Yordan Alvarez

Coming off four straight 30-homer campaigns, Alvarez was limited to 48 games last season due to a hand fracture and ankle sprain. The veteran slugger certainly wasn't a stranger to injuries prior to 2025, but he still averaged 135 regular-season games per year and was consistently one of the best hitters in MLB. Even when available in 2025, Alvarez's performance was underwhelming, as he finished with a career-worst .797 OPS and just six home runs. However, he still showcased his elite plate discipline with a 14.5 percent walk rate and 16.6 percent strikeout rate. The skills are clearly still there as Alvarez enters his age-29 season, but durability remains a concern. His ADP in 2026 will likely end up being a bit of a discount if he's able to stay healthy, and most fantasy managers will probably be willing to take the risk given Alvarez's elite track record.
