It's fair to say Triston McKenzie has figured things out.
He was a mess earlier this season, failing to live up to his impressive 2020 debut while walking 39 in 42 1/3 innings. It got him sent to the minors and dumped to the waiver wire in most Fantasy Baseball leagues. In eight starts since returning, though, he has issued just eight walks in 49 innings -- a full about-face. Here's how the rest of his numbers look during that time:
Home runs did him in a couple times, skewing the ERA, but as you can see from that WHIP, he's been near unhittable in addition to walking nobody. In fact, with his latest seven-inning gem Saturday against the Angels, he has allowed a combined three hits in his last two outings, spanning 15 innings. He's been missing more bats, too, striking out 19 between those two starts. His 13.1 percent swinging-strike rate since returning would suggest there's more where those came from.
In other words, he's looking every bit like the pitcher who got us so excited last year and has rapidly improved his outlook from lost cause to speculative pickup to near must-start.
But first, check and make sure he isn't available in your league, as he is in more than 25 percent.
Let's see who else you might consider adding from this weekend ...
