Framber Valdez Struggles in Loss to Royals
by Jesse Garcia | Astros Correspondent | Sat, Sep 23rd 8:12am EDT
Framber Valdez had a rough outing on Friday against the Royals, allowing six earned runs over 5.1 innings pitched.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite recording 10 strikeouts, Valdez struggled with his control, issuing three walks and giving up four hits. This disappointing performance further dampens Valdez's fantasy outlook, as his season-long numbers now include a 3.39 ERA and a 1.09 WHIP. While his strikeout rate remains solid at 9.0 K/9, Valdez's recent struggles and lack of run support from the Astros have resulted in a less-than-ideal 12-11 record. Fantasy managers may want to exercise caution moving forward until Valdez can regain his form.
