Brandon Pfaadt pummeled by Padres in rough outing

Brandon Pfaadt struggled in Saturday's 13-1 loss to the Padres, allowing three earned runs on ten hits while striking out four over six innings.
Fantasy Impact:
The lack of walks was a small silver lining in an otherwise disappointing performance that saw his ERA rise to 4.61. Despite a solid season-long K/9 of 9.2 and an excellent strikeout-to-walk ratio of 7.00, Pfaadt's ability to limit damage has been inconsistent, as evidenced by his elevated BABIP of .325. This outing underscores some of the volatility associated with Pfaadt, making him a risky play in fantasy lineups, particularly against high-powered offenses. His strong underlying metrics suggest potential, but fantasy managers should tread carefully, monitoring his starts for signs of improvement or further regression.
