Injury Status: Healthy
Across 117 innings (20 starts) in 2026, Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Zebby Matthews has recorded a 9-9 record with a 4.69 ERA, 1.25 WHIP, and 97 strikeouts. While Matthews' season-long numbers may not stand out as particularly impressive, he's been much better in recent appearances. Across his last 47 innings (eight starts), the 26-year-old has posted a 5-2 record with a 3.64 ERA, 1.11 WHIP, and 39 strikeouts. Matthews' lack of strikeout ability limits his fantasy upside, but he profiles as a potential WHIP asset due to his stellar command (6.8% walk rate). As a matchup-dependent streaming option, Matthews profiles as a quality option for fantasy managers. His next scheduled start will come on Wednesday in Detroit against the Tigers.

Zebby Matthews split his season in 2025 between Triple-A St. Paul and the Minnesota Twins' big club. In 16 MLB games, Matthews registered a 5-6 record, 5.56 ERA, 1.49 WHIP, and 10.0 K/9. Despite his underwhelming stats, Matthews did post above-average numbers in K% (24.9) and BB% (6.8) last year. In eight games in Triple-A in 2025, Matthews logged a 2-1 record, 1.72 ERA, 1.09 WHIP, and 11.5 K/9. Although he was originally set to return to Triple-A for the 2026 season, MLB.com's Matthew Leach reported that Matthews became a candidate for the No. 5 rotation spot for the Twins to replace the injured Pablo Lopez, who will undergo Tommy John surgery and miss the entire 2026 season. ATC projections forecast Matthews to post a 7-7 record with a 4.12 ERA and 1.23 WHIP in 121 innings pitched. NFBC players are drafting Matthews at an ADP of 305. RotoBaller.com ranks Matthews at No. 254 overall and No. 100 among starting pitchers. Matthews may be a potential fantasy value as a deeper starting pitcher if given the opportunity, especially as his .357 BABIP and 67.2% strand rate in 2025 indicate that he may have endured through some bad luck.less...
