Reid Detmers Dismantled by White Sox in Loss
by Matthew Adam | Angels Correspondent | Tue, Sep 17th 5:47am EDT
Reid Detmers struggled mightily in Monday's 8-4 defeat to the White Sox, surrendering seven earned runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out six over 5.1 innings.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance further inflates his already bloated ERA to 6.05 and continues a troubling trend of inconsistency this season. Despite a decent strikeout rate of 10.5 K/9, his high WHIP of 1.43 and ERA suggest that he's often been more generous than stingy with baserunners. Fantasy managers should view Detmers as a risky play, primarily useful in leagues that heavily reward strikeouts or as a streaming option against less formidable lineups. His ability to miss bats is evident, but his overall effectiveness remains hampered by frequent lapses in control and command.
