Henry Owens

Henry Owens is expected to start the 2017 season in the rotation at Triple-A Pawtucket and will be one of the first names considered as a depth starter for Boston.

Fantasy Impact

Owens was once considered the top pitching prospect for Boston but has struggled over the past couple of seasons. In five starts for the Red Sox, Owen finished with 6.95 ERA and walked 20 batters in 22 innings. The team will want Owens to get his mechanics right in the minors this year and may get a chance to get a call-up if injuries occur to the staff. For now Owens is only worth owning in Dynasty formats.

Henry Owens gave up two runs on four hits and two walks with six strikeouts over just 4.2 innings in Thursday's loss at Yankee Stadium.

Fantasy Impact

Owens has been considered one of the Red Sox top pitching prospects but has really struggled at the major league level. Over four starts with Boston, the lefty has a 7.79 ERA, 2.13 WHIP, and 18 walks over 17.2 innings.

Henry Owens was recalled from Triple-A Pawtucket on Friday, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

Fantasy Impact

Owens has really struggled in his appearances in the majors this season. He has made four starts over a couple of different call-ups and accumulated a 7.79 ERA, 2.13 WHIP, and more walks (18) than strikeouts (15). He will be added to the roster for pitching depth and will more than likely not be asked to pitch in any high leverage situations.

Henry Owens was crushed in Sunday's 10-5 loss to the Tigers, yielding eight runs on six hits over five innings. Owens struck out six on the afternoon. He also walked five.

Fantasy Impact

Owens who is considered one of Boston's top pitching prospects was called up from the minors for a spot start on Sunday. He did not fare well and continues to struggle at the major league level. Owens has issues with his control and in four starts with Boston this season he is 0-1 with a 7.79 ERA and 2.13 WHIP with 18 walks and 15 strikeouts over 17 innings pitched.

Henry Owens allowed one run on five hits and three walks while striking out six in 5.2 innings for Triple-A Pawtucket on Monday.

Fantasy Impact

Owens has been working on his mechanics since being sent down to Triple-A after struggling in the big leagues with the Red Sox. He has pitched better since being sent down as Monday was the sixth time in nine starts that Owens has allowed one run or fewer. If he can maintain his control, Owens should be back in Boston at some point this season.
