Rest-of-Season Projections
Signed a one-year contract with the Angels in March of 2026.
Making first start Monday
Johnson is slated to make his first MLB start in Monday's game against the Astros in Houston, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Analysis
Last spring, Johnson -- a second-round pick in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft -- bypassed a minor-league assignment and began his professional career as a member of the Angels bullpen, but he struggled over his 14 appearances before being optioned to High-A Tri-City in early May. He transitioned back into a starting role at Tri-City and finished with a 1.88 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 65:10 K:BB in 57.1 innings, allowing him to enter his second big-league camp with some momentum. Sporting an improved changeup this spring, Johnson collected a 3.05 ERA and 20.5 K-BB% over 20.2 innings in the Cactus League to secure a spot in the Los Angeles rotation. The 23-year-old's lack of track record at the big-league level makes it difficult to include him in fantasy lineups with much confidence early on, but his strong finish to 2025 and his outstanding spring should at least be enough for managers to keep him on their radars.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Developing as starter
Johnson was a breakout prospect in the Angels organization during the 2025 season, according to Jonathan Mayo, Jim Callis and Sam Dykstra of MLB.com.
Analysis
Johnson was the 74th overall pick in the 2024 MLB Draft, and even though he made the Angels' roster on Opening Day as a reliever, he was later sent down to High-A to develop as a starter. That's turning out to be an excellent move by the organization, as he posted a 1.88 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 9.8 K/9 rate across 12 regular-season starts. He's the No. 2 prospect in the Angels organization, according to MLB.com.
