Javier Assad's Decent Outing Not Enough for Cubs
by Matthew Adam | Cubs Correspondent | Tue, Jun 18th 6:39am EDT
Javier Assad delivered a solid performance, allowing just one earned run on five hits and two walks while striking out seven over five innings in Monday's 7-6 loss to the Giants.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite Assad's efforts, the Cubs couldn't capitalize enough to secure the win. With a season ERA now standing at 2.75 and a WHIP of 1.25, Assad continues to be a reliable option for fantasy managers, especially considering his 9.0 K/9 rate. His ability to maintain a low ERA and a decent strikeout rate makes him a valuable asset in most fantasy formats, though his win potential is often at the mercy of the Cubs' inconsistent offense.
