Josh Winckowski Called Up To Start Game 2
3 years agoThe Boston Red Sox called up right-hander Josh Winckowski on Saturday to serve as the team's 27th man for their doubleheader against the Baltimore Orioles. Winckowski will start Game 2. In corresponding moves, the team placed right-hander Hansel Robles (back) on the 15-day injured list with back spasms and optioned right-hander Hirokazu Sawamura from Triple-A Worcester. Right-handers Ryan Brasier and Phillips Valdez were also recalled from Worcester. Winckowski will be making his major league debut against the O's after posting a 3.13 ERA and 0.85 WHIP while walking six and striking out 34 in 31 2/3 innings over seven starts for Worcester. The 23-year-old might be worth a look as a streaming sleeper in DFS against Baltimore.
