Eligibility
Hunter Brown allowed two runs on five hits over 4 1/3 innings with five strikeouts and four walks on Sunday against the Mariners.
Fantasy Impact
Brown allowed two runs on the afternoon, but it could have been a lot worse with all the runners he had on base including four walks. He still carries a 8.89 ERA in what has been a super slow start to the season for him.
Hunter Brown took the loss against the Nationals, allowing three runs on four hits across four innings.
Fantasy Impact
It was a late notice for Brown after Christian Javier was a late scratch. He allowed three runs in the first inning before he was able to settle in. He is scheduled to face the Rockies next.
Hunter Brown will get the start Sunday against the Nationals.
Fantasy Impact
Brown is starting in place of Christian Javier, who was scratched with neck discomfort. The 25-year-old has struggled this season, posting a 10.54 ERA and a 2.78 WHIP in four games this season.
Hunter Brown allowed two earned runs on five hits and three walks while striking out three over six innings in Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Braves.
Fantasy Impact
Brown came up with a decent rebound from a disastrous outing last time out. His ERA still sits at an ugly 10.54 with a WHIP of 2.78 through four starts. Fantasy managers should still probably consider other options until Brown shows a bit more consistency.
Hunter Brown's latest start against the Kansas City Royals was a disaster of epic proportions as he gave up nine earned runs, 11 hits and two walks while only getting two outs in 40 pitches thrown.
Fantasy Impact
Lasting a mere 0.2 innings, Brown was hammered for 11 hits and 9 earned runs, walking away with his second loss of the season in a humiliating 13-3 defeat. This outing ballooned his ERA to an astronomical 16.43 and his WHIP to 3.91 over three starts, numbers that would make even the most optimistic fantasy manager cringe. While his 9.4 K/9 indicates some level of underlying skill, the rest of Brown's stats paint a grim picture. Given this latest debacle, fantasy managers should be extremely wary of deploying Brown in any capacity until he shows some sign of substantial improvement. His high strikeout rate may tempt some, but his current form makes him a liability to any fantasy team's ERA and WHIP. Proceed with caution, if at all.
