2026 Fantasy Outlook
Hart made the transition back from the KBO last year, and it didn't go particularly well. Hart split his time between the majors and minors in 2025, finishing with a 5.86 ERA and 37:13 K:BB over 43 regular-season innings covering six starts and 14 relief outings with the big club. The southpaw will compete for an Opening Day roster spot -- perhaps in a swingman role -- but does have minor-league options remaining. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a one-year, $1.2 million contract with the Padres in November of 2025. Contract includes $2.5 million team option ($200,000 buyout) for 2027.
Sent to Triple-A
The Padres optioned Hart to Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday.
Analysis
The left-hander was unable to earn rotation spot to begin the season after a solid showing during spring training, and he was inconsistent as a reliever with a 5.40 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 10:6 K:BB over 16.2 innings. Yuki Matsui (groin) was reinstated from the injured list to take Hart's roster spot.

2025 Fantasy Outlook
Hart last appeared in the majors in 2020, appearing four times (three starts) for Boston in the pandemic season. He spent last season with the NC Dinos in the KBO, compiling 157 innings over 26 starts. He posted an encouraging 2.69 ERA and 1.032 WHIP, with a 28.8 percent strikeout rate and 6.0 percent walk rate. To put things in perspective, the quality of play in the KBO is considered a tad below Double-A, so a 31-year-old hurler should dominate at the level. That said, Erick Fedde parlayed his year in the KBO into a successful return to MLB, though Fedde was better than Hart during their tenure in the majors. Someone will likely take a chance on Hart, at which point he's someone to track. Until then, he's not worth a roster spot, even in deep draft and hold formats.
