Let's wrap up a short, four-part series looking at excelling and struggling fantasy baseball players at the start of the 2026 season. Here, we'll go over struggling fantasy pitchers.
Yesterday, we looked at fantasy baseball hitters who were struggling and excelling to start the regular season. Now, we will look over some pitchers struggling and excelling.
Injury news around the MLB continues to pile up, so we have another article to dive into.
The middle of the work week is here, which means it's time for our third fantasy baseball waiver wire article of the week!
Injuries are a reality in all sports, but it seems like only a matter of time before pitchers start going down each season. Numbers show that the most pitcher injuries occur in April and May, so we are in prime time as far as losing hurlers for extended stretches.
We just went over fantasy baseball hitters who are excelling and struggling in the early going, and now it's time to turn our attention to the minor leagues.
After discussing 10 of the top-performing fantasy baseball hitters to start the season, let's go over some struggling fantasy baseball hitters.
We are nearly two weeks into the MLB regular season now, so it's time to go over some notable players and how they are performing.
Let's go over our second round of fantasy baseball waiver wire/streaming options for the week!
