Tanner Banks Strikes Out Five, But Sox Fall to Guardians

Despite a solid performance where he fanned five over 2.1 innings, Tanner Banks couldn't steer the Chicago White Sox clear of a 4-0 defeat at the hands of the Cleveland Guardians.

Fantasy Impact

Banks, who threw 43 pitches and allowed just two hits and one earned run, continues to showcase his strikeout capabilities, maintaining an impressive 16.6 K/9 rate that fantasy managers have come to covet. His ERA slightly ticked up to 2.08, but with a WHIP standing strong at 0.92, Banks is emerging as an asset in leagues that reward pitching efficiency and strikeouts. As the season progresses, if he maintains these metrics, don't be surprised to see him climb the ranks in fantasy relevance.
