Wentz (1-5) took the loss Friday, allowing five runs on six hits and two walks over four innings during a 12-3 loss to the White Sox. He struck out four.

EDGE Analysis

Wentz allowed at least five earned runs for a second straight game and the fifth time this season. He boasts an ugly 7.80 ERA across 10 starts this year (42.2 innings), but he was much better in limited work last year, posting a 3.03 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 27:13 K:BB over seven starts (32.2 innings). If Wentz continues at his current pace, the Tigers may send him down to Triple-A, but they currently don't have many big-league-ready options to replace the 25-year-old, as Spencer Turnbull (neck), Tarik Skubal (elbow), Beau Brieske (elbow), Casey Mize (elbow) and Matt Manning (foot) all remain on the injured list.

Wentz (1-4) took the loss Sunday, allowing six runs on 10 hits over two innings during a 6-4 loss to Washington. He struck out one and didn't issue a walk.

EDGE Analysis

Wentz was pulled in the third for a second consecutive start and has allowed nine runs on 16 hits during that stretch. Sunday's outing marked the fourth time the 25-year-old has allowed at least five runs this season, and he currently holds a 7.45 ERA over 38.2 innings. He was much better in limited work last year, posting a 3.03 ERA and 1.10 WHIP across seven starts (32.2 innings), but he's yet to find a groove in 2023.

Went allowed three runs on six hits across 2.2 innings and did not factor into the decision Sunday against the Mariners. He walked one and struck out three.

EDGE Analysis

Wentz picked up his first win of the season in his last start but took a step backwards Sunday. It was the righty's second shortest outing of the year, as the Tigers decided to turn things over to their bullpen after seeing Wentz toss 59 pitches without having much success. Injuries have forced him to step into a rotation spot, though fantasy managers should avoid Wentz and his 6.38 ERA.

Wentz (1-3) allowed two runs on three hits across 5.2 innings to earn the win Monday against the Guardians. He walked three and struck out five.

EDGE Analysis

Wentz didn't have great control with the three walks, and that led to 92 pitches before he exited in the sixth, but it was still a solid start for the righty. He's established himself as a rotation regular with Beau Brieske (elbow) and Matt Manning (foot) going down in the early going, though he's been a bit unsteady with a 6.09 ERA. Wentz should start again over the weekend against the Mariners.

Wentz allowed five runs on nine hits across six innings and did not factor into the decision in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Mets. He walked one and struck out two.

EDGE Analysis

With Detroit playing two games Wednesday, they needed some length from Wentz in the opener, so he stayed out there despite getting tagged for three home runs. On a more positive note, he only needed 83 pitches to cover six innings, though his ERA did bump up to 6.67 for the season. Wentz should stick in the rotation with the likes of Beau Brieske (elbow), Matt Manning (foot), Casey Mize (elbow) and Tarik Skubal (elbow) all out at the moment. Wentz is tentatively set to start again early next week against Cleveland, but he's not a particularly appealing fantasy option currently.

Wentz did not factor into the decision Thursday, allowing two runs on four hits and one walk over 5.2 innings against the Orioles. He struck out six.

EDGE Analysis

Wentz was excellent Thursday, retiring 13 of the first 14 batters before Joey Ortiz tagged him for a single that drove in Jorge Mateo and Adam Frazier in the fifth. The 25-year-old has been incredibly inconsistent this season, allowing five runs in two of his five starts but stifled the Giants on April 14, striking out seven and allowing just one run. Thursday's contest also marked Wentz's second outing allowing no home runs. Considering Wentz owns an 0-3 record, he may be pushed out of the starting rotation once Matt Manning (foot) comes back, but considering Manning has just started throwing, Wentz should be expected to make at least one more start.

Wentz (0-3) took the loss Saturday, allowing five runs on six hits and two walks over four innings against the Orioles. He struck out four.

EDGE Analysis

Wentz rolled through the first two innings and had two outs in the third before allowing four straight batters to reach. James McCann added a home run in the fourth to put five runs on the lefty. Wentz was good in seven starts last season, posting a 3.03 ERA, but after four outings in 2023, Wentz has a 7.56 ERA through 16.2 innings.

Wentz didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 7-5 extra-innings win over the Giants, allowing one run on six hits and one walk over 5.2 innings. He struck out seven.

EDGE Analysis

The southpaw served up a leadoff homer to Thairo Estrada but was impressive for the rest of his outing, coming one out short of a quality start and generating 30 called plus swinging strikes among his 94 pitches. It was Wentz's best performance of the season, but he'll still carry a 6.39 ERA and mediocre 10:6 K:BB through 12.2 innings into his next start, likely to come at home next week against the Guardians.

Wentz (0-2) took the loss Saturday, allowing five runs on one hit and four walks over 1.2 innings against Boston without a strikeout.

EDGE Analysis

Wentz was able to get through the first without giving up a run, but the second was a disaster for the southpaw. He walked in two runs, and another three runs were charged to him on a grand slam by Rafael Devers after he left the contest. Just 22 of Wentz's 47 pitches landed in the strike zone, and it caused the 25-year-old's ERA balloon to 10.29 over seven innings across two starts. It's difficult to recommend Wentz as a streaming option whenever he's on the mound.

Wentz (0-1) allowed three runs on four hits and a walk over 5.1 frames Sunday, striking out three and taking a loss against the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie southpaw tossed three shutout frames before serving up a solo shot to Randy Arozarena in the fourth. Wentz was then tagged with a pair of runs in the sixth. He forced 11 swinging strikes, including four with his changeup. However, Wentz was hit hard all afternoon, resulting in an average exit velocity of 90.1 mph against him. He's scheduled for a home matchup with Boston next week.
