Gerrit Cole struggles, Yanks still dominate Red Sox
by Chris Schommer | Yankees Correspondent | Sun, Jul 7th 6:30am EDT
Gerrit Cole had a rough outing, allowing four earned runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out eight over 4 1/3 innings in Saturday's 14-4 win over the Red Sox.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite the Yankees' offensive explosion ensuring a team victory, Cole's personal performance continues to be a concern for fantasy managers. His ERA ballooned to 6.75 with a WHIP of 1.62 through four starts this season, signaling ongoing struggles. While his strikeout rate remains high at 9.9 K/9, his elevated FIP of 6.55 and poor strikeout-to-walk ratio suggest that he's not just unlucky but also ineffective. Fantasy managers should be wary of starting him in critical matchups until he shows signs of substantial improvement.
