Joey Estes Stumbles Against Mariners
by Chase Davis | Athletics Correspondent | Fri, Sep 6th 8:56am EDT
Joey Estes allowed four earned runs on six hits and zero walks while striking out three over four innings in Thursday's 6-4 loss to the Mariners.
Fantasy Impact:
This outing marks a continuation of Estes's struggles to maintain consistency, as evidenced by his season ERA now sitting at 4.46. Despite a decent WHIP of 1.13, his inability to pitch deep into games and a modest strikeout rate of 7.0 K/9 limit his upside in fantasy formats. The lack of walks in this game is a small silver lining, but the four earned runs over just four innings highlight a vulnerability that could be worrisome for fantasy managers relying on him for quality starts. Estes's performance today does little to boost confidence in his fantasy relevance moving forward.
