Fantasy Impact

This outing nudged his ERA up to 5.40 and his WHIP to 1.28 for the season, reflecting a trend of inconsistency in his performance. Despite a solid 8.4 K/9 rate and a promising 3.57 strikeout-to-walk ratio, Schwellenbach's high ERA and susceptibility to hits, as indicated by a .329 BABIP, continue to be areas of concern. Fantasy managers should view him as a risky play, potentially valuable in strikeout categories but a liability in ERA and WHIP until he shows more consistent command and control.

This was the second quality start in a row for Schwellenbach and should stabilize his position in the Braves' rotation. His improved command, evidenced by a strong strikeout-to-walk ratio in this game, suggests that he could be turning a corner to more consistent performances. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on him for potential spot starts, especially in favorable matchups.

Spencer Schwellenbach turned in a decent performance, allowing two earned runs on four hits and two walks while striking out three over six innings in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Orioles.

Fantasy Impact

Despite this being only his third start of the season, Schwellenbach showed some improvement, lowering his bloated ERA from 8.38 to a slightly less alarming figure. His WHIP also saw a slight improvement, but it's clear that he still has issues to iron out, particularly in controlling the game and limiting base runners. His 6.9 K/9 indicates potential for strikeouts, but fantasy managers should remain cautious. Schwellenbach's performance today was a step in the right direction, but he'll need to build on this outing to become a reliable fantasy option.
