Emerson Hancock wobbles but escapes loss

Emerson Hancock allowed three earned runs on five hits and four walks while striking out three over 5 1/3 innings in Saturday's win against the Athletics.

Fantasy Impact

Despite a shaky performance that saw him struggle with control and fail to dominate in strikeouts, Hancock was spared a loss thanks to his team's late offensive surge to secure a 7-6 victory. This outing underscores a season marred by inconsistency, evidenced by a ballooning 4.75 ERA and a modest 5.8 K/9 rate. His WHIP of 1.34 and FIP of 5.78 suggest that improvements are necessary if he aims to be a reliable option in fantasy rotations. Moving forward, fantasy managers should view Hancock as a risky play.
