Fantasy Impact

Olson struggled to miss opposing bats Saturday night, including allowing a first-inning home run to Freddie Freeman. The right-hander will be a key part of a Detroit rotation that will look to bounce back from a rough start to the season moving forward.

Reese Olson delivered a middling performance in Thursday's narrow 4-3 victory over the Rays, tossing 72 pitches across four innings while allowing four hits and two earned runs.

Fantasy Impact

He struck out three batters and issued no walks. Despite not factoring into the decision, Olson's outing was a mixed bag. His ability to avoid walks was a positive takeaway, aligning with his solid season-long WHIP of 1.18 and a commendable strikeout-to-walk ratio of 3.06. However, his inability to pitch deeper into the game continues to cap his fantasy value, particularly in formats that reward innings pitched and quality starts. Olson's ERA and FIP suggest he's been reasonably effective this season, but his fantasy managers might still be craving more in terms of volume and win potential.

Reese Olson allowed one earned run on one hit and one walk while striking out three over three innings in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Orioles.

Fantasy Impact

Despite a concise outing, Olson managed to maintain decent control, though he didn't factor into the decision. His performance this season, marked by a solid 3.49 ERA and a 1.19 WHIP across 21 starts, suggests stability, but his limited innings in this game could raise concerns about his durability or role adjustment as the season progresses. Olson's respectable strikeout rates and FIP indicate potential, but fantasy managers should monitor his usage closely to gauge his value in their rotations.

Reese Olson had a rough outing, allowing four earned runs on four hits and one walk while striking out three over just 2.1 innings in Monday's narrow 7-6 victory against the Royals.

Fantasy Impact

This performance was a bit of a blip in what has been a solid season for Olson, who still has a respectable 3.50 ERA and 1.21 WHIP. Despite the shaky start, his season-long metrics, including a strong 3.31 FIP and a healthy 8.1 K/9, suggest that he remains a viable fantasy option. Olson's ability to maintain a decent strikeout rate and a good strikeout-to-walk ratio should keep him relevant in fantasy rotations, though outings like this highlight some inconsistency.
