Josh Winckowski's steady effort not enough in loss
by Chris Schommer | Red Sox Correspondent | Sun, Aug 11th 7:00am EDT
Josh Winckowski allowed one earned run over three innings against the Astros.
Fantasy Impact:
He gave up two hits, struck out one, and did not issue a walk. Despite a relatively solid performance, Winckowski's outing wasn't enough to secure a win for the Red Sox, who fell 5-4 to Houston. His season ERA slightly increased to 3.42, and his WHIP remains a concern at 1.37, reflecting some ongoing struggles with allowing baserunners. His low strikeout rate of 6.5 K/9 continues to limit his fantasy upside, especially in formats that heavily reward strikeouts. Given his role and performance metrics, Winckowski remains a marginal fantasy option, primarily useful in very deep leagues or as a streaming option in favorable matchups.
