Ben Lively struggles, Guardians still triumph

Ben Lively had a rough outing in Friday's 10-8 victory over the Pirates.

Fantasy Impact:

He surrendered six earned runs on nine hits and one walk while striking out three over 4 1/3 innings. Despite the Guardians pulling off a win, Lively's performance was less than stellar, marking a blip in what has been a relatively solid season. With a 3.92 ERA and a 1.23 WHIP coming into the game, this performance could be a concern for fantasy managers relying on him for stable stats. His elevated 4.89 FIP suggests some underlying issues that might not bode well if they persist. Fantasy managers should monitor his next few starts closely for signs of either recovery or further regression.
