Fantasy Impact
Montas was struck by a comebacker, but luckily X-rays were negative. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now.
Frankie Montas struggled mightily, allowing five earned runs on three hits and five walks while striking out only one over two innings in Monday's 9-3 loss to the Mariners.
Fantasy Impact
This outing ballooned his ERA to 4.34 and WHIP to 1.45 for the season, further inflating concerns about his control and effectiveness. Montas's inability to pitch deep into games, coupled with his high walk rate, makes him a risky play in all but the deepest of leagues. His next start will be a critical test to determine if he can adjust and regain form.
Despite entering Tuesday's contest with an impressive 2.16 ERA and a 1.14 WHIP, Frankie Montas found himself on the wrong end of a 9-5 defeat against the Milwaukee Brewers.
Fantasy Impact
Over five innings, Montas allowed six hits and three earned runs, striking out four while walking just one. This performance marks a slight deviation from his strong start to the season. The increase in his ERA and the loss added to his record may raise eyebrows among fantasy managers, but considering his solid underlying metrics, including a 3.25 strikeout-to-walk ratio and a .280 BABIP, Montas remains a valuable asset in fantasy rotations.
