Jack Flaherty struggled to find his best form, allowing three earned runs on four hits and three walks while striking out five over five innings in Wednesday's narrow 4-3 victory against the Padres.

Fantasy Impact

Despite not factoring into the decision, Flaherty's performance was a bit of a stumble, especially considering his solid season statistics, including a 3.17 ERA and a 1.07 WHIP. His inability to go deeper into the game could raise concerns about his stamina as the season winds down, but his high strikeout rate (10.8 K/9) and excellent strikeout-to-walk ratio (5.11) continue to keep him relevant in all fantasy formats. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on his next outings to see if this game was just a minor blip or a sign of a larger trend.

Jack Flaherty turned in a solid performance, allowing three earned runs on five hits and two walks while striking out five over six innings in Thursday's 20-4 rout of the Marlins.

Fantasy Impact

This outing, which resulted in his 13th win of the season, exemplifies his consistent ability to manage games effectively, even when not at his sharpest. With a season ERA now slightly increased to 3.10 and a WHIP holding steady at 1.06, Flaherty remains a top-tier fantasy option. His robust 10.8 K/9 and 5.40 strikeout-to-walk ratio continue to provide fantasy managers with high strikeout upside and reliable performance. Despite the three runs, his ability to limit damage and secure wins in high-scoring games like this one should keep him firmly in the upper echelon of fantasy starting pitchers.
