Adrian Houser

Adrian Houser had a rough outing allowing four earned runs on four hits and four walks while striking out just two over five innings in Thursday's narrow 7-6 loss to the Mets.

Fantasy Impact

This performance continues a concerning trend for Houser, whose season ERA ballooned to an unsettling 8.16, accompanied by a WHIP of 1.85 across six starts. His strikeout rate remains low at 5.0 K/9, and a poor strikeout-to-walk ratio of 0.80 does little to inspire confidence. Given these metrics, fantasy managers should be wary of relying on Houser in any but the deepest of leagues or perhaps as a desperate streaming option, depending on the matchup. His high ERA and WHIP are particularly damaging in categories leagues, making him a risky play in most formats.

Adrian Houser struggled mightily in Saturday's 7-4 loss to the Cardinals, surrendering six earned runs on nine hits and two walks while striking out only two over 4.1 innings.

Fantasy Impact

This performance continues a troubling trend for Houser, whose season ERA ballooned to an alarming 8.37, accompanied by a WHIP of 1.90. His inability to miss bats, evidenced by a paltry 5.3 K/9, combined with a high BABIP of .346, suggests that luck hasn't been entirely to blame for his struggles. Fantasy managers should be extremely cautious with Houser moving forward, as his high ERA and WHIP are detrimental in almost all formats, and his low strikeout numbers offer little to no consolation.

Adrian Houser battled through control issues in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Mets, allowing two earned runs on just two hits and five walks while striking out five over 5.1 innings.

Fantasy Impact

Despite limiting hits, Houser's five walks significantly contributed to his early exit and inflated pitch count, reflecting ongoing struggles with command this season. His ERA slightly improved to 4.70, but a WHIP of 1.50 and a low strikeout rate of 5.3 K/9 continue to limit his fantasy appeal. The high walk rate and modest strikeout totals make Houser a risky play in most fantasy formats, particularly in leagues that penalize for walks or prioritize strikeouts.

Adrian Houser allowed one run on three hits across five innings with three strikeouts and three walks in a no-decision against the Tigers.

Fantasy Impact

Despite walking three hitters, Houser was able to limit the damage to just one run against him. He likely remains off the fantasy radar, but could be a player to monitor.
