2026 Fantasy Outlook
Pop owns a 6.68 ERA and 1.43 WHIP over the last three seasons and only made five big-league appearances last year. It was a surprise to see him earn a major-league contract with the Phillies in the offseason, and it would be an even bigger surprise to see him pitching in a fantasy-relevant role.

Signed a one-year contract with the Phillies in December of 2025.
Sidelined by calf strain
The Phillies placed Pop on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with a right calf strain.
Analysis
Pop evidently suffered the injury during an opener assignment Sunday against the Diamondbacks. He will be eligible for activation April 28, but it's too soon to know whether he will be back on that date. Kyle Backhus has taken Pop's spot on the roster and in the Philadelphia bullpen.
