Eligibility
Joe Ross struggled mightily in Monday's 7-3 loss to the Padres, allowing six earned runs on nine hits and two walks while striking out four over 4.2 innings.
Fantasy Impact
This outing inflated his ERA to 4.91 and WHIP to 1.64 for the season, signaling ongoing issues with pitch control and susceptibility to hits. Fantasy managers should be cautious as his current form makes him a risky play in all but the deepest of leagues.
Joe Ross delivered a solid performance for the Brewers in their 9-5 victory over the Reds on Tuesday, allowing just two runs on five hits and a walk while striking out seven through 6 1/3 innings.
Fantasy Impact
With this outing, Ross' ERA nudges slightly upwards to a still-impressive 1.80. Despite a slightly elevated WHIP that suggests he's allowing a few too many baserunners, Ross is doing a nice job of limiting damage so far through two starts.
Joe Ross allowed two hits and five walks over 3 2/3 innings pitched in a loss to the Twins.
Fantasy Impact
Ross did tally three strikeouts but had issues with his command all day, throwing just 38 of his 73 pitches for strikes. The 30-year-old was making his first appearance of the season for the Brewers and will look to turn it around in his next start.
Joe Ross and the Milwaukee Brewers are in agreement on a major-league contract.
Fantasy Impact
Ross last pitched in the MLB in 2021. He pitched in limited innings this past year in the minor leagues after undergoing his second Tommy John surgery. He will look to compete for either a spot in the starting rotation or in the bullpen with Milwaukee.
The San Francisco Giants have signed right-handed pitcher Joe Ross to a minor-league contract.
Fantasy Impact
As Slusser notes in her tweet, it's a homecoming for the Oakland native. Ross didn't appear in the big leagues in 2022 due to Tommy John surgery, making just one appearance for the Nationals' Double-A team in Harrisburg. A veteran of 98 career MLB appearances, Ross owns a 4.26 ERA in that time alongside a 21.1% K%. Ross can potentially get back onto the fantasy radar with renewed health in 2023.
