Javier Assad delivered a stellar performance, allowing no earned runs on four hits and one walk while striking out seven over six innings in Wednesday's 7-1 victory against the Braves.
Fantasy Impact:
This outing continues Assad's impressive season, where he now boasts a 1.49 ERA and a 1.03 WHIP through 10 starts. His ability to maintain a low ERA and WHIP, coupled with a solid 7.8 K/9 rate, makes him a valuable asset in fantasy leagues. The consistency shown by maintaining a low BABIP (.248) and a strong strikeout-to-walk ratio (2.80) suggests that Assad could be a reliable starter for fantasy teams looking for quality innings and decent strikeout numbers. His performance today only solidifies his status as a top-tier fantasy option moving forward.
