Hayden Wesneski

Hayden Wesneski allowed three earned runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out three over six innings in Wednesday's 3-0 loss to the Padres.

Fantasy Impact

Despite this less-than-stellar outing, Wesneski's season numbers remain impressive, boasting a 1.59 ERA and a 0.88 WHIP through his first four starts. His 6.8 K/9 and 4.25 strikeout-to-walk ratio suggest he's been effective at managing contact and controlling the strike zone, although his low strikeout numbers might limit his ceiling in fantasy formats that heavily reward strikeouts. The increase in hits this game could hint at regression, especially considering his low .235 BABIP, indicating some luck in previous outings. Fantasy managers should monitor his next few starts closely for signs of adjustment or continued regression.

Hayden Wesneski delivered a strong performance, tossing 6 1/3 scoreless innings, allowing just three hits and two walks while striking out eight against the Brewers on Friday.

Fantasy Impact

Despite his efforts, the Cubs could not capitalize, losing 3-1. Wesneski's season has been marked by exceptional control and efficiency, as evidenced by his stellar 0.54 ERA and 0.72 WHIP through three starts. His ability to maintain a high strikeout-to-walk ratio (4.67) and a low BABIP (.196) suggests that while some regression might be expected, his underlying skills are solid. Fantasy managers should continue to view Wesneski as a valuable asset, especially in leagues that reward strikeouts and low ERA/WHIP contributions. His consistent performance early in the season indicates he could be a reliable option in most fantasy formats.
