Brandon Pfaadt pummeled in loss to Giants

Brandon Pfaadt struggled mightily in Tuesday's 11-0 defeat to the Giants.

Fantasy Impact

He allowed four earned runs on six hits and two walks while striking out four over just 2 2/3 innings. This outing marks a significant setback for Pfaadt, who maintains a 4.80 ERA and a 1.25 WHIP across 31 starts. His inability to pitch deep into the game and the surge in earned runs could raise concerns about his reliability in fantasy lineups, especially considering the volatility shown in this performance. With a solid strikeout rate of 9.0 K/9 and a decent 4.29 strikeout-to-walk ratio, Pfaadt remains a potential asset for strikeouts, but fantasy managers might want to temper expectations for his ERA and WHIP impact moving forward.
