Chris Paddack stays steady in Twins' victory

Chris Paddack delivered a solid performance in the Twins' 5-3 win over the Rangers on Saturday.
Fantasy Impact:
He pitched five innings, allowing two earned runs on four hits with no walks and three strikeouts. Paddack's outing was a decent display of control, particularly with no walks issued, which aligns with his strong season-long strikeout-to-walk ratio. However, his season ERA of 4.39 and WHIP of 1.39, coupled with a BABIP of .337, suggest that he's been somewhat vulnerable to hits and runs. While this start doesn't move the needle dramatically, it does reinforce his role as a mid-rotation starter who can provide innings and moderate strikeout numbers without severely damaging ratios. Fantasy managers should continue to view Paddack as a viable starting option, particularly in deeper leagues or as a streaming choice depending on the matchup.
