Chris Stratton

Chris Stratton notched a save in the Royals' narrow 3-2 victory over the Athletics.

Fantasy Impact

Chris Stratton threw six pitches in a clean outing, allowing no hits, walks, or runs, and recorded no strikeouts. This performance marks his fourth save of the season, slightly polishing his otherwise middling 4.83 ERA and 1.20 WHIP. While Stratton's save opportunities have been limited, his ability to close games without incident could argue for more chances, though his high ERA and modest strikeout rate may still keep fantasy managers wary. His role in high-leverage situations seems secure for now, but consistency will be key to his fantasy relevance.

Chris Stratton earned a save in the Royals' 8-3 victory over the Tigers, delivering 1.1 scoreless innings with one strikeout.

Fantasy Impact

This performance was a clean slate for Stratton, who has been struggling with a less-than-stellar 4.95 ERA and a 1.35 WHIP throughout the season. His outing today, free from hits, walks, and runs, might hint at a potential turnaround, but fantasy managers should remain cautious. Stratton's season-long metrics, including a modest 7.7 K/9 and a high 4.81 FIP, suggest that he might not consistently deliver high-impact performances. While today's save adds a bit to his value, his overall volatility makes him a risky fantasy play.

Chris Stratton earned a save in the Royals' narrow 3-2 victory over the Brewers, despite allowing two walks in his inning of work.

Fantasy Impact

While he managed to keep the Brewers scoreless, his performance was far from clean, reflecting ongoing control issues that have contributed to a less-than-stellar 5.40 ERA and 1.53 WHIP this season. Stratton's save opportunities may continue given his role, but fantasy managers should remain wary of his high WHIP and low strikeout rate. His current stats suggest he's a risky play, best suited for deeper leagues where saves are at a premium.
