Gavin Williams stumbles against Brewers

Gavin Williams endured a rough outing, allowing five earned runs on six hits and two walks while striking out five over four innings in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Brewers.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance nudges his ERA to an unsettling 5.02 and his WHIP to 1.42 for the season, which are hardly the numbers fantasy managers are hoping for. Despite a decent strikeout rate of 9.8 K/9, his inconsistency in run prevention and a high BABIP suggest that hitters are finding ways to capitalize on his pitches. Williams's FIP stands at a more respectable 3.54, indicating some bad luck may be involved, but fantasy managers might still want to exercise caution. Relying on him in fantasy lineups could be risky unless he shows signs of substantial improvement.
