Dan Winkler News
The Chicago White Sox have signed relief pitcher Dan Winkler to a minor league deal. The 32-year-old has been pitching in Triple-A with the Texas Rangers. This season, Winkler has posted a 3.50 ERA and 26/13 K/BB ratio over 18 innings in the minors. This is a solid landing spot for Winkler as the White Sox need bullpen help. Winkler has a 3.98 ERA in 182 games through parts of seven seasons in the big leagues. He's not expected to have fantasy value, but is a good signing for Chicago.
The Chicago Cubs announced on Tuesday that they have designated relief pitcher Dan Winkler for assignment. Winkler got off to a nice start to the season with a 0.51 ERA on the season entering June, but that's when the train started to fall of the tracks. Winkler had a very rough July with an 8.22 ERA and things didn't get better in August with a 29.45 ERA in six appearances. For the season, Winkler is 1-3 with a 5.22 ERA in 47 games. The veteran is likely to get picked up by another organization as a depth piece, but he should be avoided in all formats. Replacing Winkler on the active roster will be outfielder Michael Hermosillo. Hermosillo, 26, will be making his big-league debut when he steps on the field and was hitting .310 with 10 home runs, 29 RBI and seven RBI in 145 at-bats this season for the Triple-A Cubs. The Cubs are in a complete rebuild, but manager David Ross continues to stick with veteran outfielder Jason Heyward in the lineup and Hermosillo's immediate role is unknown. Managers can safely leave him on the waiver wire for now.
Chicago Cubs relief pitcher Dan Winkler (triceps) was spotted playing catch recently. The veteran landed on the injured list a few days ago with tendinitis in his right triceps, so the latest news is promising. The 31-year-old has also missed time this season due to COVID-19 health and safety protocols and should remain on rosters in leagues that reward for holds.
