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.
Posts another scoreless start
Teng (3-3) notched the victory over the Cubs on Saturday, allowing two hits and walking three batters while striking out six over six scoreless innings.
Analysis
Teng tossed a season-high 89 pitches (56 strikes) while completing six frames for the first time as a major leaguer. The right-hander also recorded his second straight win and has now thrown 11 scoreless innings while allowing just four hits and registering a 13:7 K:BB over his past two starts. Teng has moved into Houston's six-man rotation this month and has gradually increased his pitch count with the aim of remaining a starter long term. He's tentatively stated to next take the mound at home versus Milwaukee.
