Carson Fulmer delivered a solid performance, albeit in a losing effort, as the Angels fell 3-1 to the Blue Jays on Saturday.

Fantasy Impact

He allowed two earned runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out eight over six innings. Despite this strong outing, Fulmer's season has been marred by a lack of support, keeping him winless through eight starts. His 4.15 ERA and 1.31 WHIP are respectable, but his 0-5 record and high FIP of 4.64 suggest some underlying issues. Fantasy managers should appreciate his strikeout ability, evidenced by his 8.9 K/9 rate, but the lack of wins and high FIP might make him a risky play depending on the matchup.

Carson Fulmer allowed two earned runs on five hits and three walks while striking out four over four innings in Monday's 5-3 loss to the Royals.

Fantasy Impact

This outing was another chapter in Fulmer's challenging season, where inconsistency has been a recurring theme. His season ERA now sits at 4.24, and his WHIP at 1.29, which are hardly inspiring numbers for fantasy managers looking for reliability. The 4.88 FIP suggests he's been somewhat unlucky, but not enough to excuse all his struggles. With a strikeout rate of 8.6 K/9, he offers some appeal in deeper leagues or as a streaming option, but his lack of wins and high ERA make him a risky play in most formats.

Carson Fulmer had a lackluster outing in Wednesday's 8-2 victory against the Yankees, allowing two earned runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out only one over four innings.

Fantasy Impact

Despite the Angels' comfortable win, Fulmer's performance did little to reassure fantasy managers about his reliability as a starting option. His season ERA of 3.74 and WHIP of 1.20 are respectable, but his low strikeout total from this game and a modest K/9 rate of 8.6 suggest limited upside in categories that reward pitcher strikeouts. Additionally, his FIP of 4.46 indicates potential underlying issues that could inflate his ERA if his BABIP normalizes from its current low level. Fantasy managers should tread carefully, as Fulmer's role in the rotation might not translate into consistent fantasy production.
