Rest-of-Season Projections
2026 Fantasy Outlook
Mena opened the 2025 season in Triple-A but made the most of his three big-league appearances, allowing only one run on three hits and three walks while striking out six across 6.2 innings, earning a win and a hold in the process. Those kinds of outings had him on the inside track to earning a permanent spot on the Diamondbacks' major-league roster, but those aspirations vanished after he suffered a teres major strain in his right shoulder. He landed on the 60-day IL in mid-June and has yet to be cleared to throw, which puts his availability for spring training and the start of the 2026 season in jeopardy. Mena's control when healthy is a concern, but it's hard to ignore his K-BB rate (18.8 percent) in the minors and his whiff rate (30.4 percent) in the majors in 2025, albeit with a small sample size for the latter. Depending on how his recovery goes, Mena could sneak his way back onto the major-league roster in 2026, giving him fantasy value for strikeouts for those who have the space to hold onto him while on a potential rehab assignment.

Signed a one-year contract with the Diamondbacks in March of 2025.
Opening season on 60-day IL
The Diamondbacks placed Mena (shoulder) on the 60-day injured list Wednesday.
Analysis
Mena didn't pitch after June 6 last season after straining his right shoulder and had received a clean bill of health heading into spring training before aggravating the injury early in camp. The right-hander remains shut down from throwing and will now be shelved for at least the first two months of the season while he continues to rehab the injury.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Chance for big-league debut?
Mena could be called up to make his MLB debut Wednesday against the Dodgers after previously scheduled starter Jordan Montgomery was placed on the injured list with knee inflammation, reports Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com.
Analysis
Mena's last outing for Triple-A Reno came on June 26, so he could easily be inserted into Arizona's rotation. The 21-year-old was acquired from the White Sox in February and has struggled for Reno this season with a 4.90 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 89:38 K:BB in 16 starts, so he would be a risky streaming option for fantasy managers should he get the call from the Diamondbacks.
