Eflin Struggles in Short Outing Against Yankees

Zach Eflin had a rough day on the mound, allowing three earned runs on four hits and five walks while striking out only one over 4.2 innings in Wednesday's 9-7 victory over the Yankees.

Fantasy Impact

This performance was a bit of a stumble for Eflin, whose season had been marked by solid control and efficiency. His ERA ticked up slightly from 3.59, and the five walks were particularly uncharacteristic, considering his strong 5.58 strikeout-to-walk ratio entering the game. Fantasy managers should be mildly concerned about this outing, as it could indicate fatigue or mechanical issues late in the season. However, given his overall strong performance this year, it might also just be a minor blip. Owners should keep a close eye on his next start but not panic just yet.
