Fulmer Falters, Angels Still Triumph Over Yankees
by Jesse Garcia | Pirates Correspondent | Thu, Aug 8th 8:02am EDT
Carson Fulmer had a lackluster outing in Wednesday's 8-2 victory against the Yankees, allowing two earned runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out only one over four innings.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite the Angels' comfortable win, Fulmer's performance did little to reassure fantasy managers about his reliability as a starting option. His season ERA of 3.74 and WHIP of 1.20 are respectable, but his low strikeout total from this game and a modest K/9 rate of 8.6 suggest limited upside in categories that reward pitcher strikeouts. Additionally, his FIP of 4.46 indicates potential underlying issues that could inflate his ERA if his BABIP normalizes from its current low level. Fantasy managers should tread carefully, as Fulmer's role in the rotation might not translate into consistent fantasy production.
