Josh Winder News
Minnesota Twins right-hander Josh Winder (shoulder) is behind the team's other pitchers in spring training as he builds up from a right-scapula stress fracture that he suffered late in the 2023 season that needed rest. The 27-year-old didn't know about the injury until he had an MRI exam in October, and as a result, he was unable to have a normal offseason as he recovered. Winder should have enough time to get ready for the start of the 2024 regular season, barring any setbacks in camp. In his second year in the big leagues for the Twins last year, Winder had a 4.15 ERA (3.98 FIP) and a 1.41 WHIP with his first career save, 14 walks and 28 strikeouts in 34 2/3 relief innings in his first season as strictly a reliever. With no path back to a starting role or a high-leverage bullpen job in Minnesota, he should be avoided in all fantasy formats.
Minnesota Twins right-hander Josh Winder is likely to be used as a multi-inning reliever for the Twins in 2024 and is also likely to be a frequent passenger on the Triple-A shuttle. the 27-year-old had a mediocre 4.51 ERA and 75-to-32 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 101 2/3 innings for Minnesota the last two years. He has also struggled with injuries and durability and is unlikely to be considered a starter moving forward, and he also hasn't shown the ability to miss enough bats to be counted on as a late-inning reliever. Winder will enter the 2024 campaign with no fantasy appeal in a long-relief role without much strikeout upside.
MLB.com's Do-Hyoung Park reported Tuesday that Minnesota Twins pitcher Josh Winder is being built up as a starter this spring. The 26-year-old made 15 appearances in 2022, 11 of them starts and went 4-6 with a 4.70 ERA, 1.30 WHIP, and 16.4% strikeout rate in 67 innings pitched. While Winder may be training for a starting role, there are a number of new faces and starters returning from injury in Pablo Lopez, Tyler Mahle, Bailey Ober, and Kenta Maeda. Winder will need to first earn a starting role and then pitch well before fantasy managers can consider him as an option for their rosters.
