Gunnar Hoglund To Make Second Start On Wednesday
Gunnar Hoglund will make his second major-league start on Wednesday in Sacramento against the division-rival Seattle Mariners. Hoglund, the team's No. 14 prospect per MLB Pipeline, made a strong impression in his major-league debut last Friday against the Miami Marlins, picking up his first career win by giving up just one earned run while walking none and striking out seven in six innings pitched. Fantasy managers looking for rotation help in deeper leagues should definitely look to pick Hoglund up if he's available on the waiver wire, although he'll definitely have a much tougher matchup in his second start against Seattle, a team that currently ranks seventh in all of MLB with a .755 OPS. The 25-year-old had a 2.43 ERA and 1.04 WHIP with 30 strikeouts and seven walks in his six starts with Triple-A Las Vegas before his call-up.
