UFC veteran Rob Font suffered a unanimous decision loss to Raul Rosas Jr. on the main card of UFC 326 on Saturday. Font had some success with his striking early on, but once Rosas Jr. started landing takedowns on Font, Rosas Jr. maintained control on the ground while Font was unable to escape. It should also be noted that across three rounds, Font got taken down 16 times. In 15 minutes of action, Font landed 10 significant strikes. With the loss, Font dropped to 22-10 as a pro and is now 12-9 in the UFC.--Alen Kurbasic

UFC prospect Raul Rosas Jr. extended his win streak by defeating UFC veteran Rob Font via unanimous decision on the main card of UFC 326 on Saturday. It was a dominant performance by Rosas Jr., who used his wrestling control to shut down Font; however, he seemed uninterested in trying to land any damage. In 15 minutes of action, Rosas Jr. landed 16 takedowns and eight significant strikes. This is the biggest win of Rosas Jr.'s career, who extended his win streak to five. With the win, Rosas Jr. improved to 12-1 as a pro and is now 6-1 in the UFC.--Alen Kurbasic

Detroit Tigers outfield prospect Max Clark was reassigned to minor league camp on Monday. The Tigers' second-ranked prospect participated in his first big league camp this year, but went just 2-for-18 (.111) during his time there. It's not clear which level he'll begin the season at, but if successful, the left-handed slugger could debut in Detroit later this year. The former third-overall draft pick finished the 2025 campaign at Double-A, slashing .251/.360/.439 with seven home runs and seven steals in 43 games. Notably, MLB's No. 10 prospect walked (14.2 percent) nearly as much as he struck out (16.7 percent), showing that he was not overmatched at that level. With no major league debut imminent, Clark isn't draftable in most fantasy leagues, but with the potential to be a multi-category contributor later in the year, fantasy managers should keep an eye on the 21-year-old's progress once the season gets underway.--Jarod Rupp

The New Orleans Saints are signing former Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. to a four-year, $52 million deal on Monday, sources told Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports. It's a major addition for the Saints' offense, as Etienne had over 1,000 rushing yards in 2025 and contributes in both the run and pass game. The addition of the former Clemson star is a sign that the Saints could be releasing veteran Alvin Kamara this week after he ended last season with a knee injury. New Orleans also has Kendre Miller (knee) and Devin Neal (hamstring) at RB on the roster, but Etienne will be the clear lead back going into next season. The 27-year-old has gone over 1,000 rushing yards in three of the last four seasons and will join a New Orleans offense that was scrappy with rookie quarterback Tyler Shough running things to close out the year. Etienne's speed and three-down skill set will give him clear RB1 upside in 2026 in the Big Easy.--Keith Hernandez

UFC veteran Michael Johnson suffered a second-round knockout loss to Drew Dober on the main card of UFC 326 on Saturday. Although both men had success with their striking in the opening round, Johnson outlanded Dober and was the faster fighter. The finishing sequence came in the second round when Dober landed a left hand, then came right back with another one that knocked Johnson out. In 6:53 of action, Johnson landed 27 significant strikes. With the loss, Johnson dropped to 16-16 in the UFC.--Alen Kurbasic

Drew Dober extended his lightweight knockout record in the leading promotion on the main card of UFC 326, finishing UFC veteran Michael Johnson via second-round knockout. The opening round went to Johnson, who was faster and landed 18 significant strikes compared to Dober, who landed 10. The fight concluded in the second round after Dober landed a thunderous left hand that knocked Johnson out. In 6:53 of action, Dober landed 22 significant strikes. With the win, Dober improved to 15-11 with one NC in the UFC.--Alen Kurbasic

The Arizona Cardinals agreed to terms on a two-year, $12.25 million deal with former Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier on Monday, according to Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network. Allgeier had a career-low 514 rushing yards on 143 rushing attempts in 2025 in his final year in Atlanta, but he still managed to score a career-high eight rushing touchdowns. The 25-year-old added 14 receptions for 96 additional yards as the backup to superstar back Bijan Robinson. The former fifth-rounder in 2022 out of BYU will now head to the desert to give the Cardinals more backfield depth with both James Conner (foot) and Trey Benson (knee) coming off season-ending injuries a year ago. It's not the best landing spot for fantasy football purposes for Allgeier, but he should at least be a touchdown-dependent RB3/flex option while being paired with Conner in a rebuilding Cardinals offense. The addition of Allgeier is certainly bad news for Benson's dynasty stock.--Keith Hernandez

The Tennessee Titans agreed on an undisclosed two-year deal with free-agent quarterback Mitchell Trubisky on Monday, according to Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network. Trubisky will head to Nashville, where he'll be the top backup to young signal-caller Cameron Ward, who is heading into just his second NFL season in 2026. The 31-year-old veteran spent the last two years with the Buffalo Bills as Josh Allen's backup, going 44-for-61 passing for 492 yards, six touchdowns, and no interceptions in 13 appearances (no starts). The former second overall pick by the Chicago Bears in 2017 out of North Carolina has completed just 64.4% of his career pass attempts for 13,028 yards, 78 touchdowns, and 48 interceptions in nine NFL seasons. With Trubisky now in town as QB insurance, the Titans are expected to move on from Will Levis (shoulder).--Keith Hernandez

Free-agent tight end Austin Hooper is signing a one-year, $3.25 million deal with the Atlanta Falcons on Monday, according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. Hooper was originally drafted by Atlanta in the third round in 2016 out of Stanford. The 31-year-old veteran spent the first four years of his NFL career with the Falcons and was a Pro Bowler with them in 2018 and 2019. He then bounced around with the Cleveland Browns, Tennessee Titans, Las Vegas Raiders, and New England Patriots. Hooper hasn't been as productive as he was in his final two seasons in Atlanta, and in his return, he'll be a backup to TE Kyle Pitts Sr. In 16 regular-season games (six starts) for the Patriots last year, Hooper had just 21 catches for 263 yards and two touchdowns. Unless Pitts is traded or injured in 2026, Hooper won't be on the fantasy radar in redraft leagues this fall.--Keith Hernandez

Former Pittsburgh Steelers running back Kenneth Gainwell is signing a two-year, $14 million deal that includes $10 million guaranteed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday, sources told Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports. Gainwell was the Steelers' MVP last year, totaling 1,023 scrimmage yards and eight touchdowns as a dual-threat RB. The 26-year-old was a perfect fit for the Steelers' checkdown offense last year, as he ran for 537 yards and a career-high five touchdowns on 114 carries, adding a career-best 73 receptions for 486 yards and three more TDs on 85 targets in 17 regular-season games. In Tampa, the former fifth-rounder in 2021 out of Memphis will serve as a change-of-pace option behind starter Bucky Irving, effectively replacing Rachaad White in the team's backfield. Gainwell's fantasy needle is pointing up, although his 73-catch season in 2025 will probably end up being an outlier.--Keith Hernandez

The New York Giants are signing former Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely to a three-year, $40 million deal on Monday with a maximum value of $47.5 million, multiple sources told Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports. The deal makes Likely the third-highest paid tight end in the NFL and will pair him with young quarterback Jaxson Dart and receiver Malik Nabers. The 25-year-old will finally get out of the shadow of veteran Mark Andrews in Baltimore. The move to the Big Apple will make Likely a popular sleeper pick in 2026 fantasy football drafts with clear TE1 upside, although the Giants still have a very capable pass-catching TE in Theo Johnson. The money the Giants are giving Likely suggests he'll be the primary TE1 in New York next year, giving him the most fantasy upside he's had yet in his career. A foot injury caused Likely to get a late start in 2025, and he never recovered, finishing with a career-low 307 yards and only one touchdown on 27 catches through 14 games.--Keith Hernandez

The Miami Dolphins are signing former Green Bay Packers quarterback Malik Willis to a three-year, $67.5 million deal with $45 million fully guaranteed on Monday, sources told Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. Miami was always the obvious landing spot for Willis, who will reunite with head coach Jeff Hafley and general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan from their time in Green Bay. The Dolphins are releasing Tua Tagovailoa, paving the way for Willis to take over starting QB duties for the Dolphins in 2026. The 26-year-old former third-rounder of the Tennessee Titans in 2022 out of Liberty appeared in 11 games (three starts) for Green Bay the last two years and was impressive, completing 78.7% of his pass attempts for 976 yards, six touchdowns, and no interceptions. He added 262 rushing yards and three rushing TDs. Willis' dual-threat abilities will make him an intriguing QB2 dart throw with plenty of upside, although the Dolphins will need to add some playmakers at receiver to help him out.--Keith Hernandez

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are re-signing tight end Cade Otton to an undisclosed deal on Monday, sources told Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network. Otton will return to Tampa for a fifth season after catching 207 of his 300 targets for 2,018 yards and 11 touchdowns in 63 games (58 starts) in his first four years in the NFL. The 26-year-old former fourth-round selection in 2022 out of Washington tied his career-high with 59 receptions in 2025 for 572 yards, but he found the end zone just once in 16 starts. He hasn't been much more than a matchup-based TE2 streamer for fantasy football purposes, although Otton could see a boost in targets from quarterback Baker Mayfield if veteran receiver Mike Evans leaves in free agency this offseason. Still, Otton's TE25 finish in half-PPR scoring last year doesn't exactly give much hope for the future when the Bucs were decimated by injuries at WR in 2025. UPDATE: Otton is receiving a three-year deal from Tampa.--Keith Hernandez

The Pittsburgh Steelers are acquiring wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. from the Indianapolis Colts on Monday in exchange for a late-round pick, according to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network. The Colts deemed Pittman expendable after re-signing Alec Pierce to a four-year deal on Monday. The 28-year-old former second-round pick in 2020 out of USC took another step back in 2025 in his sixth year in the NFL with an 80-784-7 line on 111 targets over 17 games played. Pittman does have two 1,000-yard seasons in his career, but expecting a third in 2026 in Pittsburgh probably isn't wise for fantasy managers, especially when considering the unknown quarterback situation in the Steel City. It's the second straight year Pittsburgh has traded for a wideout -- last year, they landed DK Metcalf from Seattle. In his new digs, Pittman will most likely operate as the WR2 behind Metcalf.--Keith Hernandez

Free-agent veteran wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus is signing an undisclosed deal with the Atlanta Falcons on Monday, sources told Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network. Zaccheaus went undrafted out of Virginia before latching on with the Falcons in 2019. The 28-year-old spent the first four years of his NFL career in Atlanta, catching 94 passes for 1,328 yards and eight touchdowns on 151 targets in 55 games (23 starts). Zaccheaus will now return to the Falcons after catching 39 of his 65 targets for 313 yards and two touchdowns in 16 regular-season games (five starts) in 2025 in his lone season with the Chicago Bears. With Darnell Mooney not expected to return, Zaccheaus could have the opportunity to serve as the team's No. 2 wideout behind Drake London, depending on what other additions the team makes at the position in free agency and the draft. At best, though, Zaccheaus will most likely be a low-upside WR4/flex in deeper fantasy football leagues in his return to Atlanta.--Keith Hernandez

Former Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III is signing a three-year, $45 million deal with the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday, sources told Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network. It's about the best possible landing spot for Walker, who was named Super Bowl LX MVP last month. The Chiefs were in desperate need of backfield help with both Isiah Pacheco and Kareem Hunt hitting free agency this week. The 25-year-old Walker will help stabilize KC's backfield as they look to get back to the postseason in 2026. Walker had 1,027 rushing yards and five rushing touchdowns on 221 carries in 17 regular-season starts last year, adding 31 receptions for 282 yards through the air. Seattle paired Walker with Zach Charbonnet (knee) to keep him healthy for a full season for the first time in his career. Walker added 313 rushing yards and four TDs in three postseason games to raise his price in free agency even more. Now in KC, Walker will have plenty of upside as a high-end RB2/low-end RB1 in fantasy.--Keith Hernandez

Seattle Mariners shortstop J.P. Crawford (shoulder) is back in the Cactus League lineup on Monday against the Arizona Diamondbacks, as expected, after a brief hiatus this spring due to shoulder pain, according to Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times. Crawford is at shortstop and is batting fifth for the M's. He said he has played through worse during the regular season, but since it's spring training, the team decided to have him rest his shoulder. Barring a setback, Crawford should be just fine for the start of the 2026 regular season in late March. Monday's game is Crawford's first start at shortstop since Feb. 20. The 31-year-old former 16th overall pick by the Philadelphia Phillies in 2013 hit .265/.352/.370 with a .722 OPS, 12 home runs, 58 RBI, 69 runs scored, and a career-high eight steals in 157 games last year in his ninth year in the league. With limited power and speed -- he has only reached double-digit homers twice in his career and has never stolen double-digit bases -- Crawford has limited fantasy upside. He's ranked as RotoBaller's No. 39 fantasy shortstop.--Keith Hernandez

Free-agent wide receiver Alec Pierce is re-signing with the Indianapolis Colts on Monday on a four-year, $116 million deal, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. There were rumblings that Pierce would get away from the Colts on the open market, but they have locked down one of the top receiving options this offseason after he led the team in receiving in 2025. The 25-year-old former second-rounder in 2022 out of Cincinnati had a career year last season, catching 47 of his 84 targets for 1,003 yards and six touchdowns in 15 games played. Pierce has led the NFL the last two years in yards per catch, making him one of the best young deep threats in the game. He has a strong connection with quarterback Daniel Jones (Achilles), which is a big reason he ended up returning to Indy. The Colts have plenty of weapons on offense, but Pierce will once again be one of their top playmakers with plenty of fantasy upside as long as Jones has recovered from his Achilles tendon tear in 2025.--Keith Hernandez

San Francisco Giants first baseman Rafael Devers (hamstring) is back in the Cactus League lineup on Monday as the designated hitter against the Los Angeles Angels after missing some time recently in spring training with hamstring tightness, according to Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports. Devers is batting leadoff for the Giants. Barring another setback with his hamstring, Devers should be totally fine for Opening Day later this month. The 29-year-old is still searching for his first hit in spring training after going hitless in his first nine Cactus League plate appearances. The Dominican infielder and three-time All-Star was traded from the Boston Red Sox to the Giants last year and finished with a .252/.372/.479 slash line, .851 OPS, 35 home runs, 109 RBI, and 99 runs scored in 163 total games. Twenty of his 35 homers came with the Gigantes. Although he's in a pitcher-friendly park, Devers should be considered a top-10 fantasy first baseman.--Keith Hernandez

The Atlanta Falcons are expected to make a "strong push" for former Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa in a deal that could come together as soon as Monday, according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. There is mutual interest with the Falcons potentially needing a veteran QB with starting experience since Michael Penix Jr. (knee) might not be ready for the start of the 2026 regular season this fall. The Dolphins owe Tagovailoa $54 million guaranteed despite releasing him, so the Falcons can sign him for the veteran minimum in 2026. At the very least, Tagovailoa would be competing with Penix for the starting job in Atlanta this summer. The former fifth overall pick out of Alabama in 2020 led the NFL with 4,624 passing yards and a career-best 29 touchdowns in 2023, but he has dealt with multiple concussions and has regressed over the last two years, leading to his release. Tua would have some interesting weapons on offense if he starts for the Falcons, but in fantasy football, he'd still only be a low-end QB2 looking to bounce back with a change of scenery.--Keith Hernandez

Team Penske's Ryan Blaney won the Straight Talk Wireless 500 at Phoenix Raceway after suffering some setbacks during the race. Blaney began the race from the fifth position, but quickly showcased plenty of speed in his No. 12 Ford in the first stage. Blaney went from fifth to first by lap 47 and never looked back as he won the first stage. In the stage break caution, Blaney lost the lead on pit road to Christopher Bell and restarted the stage in third. After pitting during another caution on lap 99, Blaney had to head back to pit road to fix a loose wheel and restart from the back. The Penske driver spent the rest of the second stage recovering from this pit road mistake and finished the second stage in 12th. In the final stage, Blaney's crew had another pit road mistake that sent him to the back of the pack again. Blaney spent most of the stage recovering to the front and eventually returned to the top five to compete for the lead with Bell. On the final pit stop, Blaney opted to take a two-tire pit stop instead of four to maintain track position for the final restart. This call paid off for Blaney as he made it to the lead and held off a hard-charging Bell to win at Phoenix. Blaney's victory was his second in a row at Phoenix, and he is now second in the Cup Series regular season standings after four races.--Sean Engel - RotoBaller

Christopher Bell of Joe Gibbs Racing was the most dominant driver of Sunday's Straight Talk Wireless 500 at Phoenix Raceway, but fell short of victory. The No. 20 Toyota driver started 12th in the race, but quickly demonstrated that he had the fastest car of the field on longer green flag runs. During the first stage, Bell climbed up from 12th to finish the stage in second, earning nine stage points. In the second stage, Bell dominated for the majority of the stage. Despite a few cautions that shuffled the field and challenges for the lead by Joey Logano and Denny Hamlin, Bell prevailed and won the second stage. In the final stage, Bell led the race at a couple of different points, but mainly competed for the win with Ryan Blaney. At the end of the race, Blaney took the lead, and then Bell spent the last run of the race chasing Blaney for the win. Although Bell was able to cut the gap to roughly 0.4 seconds, he fell short of passing Blaney for the win, settling for second despite leading the most laps (176). This would be Bell's fourth top-5 finish in the last five races at Phoenix, and he now sits sixth in the regular season standings.--Sean Engel - RotoBaller

Kyle Larson of Hendrick Motorsports finished third in Sunday's Straight Talk Wireless 500 at Phoenix Raceway. Starting from second, Larson struggled in the first stage as his car lost grip over time and eventually ended the stage in 13th, scoring no stage points. During the second stage, Larson's struggles continued as he was penalized for being too fast on pit road during a caution, and he restarted at the back of the pack. Despite this setback, Larson was able to recover and navigate through the pack to finish in ninth at the end of stage two, earning two stage points. In the final stage, Larson ran in the top 10 through most of the stage and kept his car clean, but in the final few restarts, made his way to the top five. In the final restart, Larson fought for second with Christopher Bell and Ty Gibbs, but ended up finishing in third place. This finish marked Larson's fourth top-5 finish in a row at Phoenix as well as his first of the 2026 season. Larson is now 10th in the regular season standings after four races.--Sean Engel - RotoBaller

Joe Gibbs Racing's Denny Hamlin finished fifth in the Straight Talk Wireless 500 at Phoenix Raceway. The No. 11 Toyota driver began the race from the 11th position and quietly made moves for position in the first stage. Hamlin made it up to fifth by the end of the first stage without issue and scored six stage points. The second stage, much like the first, saw Hamlin gaining positions quietly on track, but he became more of a factor for the lead by the late parts of the stage. Hamlin made it up to the top three during the second stage's final restart on lap 168, and he took advantage of restarting against slower cars to briefly hold the lead for a few laps until his teammate, Christopher Bell, passed him on lap 173. At the end of the second stage, Hamlin placed second and earned nine more stage points. In the final stage, Hamlin ran in the top 10 for most of the stage and avoided several crashes. Despite having one of the fastest cars in the field, Hamlin could only finish in fifth place at the end of the race as he did not have the speed to catch the top four. Hamlin's finish of fifth marked his first top-5 finish of the year, and he now sits 12th in the regular season standings after four races.--Sean Engel - RotoBaller

Joey Logano of Team Penske had a disappointing result of 31st, despite being one of the top-performing drivers in Sunday's Straight Talk Wireless 500 at Phoenix Raceway. Beginning the race from the pole position, Logano dominated the early portion of the first stage until his teammate Ryan Blaney passed him on lap 47. Before the end of the stage, Christopher Bell also passed Logano, leaving Logano to finish the first stage in third and score eight stage points. In the second stage, Logano continued to run inside the top three through the early part of the stage, and after some cautions, Logano took back the lead on lap 110 until Bell passed him for the lead on lap 125. Pit strategies late in the second stage after another caution moved Logano further back into the top 10, but on the final restart of the second stage, Logano rallied back to third to obtain eight more stage points. In the final stage, Logano was having an up-and-down performance as he did regain the lead at one point, but then found himself in the middle of the pack after pit stops shuffled the field. On lap 254, however, Logano's race would come to an end as he made contact with A.J. Allmendinger and was involved in a multicar wreck that ended his day. Logano would be credited with a DNF and a finish of 31st, his worst Phoenix finish since March 2024. After four races, Logano is now seventh in the regular season standings as the Cup Series now heads to Las Vegas.--Sean Engel - RotoBaller

Athletics second baseman Zack Gelof (shoulder) is making his Cactus League debut on Monday in spring training against the Cincinnati Reds, according to Martin Gallegos of MLB.com. Gelof is serving as the designated hitter and will bat fifth for the A's. The 26-year-old is just now making his spring debut after having surgery in September of last year to fix a dislocated left shoulder. Gelof hit .174/.230/.272 with a career-worst .502 OPS, two home runs, seven RBI, and 12 runs scored in only 30 games in 2025 in his third year in the big leagues because of injuries. He hit .231/.294/.412 with 31 home runs, 81 RBI, and 39 stolen bases in his first two MLB seasons, but he led all of baseball with 188 strikeouts in 547 plate appearances in 2024. When healthy, Gelof will compete for a spot in the A's everyday lineup, but given his late start this spring, he's more likely to begin the 2026 season at Triple-A Sacramento.--Keith Hernandez

Kansas City Chiefs future Hall of Fame tight end Travis Kelce is expected to return to the Chiefs for a 14th season in 2026, according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. The 36-year-old made his 11th Pro Bowl in 2025 and will stay loyal and return to KC despite having the opportunity to test the open market this offseason. The four-time All-Pro hasn't reached the 1,000-yard receiving mark since 2022 and is a much bigger injury risk for fantasy football purposes, but he still has enough in the tank to be in the TE1 picture for his 14th NFL season. Kelce caught 76 of his 108 targets last year for 851 yards and five touchdowns, ranking as the TE4 in half-PPR scoring. He's no longer at his peak, obviously, but he will return to a Chiefs offense with quarterback Patrick Mahomes still at the helm and with future Hall of Fame head coach Andy Reid running the offense.--Keith Hernandez

Cornerback Montaric Brown re-signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars on a three-year, $33 million deal, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Brown, a former seventh-rounder in 2022, would have had a strong market had he made it to free agency. The 26-year-old from Arkansas has had a bigger role in Jacksonville the last two seasons, combining for 126 tackles (98 solo), six tackles for loss, three interceptions, and 20 pass breakups in 32 total games (22 starts). Last year, Brown had 51 tackles (43 solo), a career-high two interceptions, and a career-high 12 pass breakups in 15 regular-season games (12 starts) for the Jags. He had a strong Pro Football Focus coverage grade in 2025 and will now stay in Jacksonville as an outside cornerback through the 2028 season.--Keith Hernandez

Standout offensive guard Ed Ingram agreed to terms with the Houston Texans on Monday on a three-year, $37.5 million deal, sources told Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. Ingram will make $12.5 million per year. The Texans acquired Ingram from the Minnesota Vikings last offseason in exchange for a sixth-round draft pick. The 27-year-old offensive lineman had a career year in his first season in Houston while starting all 14 of the regular-season games he appeared in. The Texans still have a lot of work to do to improve their offensive line, but getting Ingram locked down was a big priority before the official start of free agency on Wednesday. Ingram was initially a second-round pick (59th overall) by the Vikings in 2022 out of LSU. He spent the first three years of his career in Minnesota. Ingram has started 55 of the 62 games he's appeared in over his four seasons in the NFL.--Keith Hernandez

Houston Astros manager Joe Espada said that left-handed closer Josh Hader (biceps) will throw a bullpen session on Tuesday in camp, according to Brian McTaggart of MLB.com. It will be the first time that Hader has thrown off a mound this spring after he reported to spring training last month with left-biceps inflammation. The 31-year-old southpaw also missed the end of last season with a left-shoulder strain, so he's carrying a lot more injury risk for fantasy managers going into his 10th year in the big leagues. The six-time All-Star was still pretty dominant as Houston's closer last year despite dealing with injuries, as he posted a 2.05 ERA (3.25 FIP), 0.85 WHIP, 28 saves, 76 strikeouts, and 16 walks in 52 2/3 innings pitched. There's a good chance that the Astros will play it safe and have Hader open the 2026 regular season on the injured list, which has made right-hander Bryan Abreu a more attractive late-round dart throw for saves speculators.--Keith Hernandez
