Graceffo Struggles in Short Outing Against Royals
by Jesse Garcia | Cardinals Correspondent | Thu, Jul 11th 8:55am EDT
Gordon Graceffo endured a tough game, allowing three earned runs on four hits while striking out two over 3.1 innings in Wednesday's 8-5 loss to the Royals.
Fantasy Impact:
This outing pushed his ERA to 4.70 and WHIP to 1.17 for the season, which are hardly inspiring numbers for fantasy managers. His performance today, characterized by a lack of control and inability to go deep into the game, may raise concerns about his reliability in fantasy lineups. With a modest strikeout rate of 7.0 K/9 and a FIP of 4.17 that suggests his struggles are somewhat reflective of his true performance, Graceffo's role as a viable fantasy starter remains questionable. Fantasy managers should monitor his next few starts closely but might want to consider other options with more upside or consistency.
