Joe Musgrove Muddles Through, Padres Fall to Dodgers
by Chase Davis | Padres Correspondent | Fri, Sep 27th 8:11am EDT
Joe Musgrove had a middling outing, allowing two earned runs on five hits and one walk while striking out six over 6.1 innings in Thursday's 7-2 loss to the Dodgers.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite a decent strikeout count and managing to limit walks, Musgrove's effort wasn't enough to keep the Padres competitive in this matchup. His season ERA slightly increased to 3.88 and his WHIP remained steady at 1.17, reflecting a consistent year. However, his FIP of 4.05 suggests some underlying issues that could be of concern for fantasy managers relying on him as a stable arm. Given the mixed results and his moderate K/9 rate, Musgrove should be viewed as a mid-tier fantasy option, best utilized in favorable matchups.
