Andrew Abbott delivered a mixed bag in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Orioles, tossing five innings where he allowed two earned runs on seven hits, striking out eight without issuing a walk.
Fantasy Impact
Despite the high strikeout count and maintaining control by not walking any batters, Abbott's effort wasn't enough to secure a win, dropping his record to 1-4. His season ERA slightly improved to 3.32, and his WHIP remained steady at 1.16, reflecting his ability to manage hits and prevent free passes effectively. However, his elevated 4.76 FIP suggests some underlying issues that could be of concern for fantasy managers relying on him for consistent starts. Abbott's solid strikeout numbers and decent ERA are pluses, but his win potential appears limited on this Reds squad, impacting his overall fantasy value.
