Corbin Burnes delivered a quality start, allowing just one earned run on three hits and three walks while striking out six over six innings in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Athletics.
Fantasy Impact
Despite his solid performance, Burnes didn't factor into the decision, a recurring theme that must frustrate fantasy managers given his strong season stats. With a 2.55 ERA, 0.93 WHIP, and an 8.9 K/9 rate through six starts, Burnes continues to be a reliable option in fantasy rotations. However, his low BABIP of .225 suggests some regression might be on the horizon, potentially impacting his sterling ERA and WHIP. Fantasy managers should continue to deploy him with confidence, but keep an eye on any shifts in his underlying metrics.
