DJ Herz shines in Nationals' victory
by Chris Schommer | Nationals Correspondent | Sat, Sep 14th 8:57am EDT
DJ Herz delivered a strong performance, allowing just one earned run on four hits and one walk while striking out five over five innings in Friday's 4-1 win over the Marlins.
Fantasy Impact:
This outing was a bright spot in what has been a somewhat turbulent season for Herz, characterized by a decent ERA of 3.70 and a solid 11.0 K/9 rate, but hampered by a less-than-stellar win-loss record. His ability to maintain a high strikeout rate and a reasonable WHIP of 1.21 suggests potential for fantasy relevance, particularly in leagues that value strikeouts. However, his win potential might be limited by the Nationals' overall performance. Fantasy managers should consider Herz a viable option in deeper leagues or as a streaming candidate when matchups are favorable, given his ability to rack up strikeouts and generally keep runs off the board.
