Hayden Wesneski shines, Cubs fall short

Hayden Wesneski (SP,RP - CHC)

Hayden Wesneski delivered a strong performance, tossing 6 1/3 scoreless innings, allowing just three hits and two walks while striking out eight against the Brewers on Friday.

Fantasy Impact
Despite his efforts, the Cubs could not capitalize, losing 3-1. Wesneski's season has been marked by exceptional control and efficiency, as evidenced by his stellar 0.54 ERA and 0.72 WHIP through three starts. His ability to maintain a high strikeout-to-walk ratio (4.67) and a low BABIP (.196) suggests that while some regression might be expected, his underlying skills are solid. Fantasy managers should continue to view Wesneski as a valuable asset, especially in leagues that reward strikeouts and low ERA/WHIP contributions. His consistent performance early in the season indicates he could be a reliable option in most fantasy formats.
