Andres Munoz's Slow Start a Cause for Long-Term Concern?
Seattle Mariners closer Andres Munoz is off to an uncharacteristically poor start to the 2026 season, as he's recorded a 7.88 ERA and 1.63 WHIP across his first nine appearances of the year. Command has been a major issue for the right-hander, as he's issued five walks in just eight innings pitched. However, Munoz has also recorded 14 strikeouts, good for an excellent 36.8% strikeout rate. Munoz's line is also significantly inflated by one five-run outing against the San Diego Padres. In seven of his other eight appearances, Munoz did not allow an earned run. The 27-year-old should also have a fair bit of equity built up in Seattle, so he should have plenty of runway to rediscover his dominant form. While Munoz's slow start is obviously less than ideal, fantasy managers don't have reason to panic just yet.
