Cody Ponce

Cody Ponce (0-2) took the loss Saturday against the Brewers, allowing five runs on six hits and three walks in 1.2 innings. He struck out three.

Fantasy Impact

Ponce was simply ineffective against Milwaukee on Saturday, allowing three runs in the first and two more in the second before being removed. In three appearances this season (two starts), Ponce owns a 11.17 ERA and 2.59 WHIP across 9.2 innings. Clearly, he isn't fantasy relevant, and isn't likely to become so anytime soon.

Cody Ponce (0-1) took the loss Tuesday against the Cubs, allowing four runs on nine hits and one walk in five innings. He struck out two.

Fantasy Impact

Ponce was decent through four frames, only surrendering a solo homer to Joc Pederson. However, he allowed three more runs in the fifth, including another homer by Pederson. Ponce's time in the rotation may be short lived, as Trevor Cahill (calf) is expected back from the injured list shortly.

Cody Ponce allowed one run on one hit and two walks while striking out three over four innings in Game 1 of Monday's doubleheader against the Reds. He didn't factor into the decision.

Fantasy Impact

Ponce yielded a solo homer to Joey Votto in the fourth inning. It was his only run allowed in Monday's Game 1 loss. He threw a total of 63 pitches, landing 39 for strikes. Ponce is currently not scheduled for another start.

Cody Ponce received a no-decision in the second game of Friday's doubleheader versus the Reds, allowing three runs on three hits over four innings pitched.

Fantasy Impact

Ponce struck out four and walked one in the outing, which the Pirates went on to win 4-3. The 26-year-old has given up five runs in 13 innings this year. He isn't fantasy relevant right now.

Cody Ponce (1-1) allowed five hits two walks while striking out two across five 2/3 scoreless innings to earn the win in Thursday's Game 2 win over the Cardinals.

Fantasy Impact

Ponce made his first major-league start and held the Cardinals scoreless through five 2/3 innings. Despite the strong outing, it is unclear if Ponce will stay in the rotation or pitch out of the bullpen. He owns a 2.00 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and five strikeouts across nine innings in 2020.
