Junis Stumbles, Reds Fall to Guardians 5-2
by Jesse Garcia | Thu, Sep 26th 6:22am EDT
Jakob Junis delivered a mixed outing, allowing two earned runs on four hits and one walk while striking out three over five innings in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Guardians.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite the loss, Junis maintained a solid season ERA of 2.69 and a WHIP of 0.85, indicators of his overall effectiveness this year. His performance today, while not disastrous, did show some cracks, particularly in failing to go deeper into the game, which could be a concern for fantasy managers relying on him for more innings and strikeouts. With a K/9 of 6.9 and a FIP of 3.78, Junis remains a viable fantasy option, but today's game highlights some potential volatility in his starts. His low BABIP of .224 suggests some luck has been involved in his successful outings, which might not sustain. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on his next starts to see if adjustments are made or if patterns of shorter outings continue.
