Randy Vasquez Steadies Ship, Padres Sink Cardinals
by Matthew Adam | Padres Correspondent | Tue, Aug 27th 5:41am EDT
Randy Vasquez delivered a solid outing, allowing two earned runs on six hits and two walks while striking out two over six innings in Monday's 7-4 victory over the Cardinals.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance slightly lowers his season ERA to 4.52 and WHIP to 1.49, which are still higher than ideal for fantasy managers. His low strikeout rate of 5.6 K/9 continues to limit his upside in categories that reward strikeouts. However, his ability to secure a win and pitch effectively enough to keep his team in games can still make him a viable streaming option in deeper leagues or formats that heavily reward wins. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his outings closely, as his high BABIP suggests some bad luck, possibly indicating room for improvement as the season progresses.
