Drew Hutchison Fantasy Stats

The Philadelphia Phillies signed free-agent right-hander Drew Hutchison to a minor-league deal on Thursday, and he will report to Triple-A Lehigh Valley. Before Hutchison was released by the Toronto Blue Jays last week, he posted a 5.66 ERA, 1.80 WHIP, 29 walks and 31 strikeouts in nine starts (35 innings) for Triple-A Buffalo. The 32-year-old veteran spent part of the 2018 season with the Phillies, but he hasn't seen major-league action since 2022 with the Detroit Tigers, when he went 3-9 with a 4.53 ERA (4.93 FIP), 1.48 WHIP, 42 walks and 68 K's in 28 appearances (18 starts) over 105 1/3 frames. Hutchison will strictly serve as organizational depth. He has a 4.89 career ERA (4.53 FIP), 1.42 WHIP and 19.2% strikeout rate in 587 innings over 135 outings (99 starts) in seven big-league seasons.

The Detroit Tigers designated right-hander Drew Hutchison for assignment on Tuesday and claimed shortstop Jermaine Palacios from the Minnesota Twins in a corresponding move. Hutchison went 3-9 this year for the Tigers with a 4.53 ERA (4.93 FIP), a 1.48 WHIP, 68 strikeouts and 42 walks in 105 1/3 innings over his 28 appearances (18 starts). Palacios made his major-league debut this year in Minnesota and played in 30 games, going 10-for-70 (.143) with two home runs, six RBI and eight runs scored in 77 plate appearances.

Detroit Tigers pitcher Drew Hutchison had his contract selected by the team on Tuesday. The veteran hurler is starting for the team on Tuesday against the Cleveland Guardians. He's made 12 appearances for Detroit this season, two of which were starts. Overall, he's pitched to a 4.81 ERA, a 4.76 FIP, 17 strikeouts, and 16 walks in 24.1 innings for the Tigers. Fantasy managers are probably best off looking elsewhere for streaming options. Detroit designated left-handed reliever Sam Howard for assignment to make room on the 40-man roster for Hutchison.

Detroit Tigers right-hander Drew Hutchison had his contract purchased from the minor leagues, and he will start on Tuesday against the Chicago White Sox. The Tigers have optioned Derek Hill and designated Jacob Barnes for assignment in corresponding moves. Hutchison will be making his first start for the Tigers this year after allowing eight earned runs on 12 hits while walking 12 and striking out 15 in 15 2/3 innings over 10 relief appearances in Detroit. The 31-year-old hasn't gone more than three innings in any of his outings in the majors or minors this year, so he'll be a poor choice as a deep sleeper for DFS managers. Hutchison has been better for Triple-A Toledo, posting a 2.79 ERA and 0.93 WHIP with 13 K's and three walks in 9 2/3 innings over five outings (two starts).

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Drew Hutchison is continuing to have a rough 2018. Hutchison managed to go just four innings Friday, surrendering four earned runs, with one home run on six hits and one walk. Hutchison has struggled against pitchers of both hands this season, but he has especially struggled against right-handed hitters. So far this season Hutchison is surrendering 1.90 HR/9 against all hitters, and is walking 5.48 batters per nine. At this point Hutchison has next-to-no fantasy value, even in deep leagues such as AL-only.

Baltimore Orioles catcher Austin Wynns went 2-for-3 with a single and a three-run home run in Sunday's 9-6 win over the Rangers. Wynns' third HR of the season came off a second-inning Drew Hutchison delivery, which he took deep into the left-center field seats. Wynns is now batting .275 with six RBI in 43 plate appearances this season. While the numbers are nice, the sample size is small, so fantasy owners should wait to see if he can maintain this level of production before considering him for their teams.

Free agent starting pitcher Drew Hutchison has signed a contract with the Texas Rangers. Hutchison will join the team Sunday and start the series finale against Baltimore. Hutchison started the season with the Philadelphia Phillies in a relief role, throwing 21 1/3 innings, across 11 outings, with a 4.64 ERA and 19 strikeouts. He has also spent time with the Los Angeles Dodgers at Triple-A, making seven starts and two relief appearances. Hutchison had a 2.64 ERA at Triple-A for the Dodgers, striking out 40 in 42 innings. Using Hutchison in fantasy Sunday would be a massive gamble, but getting to face a terrible Orioles lineup could make him at least a little interesting in deeper leagues.

After Nick Pivetta was knocked around by the Washington Nationals on Friday night, the Philadelphia Phillies turned to Drew Hutchison for some stability and length. The 27-year-old made his ninth appearance of the season, which would turn out to be his longest. He would go five innings, allowing just one run on three hits, walking one and striking out five. Hutchison would toss 63 pitches, saving the Phillies bullpen from a catastrophe after the starter went just one inning. The performance dropped his season ERA to 2.76 as he once again showcased just how valuable he can be in certain situations.

After signing a minor league contract and reporting to Phillies camp this Spring Training, Drew Hutchison has earned a spot on the roster. The club made room for him today, designating veteran catcher Cameron Rupp for assignment. Hutchison, 27, has made six appearances for the Phillies this spring, starting three games and going 2-0 with a 2.75 ERA. He was last in the majors two seasons ago with the Pittsburgh Pirates before spending 2017 in the minor leagues. Hutchison seems like an ideal spot starter and long reliever for the Phillies, who already have a starting rotation set up.

Free-agent starting pitcher Drew Hutchison signed to a minor league contract with the Philadelphia Phillies, including an invitation to major league spring training. Hutchison spent the entire 2017 season with the Triple-A affiliate of the Pirates, posting a 3.56 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 124/57 K/BB ratio in 159 1/3 innings. The 27-year-old right-hander will function as depth for a Phillies rotation that carries some serious question marks into the 2018 season. He was once a promising young starter with the Blue Jays and made his major league debut at age 21 back in 2012.
