Rob Whalen receives lost in first MLB start
by Kevin Black | Sun, May 28th 12:01am EDT
Rob Whalen was given a spot start in the Seattle Mariners rotation on Saturday and took his first loss of the season. Whalen lasted 5 1/3 innings against the Boston Red Sox, as he surrendered five earned runs in the outing. Boston knocked around Whalen for seven hits, walked twice, and Jackie Bradley Jr. jacked a two run home run in the sixth.
Fantasy Impact:
Rob Whalen is not a fantasy commodity. Despite being just 23, there is not too much upside here. He was called up to serve as a long-reliever and does not feature anything special in his repertoire. His fastball is not overpowering, his slider is average, and he may struggle without a putout pitch at this level.
