Gavin Williams Stumbles Against Yankees
by Chase Davis | Guardians Correspondent | Fri, Aug 23rd 8:24am EDT
Gavin Williams endured a rough outing, allowing three earned runs on four hits and four walks while striking out five over 4.1 innings in Thursday's 6-0 loss to the Yankees.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance continues a troubling trend for Williams, whose season ERA now sits at an inflated 5.13, compounded by a WHIP of 1.46. Despite a decent strikeout rate of 9.9 K/9, his control issues were evident again, as evidenced by his four walks in just over four innings. The high BABIP of .336 suggests some bad luck, but the consistent walks and earned runs are red flags for fantasy managers. Williams's ability to miss bats is clear, but his fantasy value is hampered by high earned runs and WHIP, making him a risky play in most formats.
