Allan Winans struggled mightily, surrendering seven earned runs on six hits and two walks while striking out three over just 2.2 innings in Wednesday's 9-4 defeat to the Reds.

Fantasy Impact

This outing only deepened the woes in what has been a challenging season for Winans, whose ERA ballooned to an alarming 15.26 after today's game. With a WHIP now standing at 2.35 and a low strikeout rate of 4.7 K/9, his fantasy relevance is plummeting. Given these numbers, it's hard to justify keeping him in any fantasy lineup, barring a significant turnaround. His high BABIP of .367 suggests some bad luck, but not enough to excuse the overall poor performance. Fantasy managers should consider other options moving forward.
