Eligibility
Alex Wood delivered a strong performance in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Rangers.
Fantasy Impact
He tossed six innings, allowing just two hits and one walk while striking out three and giving up no earned runs. Despite his solid outing, Wood's season has been less than stellar, marked by a high 5.30 ERA and 1.74 WHIP over eight starts. His performance against the Rangers, however, could be a sign of turning things around, especially considering his ability to limit hits and runs in this outing. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on whether this start is a true turnaround or just a blip in an otherwise disappointing season.
Alex Wood delivered a strong performance in Thursday's 3-1 win against the Yankees, allowing just one earned run on eight hits and two walks while striking out five over 5.2 innings.
Fantasy Impact
This outing represents a significant improvement, despite his season-long struggles with a 6.59 ERA and a 1.97 WHIP. His high BABIP of .430 suggests he's been somewhat unlucky this season, but his high walk rate isn't doing him any favors. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on Wood's next starts, as a continuation of this form could make him a viable streaming option if he can maintain this level of performance.
Alex Wood endured another rough outing, allowing four earned runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out four over five innings in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Guardians.
Fantasy Impact
This performance continues a troubling trend for Wood, whose season ERA has now ballooned to 7.89 with a WHIP of 2.03 across five starts. His strikeout rate remains decent at 8.3 K/9, but his high BABIP of .435 suggests some bad luck, though not enough to ignore the underlying issues. Fantasy managers should be wary; despite the strikeouts, Wood's high ERA and WHIP are damaging, and his role is in serious jeopardy without signs of any improvement as the season moves forward.
Alex Wood allowed four runs on seven hits over 4 1/3 innings Sunday against the Nationals.
Fantasy Impact

The Athletics have named Alex Wood as their Opening Day starter.
Fantasy Impact
The 33-year-old left hander is in his first season with the A’s and will lead the young rotation in 2024. The veteran has struggled over the last few seasons and is not a strong fantasy option.
