James McArthur Seals the Deal in Royals' Victory
by Matthew Adam | Royals Correspondent | Tue, Jul 30th 6:26am EDT
James McArthur tossed a perfect inning to notch his 18th save in the Royals' 8-5 win over the White Sox on Monday.
Fantasy Impact:
He needed just 10 pitches to secure the final frame without allowing any hits, walks, or runs, although he didn't record any strikeouts. Despite a rocky season with a 5.31 ERA and a 1.42 WHIP, McArthur's performance in this outing might offer a glimmer of hope for fantasy managers. His ability to convert saves, now totaling 18, keeps him relevant in leagues that value closers. However, his high ERA and WHIP, coupled with a modest strikeout rate, suggest that relying on him could be a risky proposition. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his outings closely, especially in leagues where every point counts.
