Josh Winckowski Stats

Boston Red Sox right-hander Josh Winckowski picked up his first save of the season on Tuesday when he finished the 7-6 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays. He went one inning, allowing one hit and no walks while striking out zero. The 24-year-old Winckowski has been lights out for the Sox thus far, posting a 1.61 ERA with 17 strikeouts, five walks, and three holds over 22.1 innings. With Kenley Jansen (back) day-to-day, the club needed someone to step into his shoes. However, don't expect Winckowski to see many more opportunities, as Jansen should be back in a day or two.

Boston Red Sox pitcher Josh Winckowski will begin the regular season in the bullpen. The 24-year-old was mainly a starter with the team last season. However, he struggled with a 5.89 ERA with 10 home runs allowed in 15 games (14 starts) in 2022. The right-hander looked much better this spring, allowing two unearned runs with 10 strikeouts over 10 innings of work. His move to the bullpen should open up a spot for Kutter Crawford in the starting rotation. There's a good chance that Winckowski operates as the swingman in the Red Sox bullpen. He's not expected to have much fantasy value to begin the season.

The Boston Red Sox announced that rookie right-hander Josh Winckowski will be recalled from Triple-A Worcester in order to make the start on Tuesday against the Toronto Blue Jays. Nathan Eovaldi (shoulder) could wind up on the injured list in a corresponding move after he was scratched from his start on Tuesday. Winckowski, 24, has gone 5-6 with a 5.19 ERA (5.22 FIP), 1.50 WHIP, 36 strikeouts and 21 walks in 60 2/3 innings in his first 12 major league starts for Boston this year. He could stick in the starting rotation for multiple turns if Eovaldi goes on the injured list, but Winckowski has been pretty unreliable for fantasy managers in his rookie season. The matchup against Toronto isn't a very good one either.
