Patrick Sandoval stumbles again in Angels' defeat

Patrick Sandoval struggled in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Twins, surrendering three earned runs on nine hits while striking out four across 5 2/3 innings.
Fantasy Impact:
The left-hander did not issue any walks, but his inability to limit hits continued a troubling trend this season. Sandoval's season ERA now sits at an inflated 6.33, with a WHIP of 1.78, reflecting ongoing struggles in his command and susceptibility to allowing base runners. His high BABIP of .390 suggests some bad luck, yet the consistent contact by opponents indicates real issues. Despite a decent strikeout rate of 9.3 K/9, his effectiveness is marred by high earned runs and hits allowed, making him a risky fantasy option in all but the deepest of leagues.
