Rest-of-Season Projections
2026 Fantasy Outlook
Lin doesn't throw very hard, but he reached Double-A at 19 while putting up an excellent statistical debut season. The Taiwanese lefty logged a 3.72 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and a 117:22 K:BB in 87 innings across Single-A, High-A and Double-A. Lin is best known for his potentially plus command/control, as most public scouting services don't grade any of his pitches as plus. His fastball, changeup and curveball all have at least above-average potential, however, so Lin is on track to be at least a No. 4 or No. 5 starter in the majors. If his fastball starts sitting in the mid-90s or his secondary pitches take a step forward, he could be a mid-rotation starter or better. Lin should split the year between Double-A and Triple-A and is well ahead of schedule. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a contract with the Athletics in June of 2024.
Slated for TJ surgery
Lin is scheduled to undergo Tommy John surgery, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
Analysis
Lin has been out of action at Triple-A since mid-June, and he'll now be forced to miss the rest of the season after deciding to undergo Tommy John surgery. The procedure is likely to keep him out for the vast majority of the 2027 campaign as well.
