2026 Fantasy Outlook
Parker got off to a flying start in 2025, posting a 1.39 ERA in 32.1 innings across his first five starts of the season. Those good feelings were short lived, as he went on to log a 5-15 record over his next 25 starts while sporting a 7.00 ERA and 1.60 WHIP over 126 innings, which prompted the Nationals to move the southpaw to the bullpen in September. Parker's role in 2026 is unclear, and given that he ranked near the bottom of qualified pitchers in xBA, xERA and strikeout rate, he would provide limited fantasy value even if he were a part of Washington's rotation by Opening Day.

Picks up win in 2026 debut
Parker (1-0) picked up the win Tuesday against the Pirates, allowing two hits with no walks and five strikeouts across two scoreless innings.
Analysis
After PJ Poulin and Miles Mikolas combined to surrender four runs on five hits and two walks with two home runs allowed across 4.1 innings, Parker was called on in relief after he was recalled from Triple-A earlier in the day Tuesday. It was an impressive season debut for the left-hander after he failed to make the big-league club out of spring training. With Mikolas continuing to get pummeled to the tune of an 11.49 ERA and six home runs allowed, Parker could be a candidate to replace the veteran in the Nationals' rotation moving forward.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2025
2024
Parker beat the eventual world champion Dodgers in his big-league debut in April, and while there were bumps in the road from there, his final numbers as a rookie were highly respectable. The left-hander made 29 starts and totaled 151 innings for the Nationals, pitching to a 4.29 ERA and 1.30 WHIP. HIs fastball is lacking and can get touched up, but his splitter and slider both had whiff rates over 35 percent last season, hinting at room for growth with his strikeout rate even with his below-average velocity. He had a nine-run disaster Aug. 15 at Philadelphia which should serve as a reminder of his downside in the wrong matchup. Eventually he could shed the streamer label, but at least for now Parker should be deployed judiciously, if rostered.
