Steven Matz had a mixed performance on Friday, allowing one earned run on eight hits and striking out two over 4 2/3 innings in the Cardinals' 9-6 victory over the Diamondbacks.
Fantasy Impact
Despite the high number of hits, Matz managed to limit the damage to just one run, showing some resilience. However, his inability to work deeper into the game and a low strikeout total could be concerning for fantasy managers. Matz remains a viable option in most fantasy formats, but will need to harness his command in hopes of longer outings on the mound as part of a rebuilt rotation for manager Oliver Marmol.
