Brandon Pfaadt struggles in loss to Astros

Brandon Pfaadt endured a rough outing, allowing four earned runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out five over 4.2 innings in Friday's 8-0 loss to the Astros.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance slightly inflates his season ERA to 4.42 and WHIP to 1.22, which are modest setbacks for fantasy managers relying on his typically steadier outputs. Given his solid season-long metrics, including a commendable 8.7 K/9 and a 4.44 strikeout-to-walk ratio, this game seems more like a bump in the road rather than a trend. However, his susceptibility to high-impact innings, as evidenced today, could be a concern in matchups against high-scoring teams. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on his ability to bounce back in subsequent starts but might want to be cautious in his more challenging matchups.
