Joey Estes allowed three earned runs on five hits and two walks while striking out two over five innings in Saturday's 7-6 loss to the Mariners.
Fantasy Impact
This outing was a microcosm of Estes's season, characterized by moderate control but limited strikeout ability, as evidenced by his 6.5 K/9 rate. His season ERA now sits at an elevated 5.01, with a WHIP of 1.23, which are hardly inspiring numbers for fantasy managers. The lack of strikeouts and high ERA are significant concerns, diminishing his appeal in standard fantasy formats. Estes's performance this season suggests he's more of a depth option in deeper leagues, rather than a reliable starter in most fantasy rotations.
Joey Estes had a rough outing in Monday's 9-2 loss to the Cubs, allowing six earned runs on nine hits while striking out one over just one inning.
Fantasy Impact
This performance significantly dents his season metrics, pushing his ERA further north and casting doubts on his reliability in fantasy lineups. Given his season-long WHIP of 1.20 and a decent strikeout-to-walk ratio, Estes has shown potential, but outings like this highlight his volatility. Fantasy managers should be cautious and consider matchups carefully before slotting him into active rosters, especially in critical periods of the fantasy season.
Joey Estes helped the Athletics edge out a 5-4 win over the Astros, delivering a solid performance.
Fantasy Impact
He allowed two earned runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out two over 6.2 innings. This outing was a typical display of Estes's season, characterized by moderate strikeout numbers but effective control, as evidenced by his 3.67 strikeout-to-walk ratio and 1.13 WHIP. Despite a slightly elevated 4.36 ERA and 4.57 FIP indicating some underlying struggles, his ability to limit walks and maintain a low WHIP keeps him relevant in fantasy formats that value innings eaters and WHIP contributors. Estes's performance should reassure managers looking for steady, if not spectacular, starting options.
Joey Estes allowed four earned runs on six hits and zero walks while striking out three over four innings in Thursday's 6-4 loss to the Mariners.
Fantasy Impact
This outing marks a continuation of Estes's struggles to maintain consistency, as evidenced by his season ERA now sitting at 4.46. Despite a decent WHIP of 1.13, his inability to pitch deep into games and a modest strikeout rate of 7.0 K/9 limit his upside in fantasy formats. The lack of walks in this game is a small silver lining, but the four earned runs over just four innings highlight a vulnerability that could be worrisome for fantasy managers relying on him for quality starts. Estes's performance today does little to boost confidence in his fantasy relevance moving forward.
Joey Estes delivered a quality start but couldn't secure a win, allowing two earned runs on six hits and zero walks while striking out seven over six innings in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Rangers.
Fantasy Impact
Despite the loss, Estes's performance was a bright spot, showcasing his ability to control the game without issuing any free passes. His season ERA now stands at 4.29 with a commendable 1.11 WHIP, reflecting his efficiency in limiting base runners. However, his modest strikeout rate of 7.0 K/9 continues to cap his fantasy upside. Estes's consistent WHIP and improving control ratios suggest he can be a reliable option in deeper leagues, though his lack of dominant strikeout numbers might limit his appeal in shallower or strikeout-heavy formats.
