2026 Fantasy Outlook
Butto finished the 2024 season strong in a relief role and opened up in the same capacity this past season. He was eventually shipped to the Giants in the Tyler Rogers trade, finishing the year with a disappointing 58:32 K:BB over 67 frames along with a 3.90 ERA. Butto has always struggled to throw strikes, and a move to the bullpen has not alleviated those issues. A strikeout rate in the 33rd percentile was concerning, but a whiff rate in the 76th percentile suggests that Butto should bounce back in that area in 2026 to some degree. He also boosted his groundball rate in 2025 to a career-high 48.2 percent. The Giants' bullpen looks like a weak link on paper, so it's possible Butto could work his way into more high-leverage situations. That said, Butto is among those contributing to the uncertainty with the team's relief corps. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a one-year contract with the Mets in March of 2025. Traded to the Giants in July of 2025.
Out for season
Butto underwent surgery Saturday to repair an artery in his right arm, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis
Butto previously had a blood clot removed from his arm, and his latest procedure will require 5-to-6 months of rehab, meaning he won't be able to make it back before the end of the season. He'll end 2026 with five earned runs allowed over just two innings.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2025
2024
2023
Butto didn't break camp with the Mets, but he was called up in the first week. He started seven games with an impressive 3.08 ERA, but 21 walks in 38 innings sent him to Triple-A Syracuse in mid-May. Butto was recalled in early July to fortify the bullpen. He posted a 2.00 ERA as a reliever, with an impressive 29.7 percent strikeout rate, more than five ticks better than his level as a starter. However, his walk rate barely fell, from 13.5 to 12.3 percent. Allowing only six homers in 74 frames kept Butto's ERA in check, though the estimators pegged it a run-and-a-half higher than actual. With the Mets gearing up for a playoff run with veteran starters, Butto will likely stay in the bullpen. He may garner some holds, but unless he improves control, expect an ERA spike.
