Javier Assad struggled in Friday's 9-5 loss to the Rockies, allowing four earned runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out five over six innings.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance slightly tarnished his otherwise solid season stats, which include a 3.27 ERA and a 1.36 WHIP over 27 starts. The increase in his ERA and WHIP after this game could raise concerns among fantasy managers about his reliability during the critical final weeks of the fantasy season. Given his season-long metrics like a 4.57 FIP and a modest 7.6 K/9, Assad's ability to bounce back in his next outings will be crucial for those relying on him as a mid-rotation fantasy starter.
