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 2025.
Collects first save
Funderburk walked one and hit one batter while not allowing a hit or a run in two-thirds of an inning to earn the save in Wednesday's 8-6 win over the Tigers.
Analysis
Funderburk made things interesting, but he managed to get the job done for his first save of the season. The Twins utilized Justin Topa and Cole Sands earlier in the contest, and Taylor Rogers may have been unavailable after pitching three times in the previous four days, leaving the bullpen short staffed. This was a fifth straight scoreless outing for Funderburk, who has pitched three hitless innings while issuing four walks in that span. He has a 3.18 ERA and 6:6 K:BB over 5.2 innings while adding a 1-1 record and three holds so far in 2026. While he may continue to see some high-leverage work, his early performance suggests his pitching will cause some stress. Funderburk is the fourth Twins pitcher to log a save this season, leaving no clarity to who will handle the bulk of the closing duties.

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.
