Josh Fleming battered in loss to Twins on Sunday

by Dan Harris | Pirates Correspondent | Sun, May 1st 5:26pm EDT

Josh Fleming allowed six runs (five earned) on five hits and three walks over 3 2/3 innings on Sunday against the Twins. He struck out one and took the loss, falling to 2-3.

Fantasy Impact:

Fleming now has a 6.32 ERA and 1.85 WHIP, and whether he acts as the starter or just piggybacks an opener, he's simply not helping fantasy managers at the moment. For the second straight year, he ranks in the bottom eight percent of the league in maximum exit velocity allowed, and his velocity and spin rate on his fastball are among the lowest in the league. He's scheduled to start against the Mariners next, but there's no reason to consider him for fantasy purposes.
