Nick Pivetta had a rough outing in Wednesday's 5-0 loss to the Braves, surrendering five earned runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out only one over four innings.
Fantasy Impact
This performance marked a significant deviation from his solid start to the season, as his ERA ballooned from 3.60 to 4.50. The increase in his ERA, coupled with a drop in his strikeout rate this game, could raise concerns among fantasy managers about his consistency. Given his strong start to the season, this game may be a blip, but it's a reminder of the volatility that Pivetta can bring to a fantasy rotation. Managers should monitor his next few starts closely for signs of rebound or further regression.
