2026 MLB Power Rankings: Who is Each Team’s Early Season Standout Starter?

Vinnie Pasquantino - Tallies two hits Sunday Pasquantino went 2-for-4 with an RBI in Sunday's 6-3 loss against Detroit.

Impact Pasquantino plated the first run of the day for Kansas City with an opposite-field single in the third inning. It has been a difficult start to 2026 for the first baseman, as Sunday's two-hit effort raised his batting average to .200. The 28-year-old owns a .640 OPS with five homers, 19 RBI, 16 runs and a stolen base across 39 contests.

Maikel Garcia - Trio of hits in loss Garcia went 3-for-3 with a double, an RBI, a run scored and a walk in Sunday's 6-3 loss against the Tigers.

Impact Garcia reached base in all four plate appearances Sunday, tallying his fourth three-hit performance of the campaign. Following a breakout 2025 season in which he posted an .800 OPS, the third baseman has continued to produce in 2026. Through 39 games, the 26-year-old is slashing .285/.353/.437 with 12 doubles, a triple, three homers, 16 RBI, 21 runs and four stolen bases while operating exclusively out of the leadoff spot.

Noah Cameron - Lasts four frames in no-decision Cameron did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing three runs on five hits and three walks over four innings against Detroit. He struck out four.

Impact Cameron returned to the mound after being scratched from his previous start Tuesday due to back tightness. The southpaw wasn't overly effective, surrendering three runs in the third inning and lasting just four frames overall. After posting a 2.99 ERA across 138.1 innings (24 starts) as a rookie in 2025, Cameron has struggled to replicate that success in 2026. Through 35.2 innings (seven starts), the 25-year-old owns a 2-2 record, 5.55 ERA and 1.65 WHIP with a 32:14 K:BB and is tentatively next scheduled to pitch Saturday against St. Louis.

Michael Massey - Taking seat Sunday Massey is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

Impact After going 3-for-8 with a home run, two doubles and three RBI while starting the past three games, Massey will hit the bench for the series finale. Nick Loftin will replace Massey at second base and will bat sixth.

Salvador Perez - Receiving evening off Perez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

Impact Perez hasn't started a game behind the plate since May 1 while he's been managing a sore hip, but he's remained in the everyday lineup at designated hitter or first base. He doesn't seem to be dealing with any sort of setback, but Perez will get a break for the series finale after going hitless in 13 at-bats over his last four starts. Carter Jensen will handle DH duties Sunday.

Bobby Witt Jr. - Notches inside-the-park homer Witt went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run against Detroit in a 5-1 win Saturday.

Impact In Witt's first plate appearance, he hit a grounder up the first-base line. The ball gathered steam and went into right field, and it then took a bounce off the side wall. That was enough for Witt to motor all the way home for his second career inside-the-park homer. Of course, it counts just the same as if Witt had slugged the ball over the outfield fence, and he now has five home runs over his past 13 contests after opening the campaign with a 27-game homerless stretch.

Michael Massey - Knocks three-run shot Saturday Massey went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 5-1 victory versus the Tigers.

Impact Massey's three-run shot in the fourth frame gave the Royals a 5-0 lead. It was the infielder's second long ball over his past four games after he went deep just once across his first 23 contests of the campaign. Massey isn't a big power guy, but he did hit a combined 29 home runs over the 2023 and 2024 regular seasons, so he may have more pop in his bat than the three long balls he tallied across 277 plate appearances last year.

Michael Wacha - Excels again Saturday Wacha (4-2) earned the win over Detroit on Saturday, tossing seven scoreless innings during which he gave up two hits and walked two batters while striking out six.

Impact Wacha faced little resistance from the Tigers, who managed just two hits against him. The veteran righty tossed 54 of 89 pitches for strikes and tallied six punchouts despite inducing only four whiffs. Wacha registered his second straight quality start and sixth overall through eight outings on the season. As usual, he hasn't been racking up punchouts with a modest 42 through 51.1 frames overall, but Wacha has otherwise been a valuable fantasy asset given his 2.63 ERA and 0.99 WHIP, both of which rank within the top 20 among qualified pitchers.
