Injury Status: 15 Day IL
Injury: Knee
by Keith Hernandez
MLB.com's Mark Feinsand writes that right-handed reliever Andres Munoz's $8 million club option for the 2027 season seems likely to be picked up, as he remains a key piece of their bullpen. Munoz was an All-Star closer for the Mariners in both 2024 and 2025, but he struggled this past season, converting only 24 of his 32 save chances while posting a 4.28 ERA. The 27-year-old Mexican hurler also went 5-6 in his seventh year in the majors with a 1.22 WHIP with 89 strikeouts, and 24 walks in 57 1/3 innings pitched in his 61 total appearances. To top things off in 2026, the M's placed Munoz on the 15-day injured list to end his season early at the end of September with inflammation in his right knee. He should be fully recovered from that injury to start spring training next year, and he should be a lock to open the 2027 campaign as Seattle's primary closer unless he gets injured or really struggles in spring training. Munoz had 22 saves in 2024 and then followed it up with a career-high 38 saves and a 1.73 ERA in 64 relief appearances in 2025.

FANTASY OUTLOOK
Andres Munoz 2026 Fantasy Baseball Outlook: Expect Excellency But Not A 2025 Repeat
After three consecutive seasons of outstanding numbers, Andres Munoz had his best year in 2025. He had a career-high 38 saves, a career-best 1.73 ERA, and his 32.7% K% ranked in the 96th percentile. Munoz will once again start the season as the best bullpen arm in Seattle, entering games behind one of the best starting rotations in the Majors. There is little reason read more...
After three consecutive seasons of outstanding numbers, Andres Munoz had his best year in 2025. He had a career-high 38 saves, a career-best 1.73 ERA, and his 32.7% K% ranked in the 96th percentile. Munoz will once again start the season as the best bullpen arm in Seattle, entering games behind one of the best starting rotations in the Majors. There is little reason to believe Munoz won't be a top-five fantasy reliever again in 2026, but we should still expect some regression. Munoz's 3.05 xFIP and 2.98 SIERA suggest his 1.73 ERA was fortunate. Both his xFIP and SIERA were similar to what Munoz had in 2023 (2.94 ERA) and 2024 (2.12 ERA). That's not to say Munoz can't still be elite if his ERA regresses. His 2.82 xERA (expected ERA) ranked in the 93rd percentile. Given Munoz was one of only five pitchers to record 30 saves and tally 80 strikeouts, even a higher ERA in 2026 won't prevent him from being one of the best fantasy relievers this year. Draft Munoz and expect at least 30 saves and 80 strikeouts. Just don't be surprised or disappointed if he has a 2.50 ERA.less...
