Andrés Muñoz Fantasy Stats

Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Andres Munoz (knee) was placed on the 15-day Injured List on Friday, Ryan Divish reports. Munoz hasn't pitched since Sunday and now goes to the shelf due to right knee inflammation. His inconsistent 2026 season will now come to an end with a few games left in the regular season. He'll finish the season with a 4.24 ERA, 1.22 WHIP, and an 89/24 K/BB ratio with 28 saves across 57.2 innings of work. The expectation is that Jose A. Ferrer and Seranthony Dominguez will work in save situations over the final few days of the regular season. Fantasy managers should expect Munoz to be back in the closer role and fully healthy for the start of next season.

Seattle Mariners closer Andres Munoz (knee) "should be ok" and could be available to his team on Tuesday night after undergoing an MRI on his injured knee, per Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710. Munoz was pulled from his most recent appearance on Sunday after tweaking his right knee, but he appears to have avoided serious injury. It's been a disappointing year overall for the 27-year-old, who has recorded a 4.24 ERA, 1.22 WHIP, 89 strikeouts, and 28 saves across 57 1/3 innings (61 games). Munoz has struggled with home runs (1.41 HR/9) and has blown a career-high 10 saves. However, the hard-throwing right-hander is still averaging 99.7 miles per hour on his fastball and has logged an elite 37.1% strikeout rate. Heading into 2027, Munoz could be an excellent buy-low candidate for fantasy managers.

Seattle Mariners closer Andres Munoz (knee) tweaked his right knee during his team's 2-1 win over the Colorado Rockies on Sunday and will undergo imaging on Monday, per Ryan Divish of the Seattle Times. Munoz allowed a hit, a walk, and an earned run across 1/3 of an inning before being removed from the game. It's been a disappointing year for Munoz, who has pitched to a 4.24 ERA and 1.23 WHIP with 10 blown saves across 57 1/3 innings (61 games). Munoz's underlying metrics suggest he's pitched better than his results, as he's logged an outstanding 37.6% strikeout rate and a 3.06 FIP. However, Munoz has allowed an elevated batting average on balls in play (.319) and HR/9 (1.41), and could now be looking at missed time. If Munoz is sidelined, Mariners left-hander Jose A. Ferrer and right-hander Seranthony Dominguez could both see save opportunities for Seattle.

Seattle Mariners closer Andres Munoz has had a down year in 2026, recording a 4.25 ERA and a 1.18 WHIP with 86 strikeouts across 55 innings (58 games). Munoz's underlying numbers remain very strong, as he's averaged 99.7 miles per hour on his fastball and has posted an elite 37.4% strikeout rate. However, the 27-year-old's HR/9 has skyrocketed to 1.31, and he's blown a career-worst 10 saves. Between his issues with command (10% walk rate) and his penchant for giving up the long ball, Munoz has been prone to blow-up outings in 2026. His most recent appearance on Sunday was one such outing, as he allowed two earned runs across 2/3 of an inning to take the loss against the Athletics. Munoz remains a must-start closer for fantasy managers, but he never quite discovered his peak form this season.

Seattle Mariners right-hander Andres Munoz has built positive momentum entering the second half of the season after overcoming a difficult start. Over his last 30 appearances, Munoz has posted a 2.86 ERA and a 1.09 WHIP, looking much more like the All-Star reliever fantasy managers saw in 2024 and 2025. His season numbers have improved to a 3.96 ERA and a 1.21 WHIP, putting him in position for a strong second half. Munoz has consistently shown the ability to dominate hitters with his elite arsenal, and his recent stretch suggests he is returning to that level. Fantasy managers should remain confident in the 27-year-old as a high-upside reliever for the remainder of the season.

Mariners right-hander Andres Munoz delivered a clean inning of work on Tuesday to pick up his 11th save of the season, working around a hit and striking out one. The 27-year-old has struggled recently, posting a 9.53 ERA across his last seven appearances and blowing two save opportunities during that stretch. His season numbers now sit at a 5.68 ERA, 1.42 WHIP, and 38 strikeouts across 25 1/3 innings. The strikeout ability and electric arsenal that made Munoz a dominant ninth-inning option remain intact, but consistency will be key moving forward. The closer role is still his to lose, and fantasy managers should continue to monitor the right-hander closely.

Seattle Mariners right-handed closer Andres Munoz (back) is fine and good to go for Tuesday's series opener at T-Mobile Park versus the Baltimore Orioles, according to Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times. The Mariners pulled Munoz from his outing on Sunday against the Washington Nationals with back tightness, but after a scheduled day off on Monday, he's ready to go for the series opener in Seattle on Tuesday. The 27-year-old Mexican reliever has had his fair share of struggles in 2026 in his seventh year in the big leagues after back-to-back All-Star campaigns, but he's presently in no real danger of being demoted from the closer's role by manager Dan Wilson. In his 27 appearances out of the bullpen, Munoz is 3-4 with a career-worst 5.92 ERA (3.68 FIP), 1.44 WHIP, 10 saves, and a 37:11 K:BB in 24 1/3 innings pitched. He will have a long leash after saving a career-high 38 games for the M's in 2025. Fantasy managers speculating on saves and stashing setup men should have their eyes on lefty Jose A. Ferrer if Munoz continues to struggle or goes down with an injury.

Seattle Mariners right-handed closer Andres Munoz (back) was pulled from Sunday's game early against the Washington Nationals with lower-back tightness, according to Daniel Kramer of MLB.com. The Mariners wanted Munoz to get some work in a 7-1 ballgame since he hadn't pitched in almost a week, and he exited after allowing both of the runners he faced to reach base. It's unclear how serious Munoz's back injury is, but for now, we'll consider him day-to-day. The 27-year-old Mexican hurler is a two-time All-Star and has 88 saves in his career, but he hasn't been consistent in 2026 and is now injured. Going into Sunday's appearance, Munoz had a career-worst 5.18 ERA (3.56 FIP), 1.36 WHIP, 10 saves, 37 strikeouts, and 10 walks in 24 1/3 innings pitched. Nobody should be outright dropping Munoz, even if he lands on the injured list, but Jose A. Ferrer is certainly a speculative stash candidate in case Munoz misses extended time.

Seattle Mariners right-handed closer Andres Munoz has not had the kind of year so far that he was hoping for, and after blowing three of his last four save chances, fantasy managers have been wondering whether he's on the verge of a bullpen demotion. After blowing his fifth save of the year and losing his fourth game in Sunday's 5-4 defeat at the hands of the Detroit Tigers, Munoz bounced back the very next day with his 10th save of the season in Monday's 6-3 win over the Baltimore Orioles at Camden Yards. The 27-year-old Mexican hurler didn't allow a hit or a run in his inning of work while walking one and striking out two. It wasn't exactly easy, as he needed 20 pitches to close things out, but it's a step in the right direction after his recent rough patch. Munoz now has a 5.18 ERA, 1.36 WHIP, and 37:10 K:BB in 24 1/3 innings pitched. He's been a bit unlucky this year, and it doesn't appear that manager Dan Wilson is ready to go in another direction just yet.

Seattle Mariners right-handed closer Andres Munoz blew his fifth save of the season and was handed his fourth loss on Sunday when he allowed two earned runs on one hit while walking two in the 5-4 loss in Detroit to the Tigers in two-thirds of an inning. The 27-year-old Mexican reliever has not been himself this year and is now 3-4 in 2026 with a 5.40 ERA (3.62 FIP), a 1.37 WHIP, nine saves, 35 strikeouts, and nine walks in 23 1/3 innings pitched out of the bullpen. The two-time All-Star (in 2024 and 2025) has struggled recently, allowing four earned runs on seven hits (one homer) while walking two and striking out five. In that span, he has one loss, one save, and three blown saves. Fantasy managers who have Munoz on their rosters should be worried. If he continues to struggle in the ninth-inning role for the M's, he could be demoted in favor of either Matt Brash or Jose A. Ferrer. The silver lining is that Munoz's underlying metrics show that he's been a bit unlucky, and he still has an elite 33.7% strikeout rate.
