Chris Paddack delivered a standout performance in the Twins' 5-2 win over the Red Sox on Friday.
Fantasy Impact
He allowed no earned runs on just two hits and one walk while striking out six over six innings. This outing was a breath of fresh air for Paddack, whose season had been marred by a bloated 4.78 ERA and 1.47 WHIP. His performance on Friday significantly contributes to improving those numbers and offers a glimmer of hope for fantasy managers who might have been considering benching him due to his earlier struggles. The improvement in his strikeout-to-walk ratio, now standing at 3.86, and a solid outing could hint at a return to form, making him a player to watch or retain in fantasy lineups, especially if he can maintain this level of control and effectiveness.
