2026 Projections
2026 Fantasy Outlook
Mena opened the 2025 season in Triple-A but made the most of his three big-league appearances, allowing only one run on three hits and three walks while striking out six across 6.2 innings, earning a win and a hold in the process. Those kinds of outings had him on the inside track to earning a permanent spot on the Diamondbacks' major-league roster, but those aspirations vanished after he suffered a teres major strain in his right shoulder. He landed on the 60-day IL in mid-June and has yet to be cleared to throw, which puts his availability for spring training and the start of the 2026 season in jeopardy. Mena's control when healthy is a concern, but it's hard to ignore his K-BB rate (18.8 percent) in the minors and his whiff rate (30.4 percent) in the majors in 2025, albeit with a small sample size for the latter. Depending on how his recovery goes, Mena could sneak his way back onto the major-league roster in 2026, giving him fantasy value for strikeouts for those who have the space to hold onto him while on a potential rehab assignment.
