2026 Fantasy Outlook

Burrows was on the verge of breaking camp with the Pirates in 2023, but he suffered an untimely elbow injury that required Tommy John surgery to repair. That leaves 2025 as his only substantial sample in the majors, when he made 23 appearances (19 starts) while working 96.0 total innings. As those numbers indicate, Pittsburgh kept a close eye on Burrows' workload, as he was only allowed to complete six frames in an appearance twice all season. It's worth taking some of his metrics with a grain of salt as a result - he very rarely faced an opposing lineup three times -- but he did showcase encouraging skills in the sample. Burrows threw four pitches at least 10 percent of the time, highlighted by a strong slider and changeup. He also pumped his fastball in at 95.5 mph, a combination that led to a 16.7 K-BB%. Burrow surrendered a bit more hard contact than is desirable, though a 41 percent groundball rate helped him limit his HR/9 to a palatable 1.22. Even with Pittsburgh boasting a deep set of starting pitchers, Burrows should have the chance to start the 2026 season in the rotation. He likely doesn't have more upside than what he displayed in 2025, but his raw totals should increase as he'll be relied upon to provide more innings another year removed from surgery.
