Rest-of-Season Projections
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.
Goes on IL after option rescinded
The Astros rescinded Teng's option and placed him on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with a right knee sprain, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Analysis
Teng had been sent down to Triple-A Sugar Land following Saturday's start versus the Tigers, but it's been determined he suffered an injury before that transaction and will instead hit the injured list. It's unclear how long the right-hander might be sidelined.
