Joey Estes's solid outing not enough in loss

Joey Estes delivered a quality start but couldn't secure a win, allowing two earned runs on six hits and zero walks while striking out seven over six innings in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Rangers.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite the loss, Estes's performance was a bright spot, showcasing his ability to control the game without issuing any free passes. His season ERA now stands at 4.29 with a commendable 1.11 WHIP, reflecting his efficiency in limiting base runners. However, his modest strikeout rate of 7.0 K/9 continues to cap his fantasy upside. Estes's consistent WHIP and improving control ratios suggest he can be a reliable option in deeper leagues, though his lack of dominant strikeout numbers might limit his appeal in shallower or strikeout-heavy formats.
