Joe Wieland pitches a solid game Tuesday
by Stan Son | Tue, Mar 31st 6:14pm EDT
Joe Wieland gave up nine total hits but none that were hit particularly hard Tuesday against the Chicago White Sox. He ended up surrending two earned runs but one of the runs was off a sacrifice fly after Heisey and Crawford misplayed a ball in the outfield allowing runners to advance to second and third. Wieland did not walk anyone and struck out one.
Fantasy Impact:
Wieland was a piece in the Matt Kemp trade. He had Tommy John surgery in 2013 but looks to be back as his Spring Training numbers prior to today's game were: 9 IP, 9 Ks, 3 BB, 1.00 ERA, and 1.111 WHIP. Wieland is a candidate to fill in at the back of the Dodgers rotation until Hyun-Jin Ryu is ready. Wieland has excellent control and a low-to-mid 90s fastball, solid changeup, and good curveball.
