Zach Plesac allowed four runs (one earned) on seven hits in 3 2/3 innings of work in a 7-1 loss to the Royals on Saturday. Plesac took the loss while striking out one and walking one.
Fantasy Impact
Plesac was making his first start since August 27 after landing on the injured list with a fifth metacarpal fracture in his right hand. He struggled in the start, although a fielding error by Gabriel Arias in the fourth inning didn't help matters. The owner of a 3-12 record and 4.34 ERA in 24 starts this year, Plesac will likely join the bullpen for Cleveland once the postseason begins.
