Buck Farmer delivered a flawless performance, tossing two hitless innings with two strikeouts in the Reds' narrow 6-5 defeat to the Pirates.

Fantasy Impact

This outing was a bright spot in what has been a solid season for Farmer, who maintains a commendable 2.58 ERA and 1.13 WHIP over 48 appearances. His ability to keep runners off base, as evidenced by his .231 BABIP, and a decent strikeout rate of 8.2 K/9, continues to make him a viable option in deeper fantasy leagues, particularly those that value middle relievers. While he doesn't rack up saves, his steady hand in maintaining leads or keeping games close can be a hidden asset. However, fantasy managers should temper expectations as his 4.27 FIP suggests some underlying concerns that could affect his performance stability moving forward.
