Kumar Rocker Stumbles in Short Outing Against Blue Jays
by Chase Davis | Rangers Correspondent | Fri, Sep 20th 8:44am EDT
Kumar Rocker took the loss Thursday, yielding one earned run on two hits and four walks while striking out five over three innings against the Blue Jays.
Fantasy Impact:
Rocker's brief appearance was marred by control issues, as evidenced by his high walk total, which contributed to an early exit after just 71 pitches. Despite a promising 15.4 K/9 rate and a solid 2.57 ERA over his first two starts, his WHIP has ballooned to 1.57, largely due to his inability to limit walks. Rocker's high strikeout totals make him a tantalizing option in fantasy leagues, but his control problems and high FIP (4.69) suggest potential volatility. Fantasy managers should monitor his next outings closely, as improved command could make him a valuable asset, while continued struggles might necessitate a more cautious approach.
