Cole Ragans pitched 5 innings of one-run ball, allowing three hits and three walks with four strikeouts in Thursday's tight 2-1 win over the Blue Jays.
Fantasy Impact
He allowed just one earned run on three hits and three walks while striking out four over five innings. This outing marks a continuation of Ragans's ability to manage games effectively, despite a season marred by a high WHIP of 1.43 and a BABIP of .386 suggesting some bad luck. His impressive 11.1 K/9 and 2.21 FIP indicate underlying skills that could lead to better outcomes as the season progresses. Fantasy managers should note Ragans's potential for high strikeout totals and decent ERA contributions, making him a viable option in deeper leagues and formats that reward strikeouts.
