Lorenzen Struggles Mightily in Loss to Angels

Michael Lorenzen had a rough outing against the Los Angeles Angels, surrendering five earned runs on five hits and four walks while striking out three over five innings in Wednesday's 7-2 defeat.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance marked a significant deviation from his relatively solid season stats, pushing his ERA and WHIP in the wrong direction. With a season ERA now ballooned to 3.52 and a WHIP that has crept up to 1.22, Lorenzen's recent struggles could be a red flag for fantasy managers. His low strikeout rate of 6.4 K/9 continues to limit his upside, and a FIP of 5.28 suggests that his earlier season success might have been overperforming. Fantasy managers should monitor his next few outings closely, as continued performances like this could make him a liability rather than an asset.
