2026 Projections
2026 Fantasy Outlook
After missing the entire 2024 campaign following UCL reconstruction with an internal brace, Stephenson was limited to just 12 appearances for the Angels last season because of more arm issues. Though the sample size was small, the right-hander continued throwing the cutter he implemented a few years ago while with the Rays organization. Stephenson finished 2025 on the injured list with right elbow inflammation, and it's unclear whether he's been able to have a normal offseason throwing program. If healthy for 2026, Stephenson could get an opportunity to close for Los Angeles, though Ben Joyce (shoulder) is also a candidate for that role. Neither has much experience in the ninth inning - Stephenson has three career saves to Joyce's four - so closing duties could simply come down to whose healthy if the Angels don't sign or trade for a more established closer this offseason.
