Mason Black stumbles again in loss to Padres

Mason Black allowed four earned runs on six hits and one walk while striking out six over 4 2/3 innings in Friday's 5-1 loss to the Padres.
Fantasy Impact:
This outing continues a troubling trend for Black, whose season ERA now balloons to an unsettling 7.50, paired with a WHIP of 1.63 across his starts. Despite a decent strikeout rate of 8.3 K/9, his high ERA and WHIP are red flags for fantasy managers. The elevated .347 BABIP suggests some bad luck, but a FIP of 6.05 indicates that underlying performance issues are indeed present. Fantasy managers should be wary of relying on Black in their lineups, as his current form offers more risk than reward.
