Wentz opened the season in the Pirates' bullpen, posting a 4.15 ERA and 1.38 WHIP over 26 innings before being designated for assignment in early June. He was claimed by the Twins but was again designated after allowing a 15.75 ERA and 3.25 WHIP across eight innings. Atlanta, dealing with rotation injuries, then claimed Wentz. After one relief appearance, he made 13 starts in the second half, compiling a 4.92 ERA and 1.42 WHIP. ERA estimators suggested his results were inflated by roughly a run, as he was hurt by a .335 BABIP and a low 64.2 percent left on base rate. Wentz also posted a solid 23.0 percent strikeout rate during that stretch. Those factors were enough for Atlanta to bring him back to compete for a rotation spot, though he is more likely to serve as a swingman. If he starts, Wentz profiles as a streaming option backed by a strong offense. Read Past Outlooks
