2026 review

Kendry Rojas was a bullpen arm who missed bats but couldn't find the plate: a 26.2 K% and a 16.9 BB% over 130 BF that was the 4th highest of 517 pitchers with 100+ BF, while his 27.4 Hard% over 73 BBE was the 47th lowest of that pool. Across 12 games and 4 GS for MIN he ran a 3.34 ERA and 1.52 WHIP in 29.2 IP, with 22 BB and 34 SO, going 1-1 with 1 HLD. He was optioned Mar 9, recalled Apr 21, optioned again Apr 24, then recalled May 10 before left elbow inflammation put him on the 15-day IL May 29 retroactive to May 26; a rehab assignment Jun 17 led to activation Jun 21, 26 regular-season days missed. He was optioned Jun 24, recalled Jul 9 and optioned again Aug 4. His ERA was 1.26 in 14.1 IP before that stint and 5.28 in 15.1 IP after he returned. Drafted at NFBC ADP rank 768, he finished 710th of 1472 in the TDK LABS 5x5 value rank, 424th of 811 pitchers and 319th of 575 relievers. The TDK LABS card had him in mid-May as a lefty bullpen replacement earning his first MLB win in long relief, and by early August it had him in mop-up work with no clear save path.
