Mason Black's struggles continue in loss to Padres

Mason Black endured another tough outing, allowing one earned run on six hits and a walk while striking out two over four innings in Saturday's 8-0 loss to the Padres.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite a slightly better performance in terms of runs allowed, Black's inability to go deep into games continues to hurt his fantasy value. His season ERA now sits at an inflated 6.75, with a WHIP of 1.64, both of which are red flags for fantasy managers. The low strikeout rate (7.7 K/9) combined with a high FIP (6.08) suggests ongoing struggles, and his high BABIP (.345) indicates he's been somewhat unlucky, but not enough to suggest a significant turnaround. Fantasy managers should be wary of relying on Black in their lineups, as his current form offers little in terms of reliability or upside.
