Wisler allowed two runs (one earned) on two walks and a hit to blow the save Friday against the Orioles. Wisler entered the game in the 10th inning and was tasked with protecting a two-run lead. However, he walked the first two batters he faced to load the bases and allowed a two-RBI single. Brooks Raley figures to pick up the majority of save chances if Andrew Kittredge (back) misses time moving forward, though Wisler could also get work in higher-leverage spots. Despite the stumble Friday, Wisler has a 2.61 ERA and 1.11 WHIP with a 15:6 K:BB across 20.2 innings on the season.

Wisler allowed two runs on two hits in two innings during Friday's win over the Mariners. He struck out two batters and did not factor in the decision. Wisler acted as the opener Friday and promptly served up a two-run shot to Eugenio Suarez in the first inning. It was his first time allowing more than one earned run in an appearance this season and he's now sporting a 2.57 ERA through 14 frames. Wisler will likely continue getting occasional starts while primarily working out of the bullpen.

Wisler will start Friday's game against the Mariners, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports. The 29-year-old will serve as an opener for the third time this season, and he'll again pitch ahead of Josh Fleming. Wisler has a 1.50 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 11:2 K:BB across 12 innings this season, and he should cover an inning or two Friday before turning things over to Fleming.

Wisler served as the opener and allowed two hits in two scoreless innings, adding two strikeouts in an 8-4 loss Tuesday against Seattle. He did not factor into the decision. Wisler pitched a perfect first inning and, after allowing consecutive singles, retired the final three batters of the second. The journeyman opened for the second time this season and has a 1.93 ERA and 0.96 WHIP in 9.1 innings while striking out nearly a batter an inning. Those numbers are similar to his overall results since 2020.

Wisler will open Tuesday's game against Seattle, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports. Wisler was a starter early in his career, so being the first pitcher on the mound shouldn't be uncomfortable for him. He's already filled the opener role once this season, recording five outs last Tuesday against the Cubs. He hasn't thrown more than two innings since 2020, so don't expect him to pitch particularly deep in Tuesday's game. Josh Fleming will handle the bulk of the innings behind him.
