Taijuan Walker had a shaky outing, allowing two earned runs on four hits and two walks while striking out one over 3.1 innings in Thursday's narrow loss to the Mets.
Fantasy Impact
This performance, characterized by inefficiency and a high pitch count early in the game, continues a concerning trend for Walker this season. His ERA nudged up to 4.91, and with a WHIP of 1.41, he's allowing too many baserunners to be considered a reliable fantasy starter. The low strikeout rate of 6.5 K/9 further diminishes his appeal in categories that reward pitcher strikeouts. Fantasy managers should view Walker as a risky play, primarily useful in deeper leagues or as a streaming option when matchups are favorable. His inability to work deep into games also limits his potential for wins, despite a decent record so far.
