Joe Ross endured another rough outing, allowing three earned runs on three hits and two walks while striking out two over five innings in Wednesday's 6-4 loss to the Royals.
Fantasy Impact
This performance continues a troubling trend for Ross, whose season ERA now sits at an inflated 4.75 with a WHIP of 1.47. Despite a decent FIP of 3.98 suggesting some bad luck, his low strikeout rate of 7.3 K/9 limits his upside in fantasy formats. The high BABIP (.316) might hint at potential improvement, but his lack of command and strikeout ability makes him a risky play in all but the deepest of leagues. Ross's inconsistency remains a significant concern for fantasy managers looking for reliable starting options.
