Luis Medina manages Orioles despite traffic on bases

by Chris Schommer | Athletics Correspondent | Sun, Jul 7th 8:40am EDT

Luis Medina earned a win despite allowing a crowded basepath, surrendering one earned run on six hits and three walks while striking out three over five innings in Saturday's 19-8 victory over the Orioles.

Fantasy Impact:

While Medina's performance wasn't pristine, he did enough to secure his second win of the season, navigating through consistent threats with minimal damage. His season-long metrics, including a 4.37 ERA and a 1.54 WHIP, suggest that he often walks a tightrope, and his low strikeout rate (6.4 K/9) doesn't offer much fantasy upside. Fantasy managers should view Medina as a risky play, primarily in favorable matchups or deeper leagues where innings are at a premium.
