2023 Fantasy Outlook
Winckowski made his major-league debut last season but failed to impress with a 5.89 ERA, 1.59 WHIP and 44:27 K:BB in 70.1 innings. The right-hander had a solid strikeout rate throughout his minor-league career, but that didn't immediately follow him to the big leagues as it was a measly 13.9 percent. However, he had a 51.9 percent groundball rate and a 4.61 xFIP indicates he wasn't helped out much by Boston's defense. Winckowski is likely to see the majors again in 2023, but more highly-touted prospects like Brandon Walter, Chris Murphy and Connor Seabold could have a leg up for any starting opportunities. Read Past Outlooks

Victimized by defense
Winckowski (2-1) was tagged with Wednesday's loss to the Reds, allowing three unearned runs on three hits while striking out two over 1.1 innings.
ANALYSIS
Boston's shoddy infield defense reared itself once again when Rafael Devers' throwing error triggered a three-run inning for the Reds. The previous night, Enrique Hernandez committed a pair of throwing errors, one that led to a run in a 9-8 loss. "We're not a good defensive team," manager Alex Cora bluntly told Chad Jennings of The Athletic. "We have a pitching staff that doesn't have swing-and-miss stuff. When we get to two strikes and induce weak contact, we've got to make the plays. When we're really good, we're making plays. When we're not, we struggle." Winckowski, who's pitched well this season, put an end to an uprising in the sixth inning before the seventh went awry. The right-hander maintains a 2.14 ERA over 33.2 innings with 25 strikeouts and six walks.
