View More News**Javier Assad: Steady Hand in Cubs' Victory**
Javier Assad delivered a solid performance, allowing just one earned run on four hits and a walk while striking out five over 5.2 innings in the Cubs' 3-1 win over the Astros.
Fantasy Impact
This outing continues a strong start to the season for Assad, who now boasts a 2.00 ERA and a 1.00 WHIP through five starts. His ability to maintain a solid strikeout rate (8.7 K/9) while keeping walks and hits low is a boon for fantasy managers looking for reliable starting options. The low BABIP (.239) suggests some luck, but his FIP (3.29) indicates that his performance is largely sustainable. Moving forward, fantasy managers should roll with the hot hand given his consistent early-season form.
