Yusei Kukuchi lasts just three innings in loss to Astros on Sunday

Toronto Blue Jays SP Yusei Kukuchi pitched three 2/3 innings on Sunday, striking out four, walking five, and allowing three hits for two earned runs in the Jays' 8-7 loss to the Astros.

Fantasy Impact:

Kukuchi didn't take the loss on Sunday due to the fact that it was a back and forth game until the extra innings, but it also wasn't encouraging that he only lasted three 2/3 innings either. The starting pitcher now has a ERA of 3.75 but has yet to pick up his first win of the year and has only nine strikeouts over 12 total innings pitched, meaning that Kikuchi can currently remain on waivers.
