View More NewsYusei Kikuchi's solid start wasted in Jays' loss
Yusei Kikuchi delivered a quality start, allowing just one earned run on six hits and one walk while striking out seven over six innings in Friday's 9-3 loss to the Nationals.
Fantasy Impact
Despite his strong performance, Kikuchi's efforts did not translate into a win due to the Blue Jays' later collapse. His season ERA now sits impressively at 2.72, with a WHIP of 1.16, maintaining his status as a reliable fantasy option. His high strikeout rate (9.8 K/9) and excellent 4.78 strikeout-to-walk ratio continue to make him a valuable asset in fantasy leagues, especially in categories that reward strikeouts and ERA. Given his consistent performance this season, Kikuchi should remain a staple in fantasy rotations, although his win potential may be hampered by the team's inconsistent support.
