Joey Estes Struggles Despite No Decision Against Rockies
by Chase Davis | Athletics Correspondent | Fri, May 24th 9:02am EDT
Joey Estes delivered a mixed performance, allowing four earned runs on seven hits while striking out six over seven innings in Thursday's high-scoring 10-9 victory over the Rockies.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite not factoring into the decision, Estes's outing was a rocky one, as he was tagged for a handful of runs but managed to avoid any walks. His season ERA now sits at an inflated 7.47, with a WHIP of 1.34, which are concerning numbers for fantasy managers. However, his decent strikeout rate (8.6 K/9) and solid strikeout-to-walk ratio (3.75) offer some silver linings. Estes's ability to eat innings and keep the ball in play might still make him a speculative play in deeper leagues, but his high ERA and WHIP are red flags that can't be ignored. Proceed with caution.
