Alex Faedo allowed one earned run and struck out one in his one-inning appearance against the Mariners.
Fantasy Impact
Despite not allowing any hits, Faedo's control was off, as evidenced by the four walks he issued during his stint. This performance, characterized by high walks, continues to inflate his WHIP and FIP, which stand at 1.35 and 4.95 respectively. His season-long issues with command and a mediocre strikeout-to-walk ratio of 2.00 are concerning for fantasy managers relying on him for holds and ratio support. Given these persistent control issues, Faedo remains a risky play in most fantasy formats, especially in leagues that penalize for walks.
Alex Faedo struggled with his command in a shaky outing against the Giants, allowing three walks while striking out one in a scoreless inning.
Fantasy Impact
Despite not giving up any hits, Faedo's inability to control the strike zone was evident, as he needed 31 pitches to get through the inning. This performance reflects ongoing issues this season, highlighted by a less-than-ideal 4.89 FIP and a high walk rate that continues to inflate his WHIP to 1.30. While his ERA stands at 3.62, fantasy managers should be wary of his volatility, particularly in high-leverage situations given his history of blown saves and the lack of save opportunities. His strikeout rate is decent, but the poor command could undermine his value in leagues that penalize for walks.
