Hayden Wesneski Stumbles in Cubs' Shutout Loss

Hayden Wesneski allowed three earned runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out three over six innings in Wednesday's 3-0 loss to the Padres.

Fantasy Impact

Despite this less-than-stellar outing, Wesneski's season numbers remain impressive, boasting a 1.59 ERA and a 0.88 WHIP through his first four starts. His 6.8 K/9 and 4.25 strikeout-to-walk ratio suggest he's been effective at managing contact and controlling the strike zone, although his low strikeout numbers might limit his ceiling in fantasy formats that heavily reward strikeouts. The increase in hits this game could hint at regression, especially considering his low .235 BABIP, indicating some luck in previous outings. Fantasy managers should monitor his next few starts closely for signs of adjustment or continued regression.
