Alex Wood stumbles again in loss to Guardians

Alex Wood endured another rough outing, allowing four earned runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out four over five innings in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Guardians.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance continues a troubling trend for Wood, whose season ERA has now ballooned to 7.89 with a WHIP of 2.03 across five starts. His strikeout rate remains decent at 8.3 K/9, but his high BABIP of .435 suggests some bad luck, though not enough to ignore the underlying issues. Fantasy managers should be wary; despite the strikeouts, Wood's high ERA and WHIP are damaging, and his role is in serious jeopardy without signs of any improvement as the season moves forward.
