2026 Fantasy Outlook
Fuentes missed the last six weeks of 2025 with shoulder inflammation and gave up 20 earned runs over 13 innings in the majors, but he could still have a productive 2026 campaign if healthy. Fuentes should be graded on a curve, given that he was the youngest player to play in the majors last year by eight months and doesn't turn 21 until mid June. Fuentes' fastball got rocked by big leaguers because he wasn't locating it up in the zone, but that mid-90s offering (touches 99 mph) has strong characteristics and is easily his best pitch. Over Fuentes' final eight starts in the minors, stretching from May to August, he logged a 3.22 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 46:8 K:BB in 36.1 innings. Five of those starts came at Triple-A, where Fuentes was the youngest pitcher to throw 20-plus innings. Atlanta has pushed Fuentes aggressively for a reason, but he's still developing, particularly his fastball command and secondary offerings. Assuming he's healthy, Fuentes should open the year at Triple-A and will be a big-league rotation option this summer. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a one-year contract with Atlanta in March of 2026.
Piling up Ks at Triple-A
Fuentes has a 0.00 ERA, 0.87 WHIP and 15:5 K:BB through 9.2 innings in his first two starts of the season for Triple-A Gwinnett.
Analysis
The 20-year-old began the year in the big-league bullpen, but since being optioned to Gwinnett, Fuentes has dominated Triple-A hitters. He's likely first in line for a promotion when Atlanta needs rotation help, but with Reynaldo Lopez not set to miss a turn after having his suspension reduced to five games from seven and Martin Perez looking at least adequate so far as the fifth starter, Fuentes may need to bide his time in the International League.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Chance for call-up?
Fuentes will be eligible to be recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett this week and could soon get a look in Atlanta's rotation after Martin Perez was designated for assignment Sunday, reports Lindsay Crosby of BravesToday.com.
Analysis
The right-hander opened the season in Atlanta's bullpen and was excellent in his season debut with one run allowed over four innings of long relief, but he was optioned to Gwinnett the following day. Fuentes has stayed stretched out at Triple-A and been excellent through his first two starts, striking out 15 across 9.2 scoreless frames. Atlanta doesn't need a fifth starter until next week, at which point Fuentes could get a look in the big-league rotation.
