Javier Assad struggles in short outing against Cardinals
by Chris Schommer | Cubs Correspondent | Sun, Jul 14th 7:41am EDT
Javier Assad had a rough outing, allowing three earned runs on seven hits and two walks over just 2 1/3 innings in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Cardinals.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance was a noticeable blip in what has been a solid season for Assad, who entered the game with a respectable 3.27 ERA and a 1.35 WHIP. His inability to strike out a single batter during this appearance, coupled with the high number of hits and walks allowed in such a short span, could raise concerns about his consistency and durability moving forward. Fantasy managers should monitor his next few starts closely to see if this game was just an anomaly or a sign of underlying issues that could affect his performance and fantasy value.
