Top 100 Starting Pitchers For 2026 Fantasy Baseball: 4/6 Week 3 Rankings

Key Points:

• The List is a weekly ranking of the top 100 starting pitchers in baseball, focused on a 5×5, 12-team, head-to-head format, with injured pitchers removed from the main list and placed in a separate injury table for valuation purposes.
• The rankings prioritize upside in the back half, encouraging managers to chase ceiling rather than floor, and limit player labels to two for clarity, with detailed notes provided to explain ranking changes and player evaluations.
• Garrett Crochet (BOS), Paul Skenes (PIT), and Tarik Skubal (DET) are ranked as the top three aces, with significant attention paid to injury risks and recent performance trends across all tiers.
• The list includes a "Loose Minor League SPs to Consider Stashing" table highlighting potential impact pitchers expected to be called up before the All-Star break, alongside a daily SP Roundup and a comprehensive 75,000+ word Top 400 Starting Pitchers guide for deeper analysis.
• Notable injured pitchers removed from the list include Hunter Brown, Cade Horton, Matthew Boyd, Cody Ponce, and Zach Eflin, while no injured pitchers were added this week; the rankings reflect early season performances and adjust frequently, especially in the waiver wire range.
