Fantasy Impact

Daniel allowed four runs across five innings in his latest start on Monday against the Blue Jays. He remains off the fantasy radar.

Davis Daniel struggled in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Blue Jays, allowing four earned runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out five over five innings.

Fantasy Impact

This outing adds another layer of concern to Daniel's already shaky season, where he's posted a 6.23 ERA and a 1.48 WHIP across six starts. Despite a decent strikeout rate of 8.3 K/9 and a solid 4.67 strikeout-to-walk ratio, his high BABIP of .362 suggests he's been somewhat unlucky, but it doesn't fully excuse the breadth of his struggles. Fantasy managers should be wary, as his inability to limit runs and deep outings are dampening his value significantly.

Davis Daniel struggled in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Yankees, allowing five earned runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out four over just 3.1 innings.

Fantasy Impact

This outing ballooned his ERA to 6.04 and marked a step back in what has been a season of mixed results. Despite a decent WHIP of 1.38 and a strong strikeout-to-walk ratio of 5.8, Daniel's inconsistency in game performance, highlighted by a high BABIP of .351, suggests volatility that might concern fantasy managers. His ability to strike out batters at a decent clip (8.2 K/9) still makes him a potential streaming option in deeper leagues, but his susceptibility to rough outings as seen against a tough Yankees lineup could make him a risky play without signs of more consistent form.

Davis Daniel allowed one earned run on five hits and one walk while striking out five over five innings in Wednesday's 2-1 loss to the Rockies.

Fantasy Impact

Despite a solid performance, Daniel couldn't secure enough run support to avoid the team's defeat. His season ERA now sits at 4.91 with a 1.18 WHIP, which are somewhat inflated numbers, but his FIP at 3.71 suggests he's been pitching better than those traditional stats indicate. His excellent 9.50 strikeout-to-walk ratio continues to be a bright spot, hinting at potential value in leagues that reward precision and control. Moving forward, fantasy managers should consider Daniel a viable streaming option, especially in favorable matchups, given his ability to limit walks and maintain a decent strikeout rate.

The Angels have Davis Daniel listed as their probable starter for Wednesday’s game against the Rockies.

Fantasy Impact

Daniel was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake last week and has not pitched since his promotion. He has a 5.82 ERA and a 1.18 WHIP in three games this season.
