Chayce McDermott allowed three earned runs on five hits and two walks while striking out three over four innings in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Marlins.
Fantasy Impact
This outing, marking his first start of the season, wasn't exactly what fantasy managers would have hoped for from McDermott. His 6.75 ERA and 1.75 WHIP are concerning, especially combined with a low strikeout rate of 6.8 K/9 and a high FIP of 6.51, suggesting that his struggles were not just a matter of bad luck. McDermott's performance today likely did little to earn him a secure spot in fantasy lineups, and managers might consider other options until he shows signs of improvement.
