Jared Koenig Fantasy Stats

Milwaukee Brewers left-hander Jared Koenig is serving as the opener against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park on Saturday for the second straight day. Koenig will be followed by starter Colin Rea this time around. Koenig joins Zack Greinke as the only Brewers pitchers to start consecutive games. In his "start" in Friday's series opener in Beantown, Koenig allowed a hit and a walk and struck out one in two-thirds of an inning before giving way to right-hander Bryse Wilson. The 30-year-old southpaw won't go very long again in Saturday's contest and isn't a realistic fantasy streaming option. Rea, meanwhile, will still be worth considering as a deep-league streamer despite not actually starting this game. In his nine starts for the Brew Crew this year, he's gone 3-2 with a solid 4.07 ERA (4.67 FIP) and 1.39 WHIP while walking 17 and striking out 35 in 48 2/3 innings.

Former Oakland Athletics relief pitcher Jared Koenig has signed a minor-league contract with the Milwaukee Brewers, which includes an invitation to spring training. The 29-year-old left-hander posted a 3.81 ERA, 1.695 WHIP, and 70:29 K/BB ratio over 59 innings between Double-A and Triple-A last season and will provide some organizational depth for Milwaukee. He worked 39 1/3 innings with the Athletics back in 2022 but mostly struggled with a 5.72 ERA and 1.398 WHIP over 10 appearances (five starts).
