Austin Gomber delivered a strong performance, allowing no earned runs on four hits and two walks while striking out three over six innings in Saturday's 1-0 loss to the Pirates.
Fantasy Impact
Despite his solid outing, Gomber's season continues to be a mixed bag for fantasy managers. His 3.79 ERA and 1.29 WHIP are respectable, but a low strikeout rate of 5.9 K/9 limits his upside in categories that reward strikeouts. The 5.36 FIP suggests some underlying struggles that could lead to rougher outings ahead. Fantasy managers should view Gomber as a matchup-dependent option, particularly in leagues that heavily penalize earned runs or prioritize strikeouts.
