Phil Maton secured a save in the Rays' 3-1 win over the Mets, tossing a hitless inning despite issuing a walk.
Fantasy Impact
This outing, marked by his ability to prevent runs but lack of strikeouts, slightly improves his troubling 6.39 ERA and 1.50 WHIP for the season. While Maton's save today adds a positive note, his overall performance this year, characterized by a low strikeout rate (7.1 K/9) and high FIP (6.57), suggests that fantasy managers should remain cautious. His role may continue to see high-leverage situations due to his ability to induce weak contact (.229 BABIP), but his inconsistency makes him a risky option in all but the deepest of leagues.
