Mena Struggles in Debut, D-Backs Still Triumph Over Dodgers
by Jesse Garcia | Diamondbacks Correspondent | Thu, Jul 4th 8:40am EDT
Cristian Mena had a rough start, allowing four earned runs on four hits and three walks while striking out two over three innings in Wednesday's 12-4 win over the Dodgers.
Fantasy Impact:
This outing, marking his first major league start, ballooned his ERA to 12.00 and WHIP to 2.33, which are far from ideal indicators for fantasy managers. His 6.0 K/9 and low strikeout-to-walk ratio of 0.67 further dampen his immediate appeal in fantasy formats. Given these numbers and a staggering 13.59 FIP, fantasy managers should be wary of using Mena in their lineups until he shows signs of substantial improvement or a more favorable matchup presents itself.
