Ben Joyce picked up the save on Saturday, so he was likely unavailable. Despite the Angels trading Carlos Estevez and Luis Garcia, Contreras likely remains off the fantasy radar.

Roansy Contreras had a rough day on the mound, allowing four earned runs on five hits while striking out one over just two innings in Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Rangers.

This performance certainly didn't help his already middling season stats, which include a 4.78 ERA and a 1.54 WHIP over three starts. His inability to limit hits and high ERA are red flags for fantasy managers looking for reliable starting options. With a FIP of 5.17 indicating that his struggles are not just bad luck, and a low strikeout rate of 7.9 K/9, Contreras is shaping up to be a risky play in most fantasy formats. His role in the Angels' rotation could even be in jeopardy if this trend continues, making him a potential drop candidate in shallower leagues.

Roansy Contreras allowed three runs (two earned) on two hits over 2 2/3 innings on Thursday against the Athletics.

Contreras added three walks to just one strikeout. After two scoreless frames, Oakland got to him for all three runs in the third inning where he was removed from the game. He remains mostly off the fantasy radar.
