2026 Fantasy Outlook
Saalfrank was reinstated from the ineligible list last June after serving a one-year suspension for violating the MLB's gambling policy. Since he was unable to pitch in any games during his suspension, the 28-year old southpaw spent about a month in the minors before Arizona summoned him to its big-league bullpen. Before you get too excited about Saalfrank's surface stats from 2025, take a quick look under the hood. Among relievers with 20-plus innings last year, Saalfrank had one of the largest discrepancies between ERA (1.24) and xFIP (4.61), while his 8.0 K-BB percentage ranked 277th out of 325. Still, he managed to rack up two wins, three saves and five holds across 28 appearances with the D'Backs last season. Saalfrank is currently penciled in for high-leverage work to open 2026, but he still has one minor-league option remaining and is not guaranteed a roster spot coming out of camp. Read Past Outlooks

Analysis
Saalfrank underwent surgery Monday to repair the left labrum in his shoulder and has already been placed on the 60-day injured list. The rehab timeline gives the lefty a chance to be ready for the start of the 2027 season, but it is not a given.
