Josh Winckowski Stats

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.

Boston Red Sox right-hander Nathan Eovaldi (neck, shoulder) has been scratched from his scheduled start on Thursday against the Pittsburgh Pirates due to soreness in his neck and shoulder. In his place, rookie right-hander Josh Winckowski will get the start. Eovaldi still thinks he can pitch, so the injury doesn't appear to be very serious, but the Red Sox won't take any chances. The 32-year-old has been solid in his 18 starts for Boston in 2022, going 5-3 with a 4.15 ERA (4.50 FIP), 1.26 WHIP, 96 strikeouts and 18 walks in 99 2/3 innings pitched. Consider him day-to-day for now. Winckowski has gone 5-5 with a 4.69 ERA, a 1.49 WHIP and a 34:20 K:BB in 55 2/3 innings over 11 starts. He'll be in the streaming conversation on Thursday against the Bucs.
