Triston McKenzie turned in a decent performance, allowing just one earned run on three hits and three walks while striking out six over five innings in Monday's 2-1 victory over the Tigers.
Fantasy Impact
Despite a somewhat shaky control evidenced by three walks, McKenzie managed to keep his team in the game and help secure a win. His season ERA now sits at 3.97, with a WHIP of 1.44, which are hardly elite numbers, suggesting that while he can be a useful piece in fantasy rotations, consistency remains an issue. Fantasy managers should continue to view McKenzie as a matchup-dependent starting option rather than a set-and-forget starter.
