Jake Odorizzi Stats

The Texas Rangers acquired right-hander Jake Odorizzi and cash considerations from the Atlanta Braves on Wednesday in exchange for left-hander Kolby Allard. Odorizzi began the 2022 season with the Houston Astros and was traded to the Braves in August. He finished the year 6-6 with a combined 4.40 ERA (4.28 FIP), a 1.33 WHIP, 86 strikeouts and 35 walks in 106 1/3 total innings over 22 starts. The 32-year-old wasn't as good in Atlanta, going 2-3 with a 5.24 ERA (5.14 FIP), a 1.55 WHIP and 40 strikeouts in 46 1/3 frames over 10 starts. Odorizzi should be guaranteed a rotation spot in Texas to open the 2023 season, but he'll have to pitch much better to be anything more than a back-end fantasy starter in deeper leagues.

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Jake Odorizzi had a start to forget on Friday night against the Philadelphia Phillies, as he surrendered eight earned runs on 10 hits (one homer) while walking three and striking out six in four innings in the 9-1 loss. It was his worst performance since being acquired from the Houston Astros at the trade deadline, and he's now gone 1-3 with a 5.97 ERA (5.31 FIP), a 1.62 WHIP, 33 strikeouts and 14 walks in 37 2/3 innings and eight starts with Atlanta. In three starts in September, Odorizzi has allowed 13 earned runs on 17 hits (two homers) while walking seven and striking out 14. Despite his disappointing performances with the Braves so far, the 32-year-old veteran right-hander should remain in the starting rotation the rest of the way.

The Atlanta Braves have scratched right-hander Jake Odorizzi (arm) from his scheduled start on Saturday against the Miami Marlins with arm fatigue. Bryce Elder will toe the rubber in his place. Instead, Odorizzi will start next against the Mariners in Seattle. It's not a serious situation for the 32-year-old, but the Braves don't want to take any chances. In his five starts since being acquired from the Houston Astros, Odorizzi has gone 1-2 with a 4.26 ERA (5.65 FIP), 1.46 WHIP, 19 strikeouts and seven walks in 25 1/3 innings pitched. In 17 starts on the season as a whole, he's gone 5-5 with a 3.90 ERA (4.23 FIP), a 1.24 WHIP and a 65:24 K:BB in 85 1/3 innings. Elder, a rookie, is 1-3 with a 4.45 ERA (4.82 FIP), a 1.52 WHIP and 24 strikeouts in 28 1/3 innings over six outings (five starts) for Atlanta.
