Carson Fulmer Stumbles Again in Loss to Royals
by Matthew Adam | Pirates Correspondent | Tue, Aug 20th 6:05am EDT
Carson Fulmer allowed two earned runs on five hits and three walks while striking out four over four innings in Monday's 5-3 loss to the Royals.
Fantasy Impact:
This outing was another chapter in Fulmer's challenging season, where inconsistency has been a recurring theme. His season ERA now sits at 4.24, and his WHIP at 1.29, which are hardly inspiring numbers for fantasy managers looking for reliability. The 4.88 FIP suggests he's been somewhat unlucky, but not enough to excuse all his struggles. With a strikeout rate of 8.6 K/9, he offers some appeal in deeper leagues or as a streaming option, but his lack of wins and high ERA make him a risky play in most formats.
