Porter Hodge delivered a flawless inning in Friday's tight 1-0 victory over the Reds.
Fantasy Impact:
He threw eight pitches, striking out one and allowing no hits, walks, or runs in his one inning of work. Hodge's performance continues to bolster his already impressive season stats, maintaining a 1.93 ERA and a 0.90 WHIP. His ability to maintain such efficiency, especially in high-pressure situations, enhances his value in fantasy leagues, particularly those that reward holds and low WHIP. Given his consistent strikeout rate (10.9 K/9) and excellent control (2.68 K/BB ratio), Hodge remains a reliable option for fantasy managers looking for steady bullpen contributions. His role in the Cubs' bullpen appears secure, making him a solid pick in deeper leagues.
