Javier Assad: Not Quite Sharp, Cubs Still Triumph
by Jesse Garcia | Cubs Correspondent | Wed, Aug 7th 10:07pm EDT
Javier Assad pitched four innings, allowing two earned runs on three hits and two walks while striking out one in Wednesday's 8-2 win over the Twins.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite a less-than-stellar performance where he struggled with control and failed to go deep into the game, Assad's outing didn't hurt the Cubs, thanks to their offensive support. With a season ERA of 3.24 and a WHIP of 1.36, Assad remains a viable fantasy option, though his low strikeout numbers (7.9 K/9) and BABIP (.279) suggest potential volatility.
