Stewart allowed six baserunners and struck out just one. This was only his second start of the year after making his first six appearances of 2017 out of the bullpen. Unless the 25-year-old begins to show an uptick in strikeout percentage he won't be worth streaming in fantasy baseball. Stewart has just 13 K's through 20 2/3 innings.

Brock Stewart allowed five unearned runs in 3 2/3 innings on Wednesday night versus the Twins, walking one and striking out two.

It's a bizarre stat line for the 25-year-old. This was his first start of 2017 and in 16 2/3 innings between starting and relieving this year he has yet to surrender a run. Fantasy players will need to see more before he's on the streaming radar.
