Kyle Hendricks stumbles against Royals

Kyle Hendricks allowed six earned runs over five innings in a 6-0 loss to the Royals on Friday.
Fantasy Impact:
He surrendered eight hits and struck out four without issuing a walk. This outing only inflates Hendricks's already bloated ERA to 6.95 and WHIP to 1.49 for the season, signaling ongoing struggles. His inability to suppress runs or limit hits severely dampens his fantasy relevance, and with a K/9 of just 6.3, he's not making up ground in the strikeout category either. Fantasy managers should view Hendricks as a risky play at best, given his current form and underlying metrics.
