Reid Detmers dismantled by Guardians in rough outing

Reid Detmers struggled mightily in Saturday's 7-1 loss to the Cleveland Guardians, surrendering seven earned runs on five hits and four walks while striking out seven over 5 2/3 innings.

Fantasy Impact

This performance marks a significant setback for Detmers, who had maintained a respectable 4.24 ERA and 1.21 WHIP coming into the game. The seven earned runs allowed have inflated his ERA, overshadowing his solid 9.8 K/9 rate and 3.14 strikeout-to-walk ratio for the season. Fantasy managers should be cautious, as inconsistency, particularly in control as evidenced by his four walks, could lead to more volatile outings. While his strikeout ability remains appealing, this start is a reminder of the risks involved in deploying Detmers in fantasy lineups.
