Michael Wacha Stats

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Michael Wacha (intercostal) will be activated from the 10-day injured list in time to start Friday's game against the Seattle Mariners. Wacha has been on the shelf for about two weeks due to intercostal irritation. The 30-year-old is off to a nice start to the 2022 season. Over five starts, he's gone 3-0 with a 1.38 ERA and a 0.92 WHIP. He's maintained a K/BB ratio of just 1.7, so that will likely need to change in order for him to continue having success this year.

Boston Red Sox right-hander Michael Wacha (intercostal) threw a simulated inning against catcher Christian Arroyo on Monday and had two strikeouts and induced a ground ball. Wacha got swings and misses on his fastball, changeup and curveball. The 30-year-old is expected to return later this week and could start either Saturday or Sunday at home against the Seattle Mariners. If he's floating around on your league's waiver wire, pick him up now. Wacha was great in his first five starts of the year before getting injured, allowing only four earned runs on 13 hits, although he had 11 walks and 19 strikeouts in 26 innings for a 3.91 FIP. There is probably some regression coming, but he's at least worth a roster spot in most mixed fantasy leagues.
