2026 Fantasy Outlook
After struggling in four relief appearances the previous season, the Giants non-tendered Teng before re-signing him to a minor league deal without a 40-man roster spot. He earned another opportunity by August 1 after posting a 3.67 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 86 strikeouts over 54 innings for Triple-A Sacramento. Teng made eight appearances for San Francisco, including seven starts, but the results did not carry over. He struck out 39 batters in 29.2 innings, yet 17 walks inflated his ratios. Control has long been an issue for Teng, and that problem resurfaced at the major league level. He works with average velocity, sitting around 93 mph with his four-seam fastball and sinker, and complements them with a curveball, slider and changeup. The slider and changeup are his best offerings, and improved control could still allow Teng to settle into a relief role. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a one-year, $786,700 contract with the Astros in March of 2026.
Struggles again Monday
Teng (3-6) took the loss against Detroit on Monday, allowing five runs on six hits and two walks while striking out nine batters over 3.1 innings.
Analysis
It's not often that a starter has dominant swing-and-miss stuff and still gets crushed, but that's exactly what happened to Teng on Monday. The right-hander racked up 14 whiffs on 81 pitches, and nine of the 10 outs he recorded came on strikeouts, but everything else about his line was ugly. Teng served up three long balls, hit two batters and logged his shortest start since becoming fully stretched out as part of the rotation. He seemed to be settling in as a starter over the second half of May, posting a 1.69 ERA and 1.13 WHIP over his final three starts of that month. However, the wheels have fallen off since the calendar turned to June. In three starts this month, Teng has allowed a whopping 17 runs (14 earned) across 12.1 frames.
