Joey Wentz News
Detroit Tigers pitcher Joey Wentz will be working as a reliever in spring training rather than stretching out as a starter. It's a big spring for the left-hander as Wentz is out of minor league options, meaning he will either have to crack the club's bullpen out of camp or likely be cut loose from the 40-man roster. Wentz struggled mightily in the 2023 season as he worked to a 6.90 ERA across 25 outings (19 starts) with the Tigers while also tossing a 4.40 ERA across six starts with Triple-A Toledo. He was much better in the 2022 season when he posted a 3.03 ERA in seven starts with the Tigers alongside a 3.17 ERA in 12 outings (11 starts) at the Triple-A level. Once a promising prospect, Wentz's fantasy value is non-existent.
Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Joey Wentz has been recalled from Triple-A Toledo and will pitch in Saturday's game against the Miami Marlins. Wentz is set to work after Tigers opener Beau Brieske starts the game. Wentz has struggled mightily this season with a 6.78 ERA, 1.63 WHIP, and 66:31 K/BB ratio over 71 2/3 innings (16 appearances, 15 starts). There's no fantasy appeal here. Relief pitcher Trey Wingenter has been optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move.
Detroit Tigers left-handed pitching prospect Joey Wentz will fill in for the injured Michael Lorenzen as the Tigers fifth starter. The southpaw will face the juggernaut Houston Astros on Tuesday, April 4, at Minute Maid Park. The No. 9-ranked prospect in the Tigers system made his major-league debut late last season, starting in seven games with an ERA of 3.03. However, there is cause for concern, as Wentz did have an xFIP of 4.56 and a SIERA of 4.58. While his 2022 may have been a bit fluky, the 22-year-old didn't perform terribly against the Astros last season, allowing only two runs in four innings pitched. If you need a one-time plug-in starter for the first week of the fantasy season, Wentz should be one of your options on the waiver wire.
