Kumar Rocker Stumbles in Loss to Athletics
by Chase Davis | Rangers Correspondent | Fri, Sep 27th 8:30am EDT
Kumar Rocker took the loss Thursday, allowing three earned runs on seven hits while striking out two over 4.2 innings against the Athletics.
Fantasy Impact:
The outing was a bit of a step back for Rocker, who has shown some promise early in the season with a solid strikeout rate and a decent ERA. However, his WHIP and BABIP indicate that he's been somewhat vulnerable to hits, a trend that continued in this game. Moving forward, fantasy managers should be cautious, as his high BABIP and WHIP could lead to more rough outings if he doesn't find a way to limit base hits. His strikeout ability keeps him relevant, but he remains a risky play in mixed leagues.
