Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Bryan Woo delivered a stellar performance on Saturday, tossing seven innings of one-run ball and earning his second win of the season in a 9-2 drubbing of the Texas Rangers. Woo allowed six hits and a walk while striking out seven. The 25-year-old now owns a stellar 2.84 ERA and 0.95 WHIP through three starts and is a must-start option in fantasy right now. His next start should come next week against the Blue Jays, and fantasy owners should have Woo in their lineups across the board for that one.
Seattle Mariners' young pitcher Bryan Woo was carving up the Athletics on Sunday, and he walked away with his first win of the season after the Mariners defeated the Athletics 2-1. He finished with five strikeouts, three hits allowed, one earned run, and two issued walks in six innings pitched. The only Athletic's hitter that got to him was Tyler Soderstrom, who took him deep in the fourth inning for his third home run of the series. Woo was effective in this one, only throwing 76 pitches in the afternoon in his six innings of work, so he should be fresh for his next start, which is tentatively lined up next weekend on the road to take on the San Francisco Giants. There was a lot of hype surrounding Woo entering the 2025 season, and he certainly backed it up in his first start. Continue to start Woo with confidence moving forward.
Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Bryan Woo tallied six punchouts across 2 1/3 innings of work on Thursday. Woo allowed just one hit and served up one free pass. This is a great sign for the 25-year-old, as an increase in strikeout production could increase his fantasy value significantly. Last season, Woo logged a career-high 121 1/3 innings to the tune of a strong 2.89 ERA and a stellar 0.90 WHIP. He tallied just 101 punchouts but only served up walks at a near-perfect 2.8 percent rate. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his production during camp, as the 25-year-old could be taking his strikeout production to the next level. Woo is an intriguing pick in the middle rounds of drafts and he should significantly improve your WHIP ratio with his strong control and could carry increasing strikeout upside.
Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Bryan Woo had another excellent start on Sunday, pitching seven innings of one-run ball against the San Francisco Giants. Woo allowed just four hits and didn't walk a batter in this one. He also collected seven strikeouts and generated 16 whiffs, 12 of which came on his fastball. When he's been healthy, Woo has been one of the best pitchers in baseball this year, pitching to a stellar 2.05 ERA and 0.81 WHIP. While those ratios will likely increase, Woo should be able to maintain very good numbers based on his ability to generate weak contact. He is a must-start pitcher in fantasy.
Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Bryan Woo turned in a solid start on Thursday, allowing three runs over 6 IP against the Detroit Tigers. Woo allowed five hits and walked one while striking out a season-high seven. It was an encouraging start for Woo, who generated eight whiffs on his fastball and a 32% CSW overall. The 24-year-old has been rock solid when healthy this year, pitching to a 2.27 ERA and 0.88 WHIP. The problem has been the health, as he's had multiple injuries that keep popping up from start to start, making him hard to trust in fantasy. Still, if he can continue performing like he has in his past two starts, he will quickly become a good option.
Seattle Mariners right-hander Bryan Woo threw a gem in his team's 10-2 win over the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday. Woo tossed seven innings of shutout ball while allowing five hits, no walks, and striking out six to earn the win. The 24-year-old's quality start improved his record to 5-1 on the season, to go along with a 2.08 ERA, 0.87 WHIP, and 43 strikeouts over 60 2/3 innings of work. Woo has missed time this season due to two separate stints on the injured list but he appears to be fully healthy and is hitting his stride as the season comes down to the final two months. He should be a solid mid-rotation starting pitcher in fantasy leagues moving forward.
Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Bryan Woo (hamstring) is officially listed as Friday's starter on MLB.com. The right-hander was dealing with a lingering hamstring injury all week after he left his last start early. This was the same injury that caused him to spend a minor stint on the injured list in July. The Cal Poly product has performed very well this season, holding a strong 2.35 ERA, 0.89 WHIP, and a 6:37 BB:K ratio. Under the hood, he sports a near-perfect 2.5% barrel rate and an above-average 34.4% hard-hit rate. Woo should be started in all standard leagues but should be faded in DFS this evening as he will face the high-powered Philadelphia Phillies.
Bryan Woo Exits Early Saturday Due To Hamstring Pain
Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Bryan Woo left Saturday's matchup against the White Sox with a 3-1 lead after throwing just 70 pitches due to some discomfort he felt in his right hamstring, which is the one that put him on the IL last month. Despite the early exit, manager Scott Servais stated that Woo is still expected to make his next start, which would come at home next Friday against the Phillies. Injuries have marred Woo's 2024 campaign, as he's made just 11 starts for Seattle, but when he's been able to pitch, the righty has been effective. The 24-year-old has a 2.35 ERA, 0.89 WHIP, and 6:37 BB:K over 53.2 innings pitched.
The Seattle Mariners reinstated right-hander Bryan Woo (hamstring) from the 15-day injured list on Friday and optioned right-hander Eduard Bazardo to Triple-A Tacoma in a corresponding move. Woo will make the start on Friday versus the division-rival Los Angeles Angels in Anaheim and is a recommended fantasy play despite this being his first start coming off the IL. In his lone minor-league rehab start for High-A Everett on July 6, Woo gave up two runs while walking two and striking out two in 2 2/3 innings (45 pitches). The 24-year-old might not make it too deep into Friday's outing, but the matchup is just too nice to pass up, and he had also gone 3-1 with a 1.77 ERA and 0.69 WHIP with 28 strikeouts and only three walks in his 40 2/3 innings prior to landing on the IL again with his hamstring injury. In his first meeting with the Halos on May 31, Woo went six shutout innings.
Seattle Mariners right-hander Bryan Woo (hamstring) will be activated from the 15-day injured list this weekend to face the division-rival Los Angeles Angels in Anaheim, according to manager Scott Servais. The skipper didn't specify which of the four games that Woo will start, though. Woo's rotation turn comes up on Friday, but the Mariners could re-slot after their off day on Monday. Even though Woo only threw 2 2/3 innings in his only minor-league rehab start last Saturday, the 24-year-old has been excellent when healthy in 2024 and should be considered a must-start this weekend against one of the worst offenses in baseball in the Angels. Woo has been bit by the injury bug multiple times this year, but otherwise he's been outstanding for fantasy managers, going 3-1 with a 1.77 ERA and 0.69 WHIP with 28 K's and only three walks in 40 2/3 innings over eight starts in his second year in the big leagues.
