by Jesse Garcia | Yankees Correspondent | Thu, Aug 29th 7:33am EDT
Carlos Rodon struggled in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Nationals, surrendering five earned runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out eight over 5.2 innings.
Fantasy Impact:
This outing nudged his ERA up to 4.31 and WHIP to 1.25 for the season, slightly tarnishing what has been a solid year with a 9.9 K/9 and a 3.43 strikeout-to-walk ratio. Despite the setback, Rodon's high strikeout rate continues to offer fantasy value, but his susceptibility to rough outings like this one can be a concern for managers relying on him for consistent starts. His performance today reflects a potential volatility in matchups against high-scoring teams, suggesting a cautious approach in his deployment in fantasy lineups.
