Is Triston McKenzie's 2021 season a success after his latest stellar start? Paul Hoynes and Joe Noga look at Triston McKenzie's impressive turnaround to his his 2021 campaign.
Tosses another quality start McKenzie (4-5) earned the win Thursday against the Royals after tossing six innings of one-run ball, allowing two hits and a walk while fanning six.
Impact McKenzie had a rough stretch between July 20 and Aug. 5, where he posted a 6.86 ERA on 21 innings across three outings, but he's been excellent since then with four straight quality starts while not allowing more than one earned run in each of his last three appearances. He owns a blistering 1.33 ERA on 27 innings across that four-game span, but more importantly, he looks completely recovered from the shoulder fatigue that landed him on the injured list last month.

Returning to start Thursday McKenzie (shoulder) will be activated from the 10-day injured list and start Thursday's game against the Royals.
Impact Apparently the righty's shoulder fatigue was not a serious injury, as he'll have spent the minimum amount of time on the IL. McKenzie is coming off two outstanding starts in which he threw 15 total innings with 19 strikeouts while allowing just three hits and one run. He's enjoyed incredible success in three starts against the Royals this season, allowing only one run in 15.2 total innings with 19 strikeouts.

Indians place RHP McKenzie on IL with shoulder fatigue
Cleveland Indians right-handed pitcher Triston McKenzie has been placed on the 10-day injured list because of shoulder fatigueAUGUST 25, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Lands on 10-day IL McKenzie was placed on the 10-day injured list with right shoulder fatigue Wednesday, retroactive to Aug. 22, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.
Impact McKenzie earned the win in his most recent start when he allowed a run on two hits and a walk while striking out eight in seven innings against the Angels on Saturday. However, he's apparently dealing with a shoulder issue that will force him to miss at least one turn through the rotation. Logan Allen was recalled from Triple-A Columbus in a corresponding move, and he's an option to take McKenzie's place in the rotation.

Turns in another strong outing McKenzie (3-5) earned the win over the Angels on Saturday. He allowed one run on two hits and a walk while striking out eight over seven-plus innings.
Impact The right-hander continues to impress of late, as he's strung together four straight quality starts. A fielder's choice in the eighth inning produced the only run the Angels could muster against McKenzie in the contest. The 24-year-old has lowered his ERA from 6.11 at the end of July to 4.83 after his recent hot streak. He's added a 1.15 WHIP and 107:47 K:BB in 91.1 innings overall. McKenzie is projected to draw a tough home start versus Boston in next weekend's three-game series.
