Jun 28 2025 | Woo did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 3-2 extra-inning loss to the Rangers, allowing two unearned runs on five hits and two walks with nine strikeouts over six innings. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Woo allowed a homer following a two-out error in the third inning but was otherwise excellent, throwing 61 of 97 pitches for strikes and generating 18 whiffs. The 25-year-old will wrap up June with three consecutive quality starts and has impressively completed at least six frames in all 16 of his outings this season. He'll carry a 2.93 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 96:17 K:BB across 101.1 innings into a favorable matchup with the Royals next week. |
|
Jun 23 2025 | Woo (7-4) picked up the win Monday at Minnesota, allowing two runs on six hits and one walk over six innings. He struck out nine. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 25-year-old tidily handled the Twins lineup, blowing them away with 18 whiffs out of his 91 total pitches. The only blemishes on Woo's line came in the sixth when he had a seven-run lead and allowed back-to-back solo homers to Trevor Larnach and Carlos Correa. With this performance, Woo collected his 11th quality start, marking a new career best. He will carry a sterling 3.12 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 87:15 K:BB through 95.1 frames into his next start, which projects to be at Texas this weekend. |
|
Jun 17 2025 | Woo (6-4) recorded the win Tuesday against the Red Sox, giving up no runs on one hit and two walks in seven innings. He struck out six. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Woo produced 16 whiffs during a masterful performance, bouncing back in a big way after yielding a season-high five runs in his previous start. Tuesday marked the second time this year that the right-hander worked at least six innings while allowing just one hit, and it was also his second scoreless appearance of the campaign. On tap for Woo is a scheduled matchup on the road against the Twins next week, when he'll sport a 3.12 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 78:14 K:BB across 89.1 frames in 2025. |
|
Jun 11 2025 | Woo (5-4) took the loss against the Diamondbacks on Wednesday, allowing five runs on seven hits and one walk with three strikeouts over six innings. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: All five runs surrendered by Woo came via two home runs in the sixth inning, including a grand slam by Eugenio Suarez. While the 25-year-old impressively completed six frames for the 13th straight start, he's now allowed nine earned runs through two June outings. On the season, he owns a 3.39 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 72:12 K:BB across 82.1 innings and will look to get back on track at home against the Red Sox next week. |
|
Jun 5 2025 | Woo (5-3) took the loss Thursday against the Orioles, allowing four runs on four hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out six. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Woo got off to a nice start Thursday, holding Baltimore to one run on just two hits through his first five innings. However, things would unravel in the sixth when Woo gave up three runs on back-to-back homers from Adley Rutschman and Gunnar Henderson. Woo's been hurt by the long ball recently -- he's given up four homers over 12.2 innings in his last two outings. Overall, the 25-year-old right-hander's ERA sits at 3.07 with a 0.96 WHIP and 69:11 K:BB across 12 starts (76.1 innings) this season. Woo will look to rebound in his next start, tentatively lined up for next week on the road in Arizona. |
|
May 30 2025 | Woo allowed three runs on six hits and a walk while striking out three over 6.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Twins on Friday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 12-6 extra-inning loss was a product of a bullpen meltdown. Woo wasn't at his best Friday, allowing multiple home runs for the first time in his 11 starts this season, but he left with a lead in the seventh inning. The 25-year-old right-hander is now at a 2.82 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 63:9 K:BB across 70.1 innings. Woo's spot in the rotation is secure, so he won't be threatened by the return of Bryce Miller (elbow), who will start Saturday. Woo's next start is projected to be at home versus the Orioles. |
|
May 24 2025 | Woo (5-2) took the loss against the Astros on Saturday, allowing two unearned runs on nine hits and no walks while striking out five over six innings. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Woo allowed two unearned runs in the first inning, one stemming from his own error, but bounced back with five scoreless frames. The 25-year-old has now gone three straight starts without issuing a walk and has delivered quality starts in eight of 10 outings this season. He'll take a 2.40 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 60:8 K:BB across 63.2 innings into a home matchup with the Twins next weekend. |
|
May 22 2025 | Woo (leg) is expected to make his scheduled start Saturday against the Astros after being struck by a foul ball Thursday, Shannon Drayer of SeattleSports.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Woo was struck by the ball in the eighth inning and immediately went into the clubhouse to be evaluated. The injury doesn't appear to be serious, but manager Dan Wilson did note Woo's leg was swollen. For now, Woo's status for Saturday's start isn't in jeopardy, but his status will be worth monitoring. |
|
May 18 2025 | Woo (5-1) allowed a run on five hits and struck out five without walking a batter over seven innings to earn the win Sunday over the Padres. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Woo turned in another fantastic outing, with the lone run coming early on a Fernando Tatis solo shot to lead off the bottom of the first inning. Woo has allowed one run or fewer in five of his nine outings this season, and this was his seventh quality start. It was also the third time in four starts in May he hasn't issued a walk, as he continues to dominate with control. Woo is at a 2.65 ERA, 0.87 WHIP and 55:8 K:BB through 57.2 innings this season. His next start is projected to be on the road versus the Astros. |
|
May 13 2025 | Woo didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against the Yankees after allowing four hits and no walks in 6.1 shutout innings. He struck out six. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Woo fanned at least six in his fourth consecutive start, submitting his second scoreless outing of the year in the process. The hard-throwing right-hander has fired at least six innings while conceding two runs or fewer in five of his eight appearances this season, also yielding one walk or less in six of his starts. Woo holds a stellar 2.84 ERA, 0.89 ERA and 50:8 K:BB across 50.2 innings ahead of his next scheduled outing against the White Sox, who rank last in batting average (.214) and slugging percentage (.321) through their first 41 games. |
|
May 7 2025 | Woo did not factor into the decision in Wednesday's 6-5 win over the A's. He allowed five runs on eight hits and a walk while striking out six over six innings. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The A's got to Woo early Wednesday, scoring three runs on four hits in the first inning. However, the right-hander would settle in and allow just two runs over his final five frames. While the eight hits and five runs allowed are both season highs, Woo's managed to deliver six or more innings in each of his first seven starts this year. His ERA now sits at 3.25 with a 0.92 WHIP and 44:8 K:BB across 44.1 innings. Woo is currently slated to face the Yankees at home in his next outing. |
|
May 2 2025 | Woo (4-1) allowed one hit and struck out eight without walking a batter over 6.1 scoreless innings to earn the win Friday over the Rangers. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Woo retired the first 14 batters he faced and ended with 64 of 87 pitches landing for strikes in the dominant outings. This was his fourth straight quality start and his fifth such performance in six starts overall. Woo has a 2.58 ERA, 0.83 WHIP and 38:7 K:BB over 38.1 innings. He showed plenty of potential over 121.1 innings in 2024, and he's arguably been even more reliable in 2025, which is especially valuable for a rotation missing George Kirby (shoulder) and Logan Gilbert (elbow). Woo's next start is projected to be a road outing versus the Athletics next week. |
|
Apr 18 2025 | Woo (2-1) took the loss Friday against the Blue Jays after allowing three runs on seven hits and two walks in seven innings. He struck out four. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Friday marked the third quality start already this year for Woo, who was charged with his first loss despite throwing at least six innings in his fourth straight outing to open the campaign. Woo kept the hard hits down, giving up just one extra-base hit, and two of his three runs allowed came on sacrifice flies. The hard-throwing right-hander should remain an upper-echelon fantasy starter as long as he stays healthy, and Woo sports a 3.12 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 22:6 K:BB over 26 innings ahead of a tough spot in next week's scheduled start in Boston. |
|
Apr 12 2025 | Woo (2-0) earned the win over Texas on Saturday, allowing one run on six hits and one walk while striking out seven batters over seven innings. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Woo gave up a run in the first frame, but he put the clamps on the Rangers' offense thereafter and didn't allow another player to cross the plate. The right-hander impressed by racking up 15 whiffs and throwing 61 of an efficient 91 pitches for strikes. Woo has gone at least six innings in all three of his starts this season, and this was his second quality start of the campaign. He's been ace-like to begin 2025 with a 2.84 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 18:4 K:BB through 19 innings. |
|
Apr 6 2025 | Woo allowed four runs on five hits and a walk over six innings in a no-decision against the Giants on Sunday. He struck out six during the loss. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Woo cruised through three shutout frames before coughing up four runs in the fourth inning. The biggest hiccup was Mike Yastrzemski's three-run shot. Woo had command of the strike zone Sunday, firing 67 of 89 pitches for strikes. He forced 11 whiffs, including seven with his fastball that averaged 96.4 mph. Woo will carry a 3.75 ERA into his next start, which is projected to be at home next weekend against Texas. |
|
Mar 30 2025 | Woo (1-0) earned the win Sunday over the A's, allowing one run on three hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out five. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Woo picked up where he left off last season, when he pitched to a 2.89 ERA with a 0.90 WHIP and 101 strikeouts over 121.1 innings. Tyler Soderstrom's fourth-inning homer was the lone blemish on Woo's line Sunday -- he needed just 76 pitches to make it through six innings. The 24-year-old right-hander will look to keep rolling in his second start, currently scheduled for next week in San Francisco. |
|
Mar 6 2025 | Woo struck out six over 2.1 scoreless innings in Thursday's Cactus League game against the Angels, giving up just one walk and one hit. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Woo dominated in this abbreviated outing, striking out the side in the first inning and generating a 59 percent whiff rate across his 37 pitches. Health concerns have kept the 25-year-old right-hander in the middle rounds of fantasy drafts this spring, but Woo excelled when available last season in the form of a 2.89 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 101:13 K:BB through 121.1 frames (22 starts). With the benefit of throwing at the pitcher-friendly T-Mobile Park for home games, Woo carries plenty of upside in 2025 but will need to prove he can handle a full workload before establishing himself as an upper-echelon starter. |
|
Sep 27 2024 | Woo (9-3) allowed three hits and a walk while striking out eight over five shutout innings to earn the win over the Athletics on Friday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Woo kept a scoreless line for the first time since Aug. 14 in his final start of the season. The 24-year-old had seven scoreless starts in 22 outings this season, establishing himself as a high-end starter with an emphasis on elite control in his second major-league campaign. He ends the year with a 2.89 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 101:13 K:BB over 121.1 innings. |
|
Sep 22 2024 | Woo allowed four runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out four over six innings in a no-decision versus the Rangers on Sunday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Woo was cruising until the sixth inning. He then gave up four runs, including a three-run home run by Wyatt Langford, on five hits and a walk in that frame, and the Mariners' bullpen couldn't maintain the lead over the late innings. There's some signs of fatigue for Woo -- he's allowed four or more runs in three of his last five starts after doing that just once in his first 16 games this year. He's still at a 3.02 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 93:12 K:BB over 116.1 innings across 21 starts. His final start of the regular season is projected to be at home versus the Athletics. |
|
Sep 18 2024 | Woo (8-3) took the loss Tuesday against the Yankees, allowing seven runs on nine hits and a walk while striking out seven over 4.2 innings. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Woo had his worst outing of the season, tying his season-high in hits allowed and setting a new high for runs allowed while failing to reach five innings for the first time since July 27. The Yankees got to him for a pair of runs in the first and second innings before Juan Soto and Jasson Dominguez went deep in the fourth and fifth, respectively, to add on another three runs. Woo still struck out seven, tying his season high, and he had 20 whiffs on the evening. He'll carry a 2.85 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 89:11 K:BB in 110.1 innings into a meeting with the Rangers over the weekend. |
|
Sep 12 2024 | Woo (8-2) picked up the win over the Padres on Wednesday, allowing two runs on two hits and one walk over 6.2 innings while striking out five. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Woo had a no-hitter going through the first six frames before giving up a solo homer to Fernando Tatis with one out in the seventh. The right-hander would then be relieved by Troy Taylor with two outs in the inning, though the former would still come away with his third win in his last four decisions. Woo has also produced quality starts in six of his last eight outings while posting a robust 45:4 K:BB over that stretch. On the downside, he's now surrendered at least one long ball in five consecutive starts. |
|
Sep 5 2024 | Woo (7-2) earned the win Thursday, allowing two runs on eight hits over five innings against the A's. He struck out six. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Woo gave up eight hits in a start for the third time in his career, but worked around it to pick up the win. After giving up a season-high three homers in his last start, Woo served up another one Thursday, and he's now allowed at least one in each of his last four starts. The 24-year-old continues to be so effective thanks to his control, as he's only issued nine free passes in 99 innings. Including today's start, he hasn't walked any hitters in 11 of his 18 starts this season. |
|
Sep 1 2024 | Woo did not factor into the decision in a loss to the Angels on Saturday, allowing four runs on five hits over 6.1 innings. He struck out three. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The first two runs charged to Woo on the night both came off the bat of Jo Adell, with the first one coming on a 405-foot blast to center field in the third inning and the second coming on a leadoff shot in the sixth. The right-hander would go on to surrender a season-high three homers in the contest while also snapping his streak of five consecutive quality starts. Furthermore, Woo's three strikeouts Saturday marked his lowest total in that category since July 27 against the White Sox, and he's now given up at least one long ball in three straight outings. Even with the lackluster performance, Woo still finished the month of August with a 2.23 ERA to go along with an outstanding 34:3 K:BB. |
|
Aug 25 2024 | Woo (6-2) picked up the win Sunday, allowing two runs (one earned) on four hits over seven innings against the Giants. He struck out seven. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: A throwing error and a home run put Woo into a hole in the first, but he rebounded to allow just three singles over the final six scoreless innings of his outing to pick up the win. It was the fifth straight quality start for Woo who has pitched into the seventh during each of those appearances, compiling a 1.59 ERA, 0.68 WHIP and 31 strikeouts over 34 innings. He'll look for a sixth-straight quality start in his next matchup, scheduled to take place in Anaheim against the hapless Angels. |
|
Aug 19 2024 | Woo (5-2) allowed two runs on two hits, two walks and a hit batsman while striking out five over 6.1 innings to take the loss versus the Dodgers on Monday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Woo didn't allow a run to advance past first base over his first six innings, but Gavin Lux tagged him for a solo home run in the seventh. It was still a fourth straight quality start for Woo, who has allowed a total of five runs over 27 innings through four starts in August. He's now at a 2.12 ERA, 0.83 WHIP and 61:9 K:BB through 80.2 innings over 15 starts this season. He's projected for a home start versus the Giants this weekend. |
|
Aug 15 2024 | Woo came away with a no-decision in Wednesday's 3-2 extra-inning loss to the Tigers, scattering four hits over seven scoreless innings. He struck out six without walking a batter. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The right-hander put together another brilliant performance, generating 29 called or swinging strikes among his 85 pitches, but Woo wound up settling for his third straight quality start and seventh of the season when his bullpen couldn't get the job done. Through three outings in August, he's delivered a 1.31 ERA, 0.73 WHIP and 19:1 K:BB through 20.2 innings, and he seems fully recovered from the hamstring issues that began bothering him in late June. Woo will face a tough test in his next start, which is scheduled to come on the road early next week against the Dodgers. |
|
Aug 9 2024 | Woo did not factor into the decision in a win over the Tigers on Thursday, allowing three runs on five hits and one walk over 6.2 innings while striking out seven. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Woo was rolling early, taking a perfect game into the top of the fifth inning before Bligh Madris poked a leadoff single. The right-hander would surrender another three hits in the frame, including two for extra bases, as Detroit jumped out to a 3-0 lead, but those would be the only runs allowed by Woo on the night. He's posted quality starts in back-to-back outings since exiting his start July 27 due to hamstring discomfort. Over that two-game stretch he's produced a robust 13:1 K:BB. |
|
Aug 2 2024 | Woo (5-1) allowed five hits and struck out six without walking a batter over seven scoreless innings to earn the win Friday over the Phillies. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It was the first time all year Woo has completed seven frames, and it was also his fifth scoreless outing in 12 starts. He also got ample run support from the Mariners, who swatted four homers and put up 10 runs in the win over the National League's top team. Woo lowered his ERA to 2.08 with a 0.87 WHIP and 43:6 K:BB through 60.2 innings this season. His next start is projected to be at home versus the Tigers. |
|
Jul 27 2024 | Woo experienced discomfort in his right hamstring during Saturday's start against the White Sox but isn't expected to miss his next start, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports. Woo allowed one unearned run on four hits and a walk with three strikeouts across four innings. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Woo was removed after 70 pitches and reported pain in his right hamstring. the same hamstring he strained in mid-June that required an IL stint. Saturday's start was Woo's third since being activated from the injured list and he's still expected to make his next start, which is tentatively scheduled to come Friday against the Phillies. Still, considering the touchy nature of the injury, fantasy managers should keep an eye on Woo's status leading up to his next start. |
|
Jul 22 2024 | Woo (4-1) got the win over the Astros on Sunday, allowing two runs on four hits while striking out five over 5.2 innings. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: All the significant damage against Woo came off the bat of Yordan Alvarez, who clubbed a solo home run in the fourth inning before lacing an RBI triple in the sixth en route to a cycle. Woo only threw 73 pitches, but Sunday was his longest outing since he went six innings June 6. It was also the sixth time in 10 starts this season he hasn't issued a walk. It was an excellent bounce back effort from the 24-year-old after his worst start of the year July 12. Woo will carry a 2.54 ERA, 0.87 WHIP and 34:5 K:BB in 49.2 innings into his next start, which lines up to come against the White Sox over the weekend. |
|
Jul 12 2024 | Woo did not factor into the decision in Friday's 6-5 loss to the Angels, allowing four runs on nine hits and two walks over 3.1 innings. He struck out just one. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Despite his fastball clocking in at 94.9 mph, up 0.2 mph from his season average, Woo looked rusty in his return from a hamstring injury against an unspectacular Angels lineup. The Seattle right-hander generated only six whiffs out of his 66 pitches and allowed a career-high nine hits. Even with this poor performance, Woo closes out the first half with a 2.45 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 29:5 K:BB across 44 innings. He currently lines up to face the Angels again at home in his next start after the All-Star break. |
|
Jul 9 2024 | Manager Scott Servais said Tuesday that Woo (hamstring) will return from the injured list during Seattle's upcoming series against the Angels, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Servais didn't specify exactly what day Woo will return to start, though his turn in the rotation would come up Friday. The 24-year-old had been dominant in eight starts prior to landing on the IL with a strained hamstring, posting a 1.77 ERA and 0.69 WHIP in 40.2 innings. However, he threw just 45 pitches in 2.2 frames during his lone rehab start Saturday, so Woo will most likely be working under a relatively low pitch count in his return to a major-league mound. |
|
Jul 7 2024 | Woo (hamstring) threw 45 pitches and allowed two runs on a hit with two walks and two strikeouts over 2.2 innings during his rehab start with High-A Everett on Saturday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 24-year-old rejoined the Mariners on Sunday, but manager Scott Servais was non-committal on whether the right-hander will require an additional rehab outing. The club wants Woo to be able to cover at least four or five innings before being reinserted into the big-league rotation, so it wouldn't be surprising if he's sent on another rehab outing to further build up his workload before being activated. |
|
Jul 4 2024 | Woo (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment with High-A Everett this weekend, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Woo came out of a bullpen session Wednesday with no concerns, clearing the way for him to make a rehab start. Mariners manager Scott Servais wouldn't rule out a return before the All-Star break for Woo, so it sounds like the right-hander could need just the one rehab outing if all goes well. |
|
Jun 25 2024 | The Mariners placed Woo on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a right hamstring strain, Shannon Drayer of SeattleSports.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It's being classified as a low-grade strain, so perhaps Woo has a chance to return when his 15 days are up or shortly after. Emerson Hancock would normally be the obvious candidate to step into the Mariners' rotation in Woo's place, but his status is unclear after he exited his last start at Triple-A Tacoma with lower-back tightness. Jhonathan Diaz, who's struggled at the big-league level this season (5.06 ERA, 1.88 WHIP) but has an 8-1 record and 3.26 ERA at Tacoma, is another candidate. |
|
Jun 24 2024 | Woo was removed from Monday's game against the Rays due to right hamstring tightness. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Woo left his start with the team trainer after suffering what looked to be a right leg injury, and he's since been diagnosed with a hamstring issue. The team should have a better idea of whether he'll require a trip to the injured list after further evaluation, and he's set to undergo an MRI on Tuesday, per Daniel Kramer of MLB.com. |
|
Jun 19 2024 | Woo (3-1) took the loss to the Guardians on Wednesday, allowing three runs on four hits and one walk with one strikeout over four innings. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Woo struggled early, allowing an RBI single by Josh Naylor in the first inning and a two-run home run by Steven Kwan in the second. He rebounded with two scoreless innings but was pulled after just 64 pitches with a 3-0 deficit. Considering he hasn't pitched since June 6 with a forearm injury, the Mariners were likely just being cautious with Woo's workload. Woo still owns a sparkling 1.67 ERA and 0.61 WHIP in 37.1 innings, but his current 5.97 K/9 is well below his 9.55 rate last season. He tentatively lines up to face the Rays early next week. |
|
Jun 16 2024 | Woo (forearm) is expected to start Wednesday on the road against the Guardians, Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Woo was forced to miss his last scheduled start Tuesday versus the White Sox due to right forearm discomfort, but after a clean MRI, he appears set to return to the mound in Cleveland. The 24-year-old has produced a sparkling 1.07 ERA and 0.53 WHIP while striking out 24 batters over 33.2 innings in six starts this season. |
|
Jun 12 2024 | Mariners general manager Justin Hollander said Wednesday that the MRI on Woo's arm "was perfectly clean," and the right-hander could be reinserted into the rotation as early as next week, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 24-year-old was scratched ahead of his scheduled start Tuesday against the White Sox due to what the team labeled as a "right forearm issue," but he doesn't appear to be dealing with anything too serious. It's unclear when exactly Woo will make his next start, though it seems the Mariners will attempt to avoid putting him on the injured list. |
|
Jun 11 2024 | Woo was scratched from his scheduled start Tuesday against the White Sox as the Mariners await MRI results on his right arm, Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The right-hander missed the first six weeks of the season with elbow inflammation and is now potentially dealing with another arm issue a month later. Woo has been dominant in six starts for Seattle with a 1.07 ERA, 0.53 WHIP and 24:2 K:BB over 33.2 innings, but his outlook is now up in the air as he continues to be evaluated. |
|
Jun 7 2024 | Woo (3-0) picked up the win Thursday, allowing two hits and no walks with six strikeouts across six scoreless innings against Oakland. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Woo threw a season-high 85 pitches Thursday, an encouraging sign for the 24-year-old after he missed all of April with elbow inflammation and exited his first start after his IL stint with forearm tightness. Even with a restricted pitch count, the right-hander has generated four consecutive quality starts and has fired 12 straight scoreless innings, giving him a 1.07 ERA and 24:2 K:BB through 33.2 innings. Woo's tentatively scheduled to face the White Sox on Tuesday. |
|
May 31 2024 | Woo allowed three hits and struck out two without walking a batter over six scoreless innings in a no-decision versus the Angels on Friday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Woo needed just 66 pitches (47 strikes) to complete six frames, but that was all for his start. Trent Thornton and Taylor Saucedo combined to allow four runs in the seventh inning, wiping out the Mariners' lead and Woo's chance to earn his third win of the year, but this was still a stellar outing for the 24-year-old. He's now at a 1.30 ERA, 0.58 WHIP and 28:2 K:BB over 27.2 innings across five starts. The Mariners continue to manage his pitch count, but he's completed six innings in each of his last three starts thanks to his efficiency. Woo is projected for a road start in Oakland next week. |
|
May 26 2024 | Woo did not factor into the decision Sunday against Washington, allowing three earned runs on five hits and zero walks over six innings. He struck out one. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Woo finally showed some signs of weakness Sunday, surrendering his first home run of the season and allowing a season-high three earned runs. Even so, the 24-year-old needed just 70 pitches to notch his second consecutive quality start. Despite not topping 80 pitches in any outing this season, Woo sits at 2-0 with a sparkling 1.66 ERA and 0.60 WHIP in 21.2 innings this season. He is tentatively scheduled to start Friday's game against the Angels. |
|
May 21 2024 | Woo (2-0) earned the win Tuesday, yielding two hits and no walks with seven strikeouts across six scoreless innings against the Yankees. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Woo's been excellent to start 2024, allowing just one run across 15.2 innings after missing the first month of the campaign with elbow inflammation. The 24-year-old still seems to be on a pitch count, as he only threw 77 pitches Tuesday and hasn't exceeded 80 pitches in a start this year. He's projected to make another start Sunday at Washington. |
|
May 16 2024 | Woo (1-0) picked up the win in Wednesday's 4-2 victory over the Royals, allowing one run on three hits and a walk over 5.1 innings. He struck out five. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The right-hander pounded the zone, firing 60 of his 79 pitches for strikes, but after five scoreless innings Woo ran out of gas in the sixth and left the mound with runners on the corners and one out, clinging to a 2-1 lead. Gabe Speier was able to escape the jam, however, and the Seattle bullpen took care of the rest. Woo has been impressive in two starts since making his belated season debut, giving up just one run in 9.2 innings with an 8:2 K:BB, but he faces a tough test in his next outing -- a road start at Yankee Stadium early next week. |

May 13 2024 | The Mariners list Woo (forearm) as their probable starter for Wednesday's game against the Royals in Seattle. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Woo missed the first six weeks of the regular season with right elbow inflammation before returning from the 15-day injured list Friday after a trio of successful rehab starts. The right-hander was cruising through his first start of the season with the Mariners in Friday's 8-1 win over the Athletics, but he was lifted after 4.1 scoreless innings and 62 pitches upon experiencing forearm tightness. Though the fact that Woo is dealing with an injury that's seemingly related to the one that kept him on the shelf earlier this season isn't ideal, manager Scott Servais downplayed concern about the forearm issue after the game. The Mariners are still seemingly anticipating that Woo will be ready to go for his next turn through the rotation Wednesday, though fantasy managers will still want to keep tabs on his status leading up to the day of the game just to ensure the team hasn't scratched him from the start. |

May 10 2024 | Woo said Friday that he has been dealing with tightness in his forearm, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Woo's forearm had reportedly given him problems during his rehab assignment when he sat down for a long period of time between innings. The issue returned during the fifth inning of his start against the A's, causing him to be pulled as a precaution. Manager Scott Servais said he expects Woo to be fine, and the right-hander will likely be able to make his next start -- tentatively scheduled for Wednesday against Kansas City. |

May 9 2024 | Woo (elbow) is expected to be activated from the 15-day injured list to start Friday's game against the Athletics, Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Woo has been on the injured list all year due to right elbow inflammation, but he has now been given the green light to make his season debut with the Mariners. The 24-year-old righty did not give up a run through 11.1 innings during his three rehab starts at Triple-A Tacoma, and he managed to strikeout 17 batters while walking none. Emerson Hancock is expected to be optioned to Tacoma once Woo is activated. |

May 8 2024 | Woo (elbow) is expected to rejoin the Mariners' rotation during their upcoming homestand, Ryan Divish of the Seattle Times reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Manager Scott Servais wasn't ready to give an exact date for Woo's return but noted that it will be a day which would allow for an extra day of rest for the team's other starters. That would seem to point to Woo starting Friday against the Athletics, but the exact plans should be revealed soon. Emerson Hancock will be optioned to Triple-A Tacoma when Woo returns. |

May 5 2024 | Woo (elbow) struck out six and allowed three hits and no walks over five shutout innings in his third rehab start Saturday with Triple-A Tacoma. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Woo was about as sharp as the Mariners could have hoped in what was likely the final start of his rehab assignment, as he built up to 66 pitches (44 strikes) while making quick work of the Triple-A Sacramento lineup. Provided Woo experiences no complications with his right elbow during a bullpen session within the next couple of days, he should be cleared to return from the 15-day injured list to make his 2024 Mariners debut later this week. Emerson Hancock has been filling in as the Mariners' No. 5 starter while Woo has been out, but Seattle could have room in the rotation for both hurlers if George Kirby (knee) is forced to the 15-day IL. Woo is likely to be activated to start either Thursday in Minnesota or Friday at home versus the Athletics. |

Apr 27 2024 | Woo (elbow) fired 3.1 scoreless innings in a rehab start for Triple-A Tacoma against El Paso on Saturday, allowing two hits and recording six strikeouts. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Woo was impressive for the second time in as many rehab starts, locating 31 of his 49 pitches for strikes and keeping his ERA unblemished over 6.1 rehab innings overall. Per MLB.com, Woo threw all five of his pitches and topped out at 95 mph; according to general manager Justin Hollander, the plan is for the young right-hander to make at least one more rehab start with a goal of reaching 85 pitches, after which activation from the injured list would be considered. |

Apr 22 2024 | Woo (elbow) struck out five over three perfect innings in his first rehab start with Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Woo needed just 35 pitches to cruise through his three frames in a difficult pitching environment in Las Vegas. The velocity on his four-seamer was down a bit at 93.9 miles per hour, but that's not overly concerning considering it was his first game action in more than a month. Woo is in line for multiple rehab starts but could be ready to rejoin the Mariners rotation by early May. |

Apr 21 2024 | Woo (elbow) is making a rehab start with Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday in Las Vegas, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The right-hander went down with elbow inflammation late in spring training but has now been cleared for game action. Woo will likely require multiple starts in the minors before joining the Mariners, so he could make his season debut in early May. |
