Triston McKenzie

Triston McKenzie turned in a decent performance, allowing just one earned run on three hits and three walks while striking out six over five innings in Monday's 2-1 victory over the Tigers.

Fantasy Impact

Despite a somewhat shaky control evidenced by three walks, McKenzie managed to keep his team in the game and help secure a win. His season ERA now sits at 3.97, with a WHIP of 1.44, which are hardly elite numbers, suggesting that while he can be a useful piece in fantasy rotations, consistency remains an issue. Fantasy managers should continue to view McKenzie as a matchup-dependent starting option rather than a set-and-forget starter.

Triston McKenzie delivered a solid performance, allowing two earned runs on five hits and one walk while striking out six over seven innings in Wednesday's 3-2 victory over the Astros.

This outing was a breath of fresh air for fantasy managers given McKenzie's rocky start to the season, marked by a bloated 4.34 ERA and 1.48 WHIP. His ability to navigate through a tough Astros lineup while limiting walks and keeping the ball in the park should provide some confidence in his potential for improvement.

Triston McKenzie navigated through a rocky start against the Red Sox, allowing two earned runs on six hits and two walks while striking out seven over four innings in Thursday's 6-4 victory.

Fantasy Impact

Despite the decent strikeout numbers, McKenzie's short outing and continued struggles with control and efficiency are concerning. His season ERA now sits at an inflated 4.91 with a WHIP of 1.68, both metrics painting a picture of a pitcher who frequently finds himself in jams. The high FIP of 5.60 suggests underlying issues that could lead to more rough outings if not addressed. Fantasy managers should be wary of relying too heavily on McKenzie, as his current form does not inspire confidence for consistent fantasy production.

Triston McKenzie delivered a strong performance, allowing just one earned run on three hits and three walks while striking out six over five innings in Friday's 10-2 victory over the Athletics.

Fantasy Impact

This outing was a much-needed positive shift for McKenzie, whose season had been marred by a bloated 5.00 ERA and 1.61 WHIP entering the game. His ability to limit the Athletics to minimal scoring despite some control issues (three walks) suggests there might be room for improvement, especially considering his low .204 BABIP, which indicates some bad luck in previous outings. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on McKenzie's next starts, as today's performance could be the beginning of a turnaround, but his high FIP and low strikeout-to-walk ratio still raise concerns about his consistency and upside.

Triston McKenzie is reportedly pitching through a torn ligament in his elbow.

Fantasy Impact

McKenzie has posted a 6.23 ERA across 13 innings so far this season. His velocity has been down across his three starts which has been the biggest concern for him moving forward. This appears to be something that will be an issue the rest of the season.
