21 Tyler Chatwood SP

Chatwood (3-5) allowed four runs (three earned) on five hits in a loss to the Brewers on Tuesday, striking out five and walking two in five innings.

Chatwood got behind early by giving up a two-run double to Travis Shaw in the first, and surrendered another two-run double to Shaw in the third. This marks the eighth consecutive start in which Chatwood hasn't made it a full six innings, and he has just three quality starts this season. The right-hander still carries a sub-4.00 ERA, but what's really hurting him is the fact that he has exactly as many walks (58) as strikeouts this year in 63.1 innings. His next start will be against the Dodgers in a matchup at home.

Chatwood (3-5) took the loss Tuesday against the Brewers, allowing four runs (three earned) on five hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out five.

Chatwood actually showed some encouraging signs in this outing, as he only walked two batters, which was his fewest in a start since May 16. Coming into Tuesday, Chatwood had walked a whopping 22 hitters in his previous four starts (15.1 innings). The 28-year-old righty has a respectable 3.98 ERA, but the control problems have hurt his WHIP and kept him from going deep into many games, which has limited his fantasy appeal. Chatwood will look to build on this performance in his next scheduled start Monday against the Dodgers.

Chatwood tossed 4.2 innings while striking out six hitters, allowing just one run despite giving up four hits and seven walks in a 4-3 win over the Phillies on Thursday.

It took Chatwood 107 pitched (58 strikes) to record just 14 outs. In leagues that don't count walks, this start was at least respectable. The 28-year-old has never had great command -- he owned a career 4.2 BB/9 prior to 2018 -- but he now owns an abysmal 53:56 K:BB ratio in 58.1 innings this year. Chatwood looks to take the mound early next week in Milwaukee.

Chatwood allowed two runs on four hits and four walks while striking out three over 5.1 innings Friday, as he didn't factor into the decision against the Mets.

Chatwood was finally able to work past the third inning, as he'd been pulled after 2.2 innings in his previous two starts; he walked 11 batters over that span. Although Chatwood exited with a two-run deficit, the Cubs rallied in the seventh and pulled out the victory. He sits with a 4.02 ERA and 1.73 WHIP with 47 strikeouts and 49 walks over 53.2 innings.

Chatwood did not factor into the decision against the Giants on Sunday, giving up three earned runs on six hits and lasting just 2.2 innings, striking out three and walking five as the Cubs eventually won 8-3.

Chatwood was shaky from the get-go, as he conceded three first-inning runs and ended up throwing a lofty total of 88 pitches while finding himself unable to make it out of the second inning. It was the second straight outing where he's only lasted 2.2 innings, and he also has an unsightly 4:11 K:BB over those outings. He showed some promise with some solid outings earlier this season, but his erratic pitching of late, as well as his 1.76 WHIP over 48.1 innings, means he's tough to comfortably trust for fantasy purposes at until he shows some signs of righting the ship.
