Didier Fuentes

20-Year-Old PitcherRP
Atlanta Braves
2026 Fantasy Outlook
Fuentes missed the last six weeks of 2025 with shoulder inflammation and gave up 20 earned runs over 13 innings in the majors, but he could still have a productive 2026 campaign if healthy. Fuentes should be graded on a curve, given that he was the youngest player to play in the majors last year by eight months and doesn't turn 21 until mid June. Fuentes' fastball got rocked by big leaguers because he wasn't locating it up in the zone, but that mid-90s offering (touches 99 mph) has strong characteristics and is easily his best pitch. Over Fuentes' final eight starts in the minors, stretching from May to August, he logged a 3.22 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 46:8 K:BB in 36.1 innings. Five of those starts came at Triple-A, where Fuentes was the youngest pitcher to throw 20-plus innings. Atlanta has pushed Fuentes aggressively for a reason, but he's still developing, particularly his fastball command and secondary offerings. Assuming he's healthy, Fuentes should open the year at Triple-A and will be a big-league rotation option this summer. Read Past Outlooks

Earns win in relief Friday
PAtlanta Braves
May 2, 2026
Fuentes (1-0) earned the win in relief Friday against the Rockies after tossing a scoreless eighth inning. He did not record a walk or a strikeout.
Analysis
Fuentes allowed a baserunner when he plunked Tyler Freeman, but that would be the only threat in an inning in which he had some issues finding the strike zone -- he tossed only eight of his 15 pitches for strikes. Fuentes has looked good overall since returning from Triple-A Gwinnett, posting back-to-back scoreless and hitless appearances with a 1:1 K:BB through three frames.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Chance for call-up?
PAtlanta Braves
April 13, 2026
Fuentes will be eligible to be recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett this week and could soon get a look in Atlanta's rotation after Martin Perez was designated for assignment Sunday, reports Lindsay Crosby of BravesToday.com.
Analysis
The right-hander opened the season in Atlanta's bullpen and was excellent in his season debut with one run allowed over four innings of long relief, but he was optioned to Gwinnett the following day. Fuentes has stayed stretched out at Triple-A and been excellent through his first two starts, striking out 15 across 9.2 scoreless frames. Atlanta doesn't need a fifth starter until next week, at which point Fuentes could get a look in the big-league rotation.
