Rest-of-Season Projections

Poor showing in fourth loss
Wentz (4-4) took the loss Friday against the Mets, allowing six runs on nine hits and two walks in 3.1 innings. He struck out three.
Analysis
It was one of the worst outings of the year for Wentz, who tied a season high in runs allowed and set a season worst in hits allowed. The 3.1 innings were also the left-hander's fewest in a start this season. With Chris Sale (ribs) on a rehab assignment, Wentz could soon revert back to the bullpen. Wentz has a 3.94 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 34:14 K:BB over 38 frames for Atlanta, and his next appearance tentatively lines up to come on the road against the division-rival Marlins.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2018
2017
It was a rough go of it for Wentz in 2023. The lefty appeared in 25 games for the Tigers, making 19 starts, and posted a 6.90 ERA. He didn't log enough innings to qualify for the ERA leaderboard, but by comparison, the worst ERA among qualified pitchers was the 6.28 mark posted by Jordan Lyles. Not surprisingly, Wentz's struggles coincided with a 3-13 record, and he served up 25 home runs across his 105.2 innings of work. Detroit had a number of pitching injuries to contend with last year, which opened the door for Wentz, but Casey Mize (elbow) should be back and Kenta Maeda also joined the mix in free agency. As a result, Wentz figures to get squeezed from the rotation. Perhaps the 26-year-old could have more success in a long-relief role, but for fantasy purposes, it's not the most exciting outlook. The best-case scenario for Wentz is that he picks up some spot starts and looks more like the pitcher who recorded a 3.03 ERA across seven starts as a rookie in 2022.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Revamped pitching motion
Wentz's arm angle has increased by 17.1 degrees, the second-largest jump in MLB this season.
Analysis
Wentz is pitching to middling results with an ugly 6.45 ERA but a palatable 4.38 expected ERA. His more sidearm-oriented approach has generated a noticeable uptick in average velocity, with his oft-utilized fastball climbing from 92.4 mph to 93.6 mph. The 25-year-old could continue experiencing growing pains, but there is peripheral data that hints at potentially improved performance in the future.
