Aaron Civale's steady outing not enough in loss
by Chris Schommer | Rays Correspondent | Sun, May 26th 7:03am EDT
Aaron Civale delivered a solid performance, allowing two earned runs on four hits and one walk while striking out five over five innings in Saturday's 7-4 loss to the Royals.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite this steady outing, Civale's season has been marked by inconsistency, as evidenced by his elevated 5.72 ERA and 1.34 WHIP through 11 starts. His 9.1 K/9 and 3.35 strikeout-to-walk ratio suggest some underlying skills, but his 4.77 FIP indicates that he has been somewhat fortunate to have even his current ERA. Fantasy managers should view Civale as a risky play, potentially useful in favorable matchups or as a streaming option, but his overall performance this season makes him hard to trust on a consistent basis.
