Emmet Sheehan

Emmet Sheehan allowed four earned runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out two over 5.2 innings in Friday's win over the Nationals.

Fantasy Impact

After the victory, Sheehan now has an 8.00 ERA and 1.89 WHIP with an 8.0 K/9 and a 1-0 record through two starts. He allowed six hard hits, but generally got weak contact with an average exit velocity of 82 mph. His control has been problematic, as he threw only 47 of his 98 pitches for strikes, and he's walked five in nine innings. He'll look for better results next time out against the Rangers.

Emmet Sheehan allowed four earned runs on five hits and two walks while striking out six over 3.1 innings in Friday's win over the Diamondbacks.

Fantasy Impact

He started the game hot, striking out the side in the top of the first inning, but driving up his pitch count in the process. He gave up two hits and a run in each of the second and third innings, but returned for the fourth. He started the fourth inning with a single, a strikeout, and a double before being pulled, and a double from the next batter allowed his two runners to score. While the results aren't great, the strikeouts were encouraging. He's lined up to face the Nationals next week.

Emmet Sheehan is scheduled to start on the mound in the second game of the regular season for the Los Angeles Dodgers according to Katie Woo.
