Fantasy Impact

Chirinos struggled in his last start against the Mets on Monday. He will hit the waiver wire.

Yonny Chirinos struggled mightily in Monday's 6-4 loss to the Mets, allowing five earned runs over five innings while striking out four.

Fantasy Impact

His performance was marred by nine hits and four walks, pushing his ERA to an unsettling 6.30 for the season. With a WHIP that ballooned to 1.87 and a K/9 of just 7.5, Chirinos's ability to be a reliable fantasy option is becoming increasingly dubious. The high BABIP of .375 suggests some bad luck, but the underlying metrics, including a concerning 6.22 FIP, indicate that improvements are necessary for him to be a viable starter. Fantasy managers should consider other options until he shows signs of turnaround.

Yonny Chirinos allowed seven earned runs over 5 2/3 innings in a loss to the Reds on Friday.

Fantasy Impact

He surrendered eight hits, walked four, and struck out only one batter, contributing to the Marlins' 7-4 defeat. This performance inflates Chirinos's already concerning 5.76 ERA and 1.72 WHIP, further dampening his fantasy appeal. His inability to suppress runs and limit base runners this season, coupled with a low strikeout rate of 7.6 K/9, makes him a risky option in all fantasy formats. Owners should consider benching or dropping Chirinos unless he shows significant improvement in his command and effectiveness in upcoming outings.

Yonny Chirinos allowed three earned runs over five innings in a shaky start as the Marlins narrowly defeated the White Sox 4-3 on Saturday.

Fantasy Impact

He surrendered six hits and walked one while striking out five. Despite the win, Chirinos's performance was less than stellar, contributing to a season ERA of 4.19 and a WHIP that remains uncomfortably high at 1.60. His strikeout rate continues to be a bright spot, maintaining a solid 9.3 K/9, but his high BABIP of .400 suggests he's been somewhat unlucky with balls in play. Fantasy managers should remain cautious, as his inconsistency and elevated WHIP make him a risky play in all but the deepest of leagues.

Yonny Chirinos allowed three runs on nine hits over 4 1/3 innings on Sunday against the Phillies.

Fantasy Impact
