Adam Wainwright

Adam Wainwright allowed one run over five innings on Friday in a win over the Braves. He gave up four hits and walked three, and did not strike out a batter. The win moved Wainwright to 12-5 on the season.

Fantasy Impact

Wainwright still has a 4.87 ERA and 1.46 WHIP on the season, but he's been "relatively" effective for several starts now. The issue for Wainwright is that even in his good starts, he offers almost no strikeouts, and so will never be worth the risk of a potential blowup.

Adam Wainwright threw only three innings Sunday giving up three runs on five hits, walking five and striking out only one batter. He didn't factor into the decision.

Fantasy Impact

This was a very bad night for Wainwright. He's lucky the Cardinals offence bailed him out on this one. It looks like the wheels are falling off and Wainwright should be avoided from here on out.

Adam Wainwright has been placed on the 10-day disabled list with a stiff back.

Fantasy Impact

Considering there was no previous word of the injury or poor performance from Wainwright, it would appear that the veteran SP shouldn't be out for long. It appears top prospect Luke Weaver will be recalled to take over Wainwright's place in the starting rotation.

Adam Wainwright allowed three runs (two earned) over 5 2/3 innings in Monday's win over the Mets. He gave up six hits and walked two while striking out three.

Fantasy Impact

Despite a 5.08 ERA on the season, Wainwright now has 11 wins on the season and 92 strikeouts over 102 2/3 innings. He has little fantasy value outside of those two categories, however, and draws the Cubs in his next start.

Adam Wainwright pitched five innings giving up six runs on eight hits while walking one and striking out eight. He earned his ninth win of the season.

Fantasy Impact

At one point this season Wainwright looked like he had fixed his mechanics and remembered how to throw his curveball. Now though he looks like he did at the beginning of the season. Wainwright is not consistent enough to own, there's better options on the wire.
