did allow 13 home runs. In 2024, Lee pitched to a 2.11 ERA in 59.2 innings. He has a career ERA of 2.82 in 204.1 innings across parts of five seasons with the Braves and should be a vital arm again in 2026. Lee can be useful for fantasy owners in leagues that feature ratios and holds as categories.

Fantasy Impact: Heim is coming off of a disappointing 2025 season that saw him bat .213 with 11 home runs and 43 RBI in 433 plate appearances with the Rangers. He also threw out just 15.7% of would-be base stealers last season. An All-Star in 2023, Heim is a career .225 hitter with 68 home runs in 2,200 plate appearances across parts of six major league seasons. It's a solid signing for the Braves who needed another catcher with Sean Murphy opening the season on the injured list. Reigning NL Rookie of the Year, Drake Baldwin, should see a majority of the starts behind the plate.
