Calvin Faucher Shines in Tight Relief Outing

Calvin Faucher delivered a flawless performance in Tuesday's nail-biter against the Rockies, striking out three in a clean inning of work.
Fantasy Impact:
Faucher's outing was a bright spot in a high-scoring affair, as he did not allow a hit, walk, or run over his one inning pitched. This performance should bolster his standing in fantasy circles, especially in leagues that value relievers for holds and strikeouts. Despite a somewhat elevated WHIP and BABIP on the season, his impressive K/9 and FIP suggest that he has the underlying skills to overcome hits allowed and maintain his effectiveness. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues or those in need of strikeouts could find Faucher's recent form particularly appealing.
