2026 Fantasy Outlook
Nunez narrowly missed the Opening Day roster despite a solid spring, instead beginning the year at Triple-A Rochester before an April call-up to cover for an injured CJ Abrams. He received regular playing time early, then shifted to a bench role once Abrams returned and was sent back to the minors in early June. His first stint was light on offense, though he contributed seven steals in limited action. Recalled again in late August, Nunez initially played sparingly before starting regularly over the season's final weeks. The results were far better, as he posted a .282/.326/.590 line with four homers and two steals across 16 games. That late push, combined with his defensive versatility across the middle infield and center field, gives him a chance to stick as a utility option. Power is not a major part of his game, but his speed could carry value with consistent opportunities. Read Past Outlooks
