Shota Imanaga delivered a solid performance, allowing three earned runs on four hits and one walk while striking out eight over six innings in Friday's 7-6 victory over the Nationals.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite giving up a few runs, Imanaga's ability to maintain control and rack up strikeouts helped him secure his 11th win of the season. His season-long metrics, including a 3.14 ERA and a 1.05 WHIP, continue to make him a reliable option in fantasy rotations. His high strikeout rate (9.1 K/9) and excellent strikeout-to-walk ratio (6.43) further underscore his value. Fantasy managers should feel confident keeping Imanaga active, as he consistently demonstrates the ability to limit walks and hits, contributing positively to WHIP and ERA categories.
