Marlins Ronny Henriquez To Miss 2026 Season
The Miami Marlins right-handed reliever Ronny Henriquez (elbow) will miss the entire 2026 season after undergoing a hybrid UCL reconstruction surgery with an internal brace on his right elbow, according to Christina De Nicola of MLB.com. Henriquez was expected to compete for the closer's role after a strong 2025 campaign, where he posted a career-best 32.3% strikeout rate along with a 2.22 ERA (2.98 xERA) across 73 innings. With Henriquez sidelined until at least 2027, Miami signed free-agent reliever Pete Fairbanks to a one-year, $13 million contract. Fairbanks has had trouble staying healthy in the past, but he delivered his best workload last season, throwing a career-high 60 1/3 innings with 59 strikeouts, a 1.04 WHIP, and 27 saves for the Tampa Bay Rays. From a fantasy perspective, Fairbanks' value has jumped in a hurry. Since the news broke, he's been drafted as early as pick 96, after carrying an ADP of 132 beforehand. As long as Fairbanks stays healthy, he will be the Marlins' primary closer for 2026.
