Sonny Gray's Rough Outing Dampens Stellar Season
by Matthew Adam | Cardinals Correspondent | Tue, Aug 13th 7:00am EDT
Sonny Gray endured a challenging night, allowing six earned runs on five hits and two walks while striking out nine over five innings in Monday's 6-1 loss to the Reds.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance is a stark contrast to his season-long excellence, which has featured a strong 3.93 ERA and a 1.08 WHIP across 22 starts. Despite the hiccup, Gray's high strikeout rate (11.2 K/9) and solid fielding independent pitching (3.23 FIP) suggest he remains a valuable asset in fantasy leagues. However, this outing could raise concerns about his consistency heading into the final stretch of the fantasy season. Managers should monitor his next few starts closely but keep him active based on his overall body of work this year.
