Ashcraft Struggles Again, Reds Fall to Pirates 6-1
by Jesse Garcia | Reds Correspondent | Thu, Jun 27th 7:35am EDT
Graham Ashcraft endured another rough outing, allowing six earned runs on nine hits and one walk while striking out three over 5.1 innings in Wednesday's 6-1 loss to the Pirates.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance continues a concerning trend for Ashcraft, whose season ERA ballooned to 5.45 and WHIP to 1.49 after this game. His strikeout rate remains low at 6.9 K/9, which limits his upside in fantasy formats that heavily reward strikeouts. With a FIP of 5.07 indicating that his struggles are not solely due to bad luck, fantasy managers should be cautious. Ashcraft's role in fantasy rosters should be limited to deeper leagues or as a streaming option in favorable matchups, given his current form.
