Joey Wentz Stats

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Joey Wentz has been recalled from Triple-A Toledo and will pitch in Saturday's game against the Miami Marlins. Wentz is set to work after Tigers opener Beau Brieske starts the game. Wentz has struggled mightily this season with a 6.78 ERA, 1.63 WHIP, and 66:31 K/BB ratio over 71 2/3 innings (16 appearances, 15 starts). There's no fantasy appeal here. Relief pitcher Trey Wingenter has been optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Detroit Tigers left-handed pitching prospect Joey Wentz will fill in for the injured Michael Lorenzen as the Tigers fifth starter. The southpaw will face the juggernaut Houston Astros on Tuesday, April 4, at Minute Maid Park. The No. 9-ranked prospect in the Tigers system made his major-league debut late last season, starting in seven games with an ERA of 3.03. However, there is cause for concern, as Wentz did have an xFIP of 4.56 and a SIERA of 4.58. While his 2022 may have been a bit fluky, the 22-year-old didn't perform terribly against the Astros last season, allowing only two runs in four innings pitched. If you need a one-time plug-in starter for the first week of the fantasy season, Wentz should be one of your options on the waiver wire.

Wentz figures to be part of the Tigers' rotation mix next season alongside the likes of Eduardo Rodriguez, Tarik Skubal, Spencer Turnbull, Matt Manning, and Beau Brieske. The Tigers also recalled right-hander Bryan Garcia from Triple-A on Monday.
