In this game, he allowed five earned runs in just 3.1 innings pitched, further raising concerns about his ability to limit runs and get deep into games. Fantasy managers may want to consider benching Rom until he shows more consistency and improved results.

Rom recorded seven strikeouts and secured his first win of the season. This outing was a significant improvement for Rom, who entered the game with a high ERA and WHIP. If he can build on this strong start, fantasy managers may want to consider adding him to their rosters for future matchups.

Drew Rom had a rough outing on Friday, lasting just 3.2 innings while allowing seven hits and two walks, resulting in four earned runs.

This performance adds to his season-long struggles, as he now has a 7.79 ERA and a 2.02 WHIP in four starts. His 5.35 FIP and 1.10 strikeout-to-walk ratio further highlight his struggles on the mound. Rom's high BABIP of .344 suggests he has been unlucky, but his lack of consistent performance makes him a risky fantasy option moving forward.
