2026 Projections
2026 Fantasy Outlook
Varland excelled in his transition to a full-time relief role in 2025, posting a respectable 2.97 ERA (3.15 FIP), 1.20 WHIP and 75:22 K:BB over 72.2 regular-season innings between the Blue Jays and Twins. Pitching in shorter stints, the right-hander added velocity on his four-seamer - he threw it 98.1 mph on average - and added more knuckle curves, tossing it 38 percent of the time. Varland still threw the occasional slider, sinker and changeup, but he relied heavily on his two primary offerings. His curve, in particular, induced more whiffs and ground balls whenever opposing hitters did make contact. Varland established new career-highs with a 13.5 percent swinging strike rate, 25.3 percent K-rate and 52.6 ground ball percentage. Given the 28-year-old has a career 5.18 ERA over 23 starts at the major-league level, it does not appear the Blue Jays have interest in giving Varland another chance to start anytime soon. He's slated to begin the 2026 campaign in a setup role. Read Past Outlooks
