Chris Paddack coasts on run support in win

Chris Paddack (SP,RP - MIN)

Chris Paddack snagged a win despite a shaky outing, allowing four earned runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out two over five innings in Saturday's 16-5 rout of the Angels.

Fantasy Impact
While the Twins' offense provided ample cushion, Paddack's performance did little to reassure fantasy managers about his reliability. His season ERA now sits at an inflated 5.88, with a WHIP of 1.69, both numbers painting a picture of a pitcher struggling to find his form. The low strikeout rate of 7.3 K/9 further limits his appeal in fantasy formats that reward punchouts. Owners should tread carefully, as his current metrics suggest more turbulent outings ahead unless he can make significant adjustments.
