A.J. Puk pummeled by Cubs in rough outing
by Chris Schommer | Marlins Correspondent | Sat, Apr 20th 9:27am EDT
A.J. Puk had a night to forget, allowing seven earned runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out four over three innings in the Marlins' 8-3 loss to the Cubs.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance only inflates his already bloated ERA to 9.22 and WHIP to 2.63 for the season, signaling ongoing struggles in his pitching mechanics or perhaps an underlying issue not yet addressed. His strikeout rate remains mediocre at best, and with a strikeout-to-walk ratio that barely scrapes 0.71, fantasy managers should be wary of utilizing Puk in any but the most desperate of situations. His inability to limit base runners or prevent runs severely limits his fantasy appeal, making him a risky play in all formats.
