Roster %
Eligibility
J.P. France pitched five innings, allowing two earned runs on four hits and one walk while striking out four in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the Braves.
Fantasy Impact
Despite a somewhat stable performance in this outing, France's season has been marred by high ERA and WHIP, standing at 7.08 and 1.67 respectively. His strikeout rate remains low at 7.80 K/9, indicating limited upside for fantasy managers looking for high strikeout totals.
J.P. France had a rough outing in Friday's 12-8 loss to the Rangers, surrendering eight earned runs on eight hits and four walks while striking out three over four innings.
Fantasy Impact
France continues to struggle on the mound to begin the season, allowing three or more runs in each of his three starts for the Astros. The right-hander has struggled to miss opposing bats to begin the season for manager Joe Espada, and should not be considered an option in lineups for fantasy managers until further notice.
J.P. France's outing against the Texas Rangers on Saturday was less than stellar, as the hurler struggled to contain an explosive Texas lineup.
Fantasy Impact
Over 5 2/3 innings, he surrendered eight hits and two walks, leading to three earned runs, while only managing to strike out four batters, contributing to a disappointing 7-2 loss to the Astros. The right-hander has now allowed three runs in each of his first two starts, but will look to limit the damage in his next scheduled start on the mound for manager Joe Espada.
The Astros placed J.P. France on the paternity list.
Fantasy Impact
France has his next start scheduled for Saturday against the Rangers. Houston recalled Dylan Coleman as the corresponding move.
Houston Astros right-hander J.P. France will get the start Sunday versus the New York Yankees.
Fantasy Impact
France had been behind in spring training due to a shoulder injury but will still get a start in the team's first series of the season. The righty worked to a 3.83 ERA in 24 outings (23 starts) last season but his 4.96 SIERA suggests regression is on the horizon in 2024.
