Bradley Blalock

Bradley Blalock struggled mightily in Tuesday's 11-0 loss to the Tigers, allowing four earned runs on five hits and five walks while striking out four over four innings.

Fantasy Impact

This performance further inflates his already troubling 5.87 ERA and 1.79 WHIP for the season. His inability to control the strike zone, evidenced by a mere 1.00 strikeout-to-walk ratio, continues to hamper his effectiveness and fantasy viability. Given these persistent issues, fantasy managers should be wary of relying on Blalock in any format, as his high ERA and WHIP are likely to negatively impact their team's pitching stats significantly.

Bradley Blalock endured a rough outing, allowing four earned runs on four hits and six walks while striking out two over five innings in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Braves.

Fantasy Impact

This performance, marked by control issues and limited strikeouts, inflates his ERA to 5.40 and WHIP to 1.69 for the season. The high number of walks and low strikeout count from this game further exacerbates concerns about his fantasy viability, especially considering his modest 5.4 K/9 rate. Fantasy managers should be wary of relying on him in their rotations, given these underlying metrics and his performance trend.

Bradley Blalock struggled mightily in Thursday's 12-8 loss to the Marlins, surrendering six earned runs on nine hits and one walk while striking out three over four innings.

Fantasy Impact

This performance certainly didn't help his already middling season stats, pushing his ERA closer to 5.00 and his WHIP to an unsettling 1.62. The right-hander's inability to limit hits and runs this season, coupled with a low strikeout rate of 5.8 K/9, makes him a risky fantasy option. Given his high 4.55 FIP and a BABIP of .320, it's clear that Blalock hasn't been fooling many hitters, and fantasy managers should be wary of using him in their lineups.

Bradley Blalock earned his first win of the season, allowing two earned runs on five hits and four walks while striking out five over 5 1/3 innings in Saturday's 9-2 victory over the Yankees.

Fantasy Impact

Despite a somewhat shaky WHIP of 1.42 and a modest strikeout rate of 5.6 K/9 this season, Blalock's performance against a strong Yankees lineup should reassure fantasy managers. His ERA now improves to 3.06, and while his strikeout-to-walk ratio remains a concern at 1.38, his ability to limit damage and secure wins in favorable matchups makes him a potential streaming option in deeper leagues or formats that heavily reward wins. Keep an eye on his control in future outings, as any improvement there could significantly boost his fantasy value.
