Fantasy Impact

This outing did little to inspire confidence in fantasy managers, as Espino's season ERA ballooned to 8.31 with a WHIP of 2.08. His performance this season has been underwhelming, characterized by a low strikeout rate (3.12 K/9) and a high FIP, indicating that his struggles are not solely due to bad luck (.313 BABIP). Given these metrics, Espino remains a risky fantasy option, primarily in deeper leagues or as a desperation streamer, but his current form suggests limited upside.

Paolo Espino is expected to start for the Blue Jays on Wednesday.

Espino has allowed four runs across 4 2/3 innings in two relief appearances this season for Toronto. He is set to start on Wednesday.
