2026 Fantasy Outlook
Funderburk could become the primary lefty setup man in the Twins bullpen after seeing significant improvement in the second half of last season. Funderburk had a 2.61 ERA and a 21:8 K:BB ratio in 20.2 innings after the All-Star break. He wasn't dominant against lefties (.680 OPS allowed) but also held his own against right-hand batters (.751 OPS allowed) which could increase his usage. He also generates ground balls (53.3%) but will need to improve his control (3.95 BB/9). Given his improvement in both his second full season and in the later half of last year, he could emerge with a sizeable role in a wide-open bullpen competition. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a one-year contract with the Twins in March of 2026.
Heading to Triple-A
The Twins optioned Funderburk to Triple-A St. Paul on Sunday.
Analysis
Though he's been one of six Twins pitchers to record a save this season and leads the club with six holds, Funderburk will wind up losing his spot in the bullpen as his control continued to slip. He has a 2.81 ERA in 16 innings but a more unsightly 1.38 WHIP and 10:13 K:BB on the season. The Twins recalled left-hander Kendry Rojas from Triple-A to bolster the bullpen.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Funderburk was an unheralded 2018 15th-round draft pick who became a late bloomer in his minor league career and could have an impact in the majors in 2024. Funderburk had a 2.60 ERA and 1.06 WHIP with a 75:21 K:BB across 37 appearances (two starts) at Triple-A last season. He was called up to the majors in late August and had a 0.75 ERA in 12 innings with the Twins. He had the best strikeout rate of his career last season at Triple-A (13.0 K/9) with a strong walk rate. He could stick in the major-league bullpen if he has a strong start to the season.
