Tanner Gordon Stumbles Against Nationals

Tanner Gordon struggled mightily in Wednesday's 6-1 loss to the Nationals.
Fantasy Impact:
He allowed five earned runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out two over four innings. This outing inflates his already elevated ERA to 7.55 and continues a troubling trend for the season. With a WHIP of 1.58 and a BABIP of .357, Gordon's underlying metrics suggest he hasn't been much a victim of bad luck, but rather is genuinely struggling to find his form. Fantasy managers should consider these indicators seriously, as his high ERA and WHIP are damaging to fantasy lineups, and his low strikeout numbers don't offer much in terms of consolation. Gordon remains a risky play in all formats until he shows signs of substantial improvement.
