Tyler Alexander

Tyler Alexander racked up seven strikeouts while allowing two earned runs over four innings in the Rays' 8-2 victory over the White Sox on Monday.

Fantasy Impact

Despite the solid strikeout numbers, Alexander's performance was marred by four hits and a walk, contributing to a less-than-stellar ERA and WHIP for the game. This outing reflects his season-long struggle with a high ERA of 4.96 and a WHIP of 1.38, which are concerning metrics for fantasy managers. His decent strikeout rate of 8.3 K/9 continues to be a silver lining, but his overall inconsistency makes him a risky play in most fantasy formats.

Tyler Alexander delivered a strong performance, allowing just two hits and one walk while striking out four over 5 1/3 scoreless innings in a loss to the Yankees.

Fantasy Impact

Despite his solid outing, Alexander's season stats — a 4.79 ERA and a 1.35 WHIP — suggest inconsistency. However, this latest performance could hint at a turning point, potentially lowering his ERA and improving his WHIP. His 7.0 K/9 and 5.87 FIP indicate there's still room for improvement, but today's game shows he can handle a tough lineup. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on him for potential spot starts or as a streaming option, especially if he continues to build on this outing.

Tyler Alexander will start on Friday against the Yankees.
