Dane Dunning stumbles in short outing
by Chris Schommer | Rangers Correspondent | Sun, Sep 22nd 7:19am EDT
Dane Dunning struggled through just 3 2/3 innings, allowing two earned runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out five in Saturday's 8-4 loss to the Mariners.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance underscores a troubling season for Dunning, whose ERA nudged further north to an unappealing 5.36. His inability to pitch deep into games, coupled with a high WHIP of 1.46, continues to erode his fantasy viability. While his strikeout rate remains decent at 8.6 K/9, the lack of control and propensity for allowing hits are red flags. Fantasy managers should view Dunning as a risky play.
