Plagued by injuries to both their rotation and position player corps this season, the team’s already starting to get some good news with the returns of Edward Cabrera to the rotation and catcher Christian Bethancourt to the lineup.
Puk, who turns 29 today, made the first four starts of his five-year major league career to open the 2024 season. They didn’t go particularly well, with Puk amassing a 0-4 record and 9.22 ERA in just 13.2 innings. He gave up seventeen runs in those innings, with just 12 strikeouts. While a slight reduction in his strikeout rate was expected, going from 11.2 as a back-end relief option to 7.9 as a starter shows how much his ‘stuff’ regressed - Puk went from averaging 95.8 on his fastball and backing it up with a mid-80s sweeper to only 93.3 on the heater, a reduction of 2.5 mph. The batting average allowed on Puk’s sinker skyrocketed from .273 to .545, and hitters have already slugged .909 on the pitch.
