James Paxton Shines in Scoreless Outing
by Matthew Adam | Dodgers Correspondent | Tue, Jun 25th 6:54am EDT
James Paxton delivered a strong performance, allowing no earned runs on three hits and three walks while striking out six over five innings in Monday's 3-0 victory over the White Sox.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite not factoring into the decision, Paxton's outing was a testament to his ability to navigate through tough situations, especially given his season-long struggles with a high FIP of 4.89 and a modest K/9 rate of 6.2. His season ERA now improves to 3.39, which, coupled with a solid WHIP of 1.30, should keep him relevant in fantasy circles. However, his low strikeout rate and high FIP suggest potential volatility, so fantasy managers should continue to monitor his performances closely, particularly in terms of his command and ability to limit walks.
