Bryan Woo's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Seattle Mariners right-hander Bryan Woo (hamstring) has been cleared to make his first minor-league rehab start for High-A Everett this weekend. Woo is trying to recover from a mild hamstring injury and could only need one rehab start if all goes well this weekend before rejoining Seattle's starting rotation before the All-Star break. The 24-year-old has been held back by multiple injuries in 2024, but when he's been available, he's been excellent, going 3-1 with a 1.77 ERA (2.72 FIP) and 0.69 WHIP with 28 strikeouts and just three walks in 40 2/3 innings over eight starts in his second major-league season. Woo is sporting only a 18.7% strikeout rate after striking out 25.1% of the hitters he faced in his rookie season, but he's been able to induce plenty of weak contact while showing pinpoint command. He deserves to be stashed in most fantasy leagues while he's on the IL.

Seattle Mariners right-hander Bryan Woo (hamstring) is heading back to the 15-day injured list on Tuesday with what he called a low-grade hamstring strain. Woo suffered the hamstring strain in his start on Monday night in Tampa against the Rays and will now miss at least several weeks. Although Woo's injury doesn't sound serious, given the timing of the injury, he may be fighting an uphill battle to return to Seattle's starting rotation before the All-Star break in mid-July. In a corresponding move, the M's called up pitcher Collin Snider from Triple-A Tacoma. Woo has pitched great in 2024 but has had terrible injury luck. Emerson Hancock would be the logical replacement for Woo in Seattle, but he's currently dealing with lower-back tightness at Tacoma. Woo deserves to be stashed where he's rostered after going 3-1 so far this year with a 1.77 ERA and 0.69 WHIP in eight starts.

Seattle Mariners right-hander Bryan Woo (leg) was forced from his start early on Monday against the hosting Tampa Bay Rays after three innings pitched with an apparent right-leg injury. Woo was removed in the bottom of the fourth inning after allowing one earned run on five hits while walking none and striking out three in three innings of work. Fantasy managers will want to check back later on to see exactly what the 24-year-old is dealing with. Woo has pitched well this year, as he entered Monday's start with a miniscule 1.67 ERA (2.83 FIP) and 0.61 WHIP with 25 strikeouts and only three walks in 37 2/3 innings in his seven starts in his second year in the big leagues. However, he got a late start to the season due to injury and just hasn't been able to stay healthy. Woo looked pretty upset when leaving on Monday, so this could be an injury that forces him to the injured list.UPDATE: Woo is dealing with right-hamstring tightness and will undergo an MRI exam on Tuesday. The M's are unsure if he'll need to go on the injured list.
