2026 Projections
2026 Fantasy Outlook
Kirby was one of the first big names to fall last spring, as it was revealed March 7 that he had been shut down from throwing due to right shoulder inflammation. The injury kept him out until late May, and Kirby didn't quite perform up to his usual standards following his return, posting a 4.21 ERA and 1.19 WHIP over 126 regular-season innings (career 3.58 ERA, 1.11 WHIP). He added a 6.00 ERA over 18 postseason innings for Seattle. The right-hander maintained his usual velocity following his return and even posted a career-high strikeout rate of 26.1% last season. The estimators point to Kirby being largely the same pitcher even with some giveback in his walk rate from otherworldly to still great at 5.5%. Assuming a normal offseason, Kirby should not face any workload restrictions in 2026. The park is extremely favorable, which helps Kirby's case for SP2 consideration. Read Past Outlooks
