Jack Kochanowicz Fantasy Stats

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Jack Kochanowicz was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake on Thursday. Kochanowicz will head to the minors after getting crushed for 10 earned runs over 3.1 innings during Wednesday's loss to the Texas Rangers. It has been a disaster of a season for Kochanowicz who holds a 6.81 ERA and 1.75 WHIP across 111.0 innings with the Angels this season. Clearly, he still has things to work out in the minor leagues, but Kochanowicz does have promising upside. In a corresponding move, left-hander Tyler Anderson was reinstated off the paternity list. Anderson is scheduled to take the ball against the Houston Astros on Friday.

Los Angeles Angels right-hander Jack Kochanowicz will start for the Angels on Wednesday against the Texas Rangers with Tyler Anderson (paternity) on the paternity list, Sam Blum of the Athletic reports. Kochanowicz last appeared for the Angels on August 10 and allowed six earned runs in three innings against the Detroit Tigers. For the season, the 24-year-old has struggled across the board, pitching to the tune of a 6.19 ERA, 1.69 WHIP, and a 14.5 percent strikeout rate (fourth percentile). The Rangers' bats have been solid of late, so fantasy managers who are looking for a streamer on Wednesday will likely want to search for other options.

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Jack Kochanowicz was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday night, per Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register. Kochanowicz was sent down earlier in the year after allowing eight earned runs to the Texas Rangers on July 10, but he was recalled by Los Angeles after just one minor league start. The overall big-league stat line for Kochanowicz this year is not pretty. In 107 2/3 innings (22 starts), the 24-year-old is 3-10 with a 6.19 ERA, 1.69 WHIP, and an abominable 14.5% strikeout rate. The team has yet to announce who will be taking Kochanowicz's spot on the major-league roster.

Los Angeles Angels right-hander Jack Kochanowicz is scheduled to start the series opener against the Rangers on Monday. Kochanowicz was optioned to Triple-A on July 11 and made one strong start, allowing no earned runs on three hits with four strikeouts over five innings. The 24-year-old has struggled in the majors this season, posting a 6.03 ERA, 1.63 WHIP, and 3-9 record in 19 appearances. This is his second year with the Angels, and he will try to carry momentum from his recent Triple-A outing into a more effective showing on Monday.

The Los Angeles Angels made a notable change in their rotation Friday, optioning right-hander Jack Kochanowicz to Triple-A Salt Lake. The team recalled left-handed reliever Jake Eder in a corresponding move. The Angels have remarkably used the same five starters all year, but they've seen enough of Kochanowicz for the time being. He toed the rubber Thursday and yielded eight earned runs over 2 2/3 innings in a loss to Texas. That outing capped off a brutal first half of the season for the 6-foot-7 Kochanowicz, who's 3-9 with a 6.03 ERA, 1.63 WHIP, and 65:45 K:BB across 94 frames (19 starts). Kochanowicz easily ranks last among qualified starters in ERA. There's no word on who will take over for the 24-year-old in the Halos' rotation. The Angels won't need a fifth starter again until July 22, which gives them time to find an alternative.

Los Angeles Angels right-hander Jack Kochanowicz will be the team's No. 5 starting pitcher to open the 2025 regular season, according to manager Ron Washington. Left-hander Reid Detmers will begin the year in the bullpen. Kochanowicz, a former third-rounder in 2019, impressed enough during spring training by posting a 2.92 ERA and 1.22 WHIP with seven strikeouts and four walks in 12 1/3 innings over his four starts to beat out Detmers, who is the more experienced arm. It's not great news for fantasy, as the 6-foot-7 Kochanowicz lacks strikeout upside and is more of a ground-ball pitcher thanks to his sinker. In his first 11 starts in his MLB debut a year ago, Kochanowicz had an ERA just under 4.00 and a 1.19 WHIP, but he struck out only 25 and walked 10 in 65 1/3 innings of work. He'll only be worth a look as an innings-eater in AL-only leagues.

Los Angeles Angels pitcher Jack Kochanowicz is making his case for the fifth rotation spot for the team, now with a 1.00 ERA, 0.67 WHIP, and a 1:6 BB:K through nine Cactus League innings. The 6-foot-7 righty made his MLB debut last season, posting a 3.99 ERA and 1.19 WHIP over 11 starts, but the strikeouts lagged (9.4 percent). With a SIERA of 4.56 after 2024 was over and the lack of strikeouts that was a trend even in the minors as well (19.0 percent K% in 66 stars), it's hard to envision things getting drastically better for the 24-year-old in 2025. Nevertheless, the former third-round draft pick could have some value in AL-only leagues were he to win the job out of camp, so monitor this situation for any developments if you play in that format.

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Jack Kochanowicz (illness) tossed three shutout frames in his spring debut on Tuesday. Kochanowicz was scratched from his previous outing due to an illness but was able to return shortly after. He looked sharp in his debut, which is a promising sign. He allowed three hits and tallied just one punchout. Last season, Kochanowicz made his MLB debut. Across his first 11 starts (65 1/3 innings), the right-handed pitcher held a 3.99 ERA with a 1.19 WHIP. He tallied 25 strikeouts but showed elite command as he served up walks at a 3.8 percent rate. He also generated groundballs at a high 56.5 percent rate which helped counter his low strikeout rate. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor Kochanowicz's progression during camp as he is currently competing for a role in the back-end of the Los Angeles rotation.

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Jack Kochanowicz (illness) is expected to take the mound for Tuesday's spring training contest against the Cleveland Guardians. He will throw a simulated game on Friday, but if all goes well then he'll be back on the mound early next week. The right-hander was scratched from his start on Thursday due to an illness, but it doesn't sound like something that is going to linger. Kochanowicz looked decent during his time with the big league club last season. He's competing for the fifth spot in the starting rotation to begin the season. If he gets it, Kochanowicz could be a deep league option to begin the 2025 campaign.

Los Angeles Angels right-hander Jack Kochanowicz (illness) was scratched from his scheduled Cactus League start on Thursday against the Chicago Cubs due to an illness. With Kochanowicz under the weather, pitching prospect Caden Dana will make the start instead. Kochanowicz will hopefully be feeling good enough in a few days to make his second start of spring training as he competes for the final spot in the Angels' starting rotation to begin the 2025 regular season. The former third-round pick in 2019 made his big-league debut in 2024 and went 2-6 with a 3.99 ERA (4.62 FIP) and 1.19 WHIP with 25 strikeouts and 10 walks in 65 1/3 innings over his 11 starts. The 24-year-old had a miserable 9.4 percent walk rate, although his ground-ball tendencies helped him keep his ERA barely under 4.00. Even if he wins a rotation spot, which is unlikely, he'll have very little fantasy upside.
