Lucchesi was called upon to make the start on Wednesday for the Phillies. Josh Walker was recalled in a corresponding move to provide bullpen depth.

Joey Lucchesi struggled mightily in Wednesday's 10-5 loss to the Phillies, allowing five earned runs on five hits and four walks while striking out only two over 4.1 innings.

Fantasy Impact

This outing did nothing to alleviate concerns about Lucchesi's rough start to the season, as his ERA ballooned to 10.38 and his WHIP escalated to 2.08. With a disappointing K/9 of 4.2 and a FIP standing at 8.10, his ability to contribute positively in fantasy formats is becoming increasingly dubious. Fantasy managers should be wary of relying on Lucchesi moving forward, as his performance thus far suggests significant struggles in controlling games and limiting damage.
