Porter Hodge shines in relief against Reds

Porter Hodge delivered a flawless inning in Saturday's 3-0 victory over the Reds, striking out one without allowing any hits, walks, or runs.

Fantasy Impact

This performance continues a season of strong relief appearances for Hodge, who boasts a 1.88 ERA and a 0.88 WHIP. His ability to maintain a high strikeout rate (10.9 K/9) while keeping his walks low contributes significantly to his fantasy value, especially in formats that reward strikeouts and WHIP. Given his consistent performance and the metrics like a low BABIP (.189) and solid FIP (2.84), Hodge remains a reliable option for fantasy managers needing bullpen stability. His role in high-leverage situations could increase, making him even more valuable in leagues that count holds and saves.
