Zebby Matthews

Zebby Matthews allowed six earned runs over three innings in Saturday's 9-2 loss to the Orioles.

Fantasy Impact

He surrendered seven hits and three walks while striking out five. This outing inflates Matthews's already concerning ERA to 6.69 and WHIP to 1.65 for the season, further tarnishing his fantasy appeal. Despite a decent strikeout rate of 10.3 K/9, his high FIP of 5.81 and BABIP of .364 suggest that both luck and skill deficits are at play here. Fantasy managers should be wary of relying on Matthews in any critical matchups, as his inconsistency and vulnerability are becoming more pronounced with each appearance.

Zebby Matthews allowed two earned runs on five hits and two walks while striking out five over 3.1 innings in Wednesday's 6-4 win over the Angels.

Fantasy Impact

Despite the Twins securing a victory, Matthews' performance was less than stellar, contributing to his already inflated 7.11 ERA and 1.66 WHIP for the season. His ability to strike out batters remains a silver lining, with a 9.6 K/9 rate that fantasy managers can appreciate. However, his high ERA and WHIP are red flags, indicating inconsistency and risk. Matthews' fantasy value remains questionable, best suited for those in deeper leagues or as a speculative add in hopes of improved control and outcomes in future outings.

Despite a decent strikeout rate and a solid strikeout-to-walk ratio, his high BABIP and FIP suggest that some bad luck and underlying issues are persisting. Fantasy managers should be wary of relying on Matthews in any critical matchups, as his current form presents more risk than reward.

Zebby Matthews allowed nine earned runs on ten hits while striking out five in a disastrous performance against the Blue Jays.

Fantasy Impact

This outing ballooned his ERA to 7.41 and WHIP to 1.47 over his limited appearances this season. Despite a decent strikeout rate, Matthews's inability to limit hits and runs severely undermines his fantasy relevance. Given his high ERA and WHIP, coupled with a lack of saves or holds, Matthews remains a risky option in all fantasy leagues. His performance today likely did little to inspire confidence among fantasy managers considering him for a spot in their bullpen.
