Eflin's Steady Effort Not Enough in Rays' Loss
by Jesse Garcia | Orioles Correspondent | Thu, Jul 25th 8:32am EDT
Zach Eflin pitched 5.2 innings, allowing two earned runs on six hits, striking out four without issuing a walk in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Blue Jays.
Fantasy Impact:
This outing was a solid, if unspectacular, performance for Eflin, who maintained control throughout his appearance by not walking any batters. His season ERA now sits at 4.09 with a WHIP of 1.16, reflecting a reliable option in fantasy rotations, particularly in terms of WHIP and control. However, his relatively low strikeout rate (7.1 K/9) continues to limit his ceiling in categories that reward strikeouts. Eflin's consistent ability to limit walks and keep the ball in play should keep him as a viable starting option in most formats, though his lack of dominant outings may cap his overall fantasy value.
