Felix Hernandez
SP - SEA
Ownership
Eligibility
Felix Hernandez ended up as a tough-luck loser on Sunday as he allowed two runs on five hits and no walks over 6 1/3 innings against the Oakland Athletics on Sunday. He struck out seven.
Fantasy Impact
Hernandez is now 2-2 with a 5.48 ERA through four starts, but that ERA is inflated because of one disastrous outing that saw him allow eight runs in four innings against the San Francisco Giants. He is scheduled to take on the Rangers in Texas in his next start.
Felix Hernandez (2-1) allowed three earned runs on six hits while walking one and striking out three across 5 2/3 innings to earn the win Tuesday against the Royals.
Fantasy Impact
Fantasy owners see Hernandez's name and expect ace quality out of him. He is no longer an ace but is still a solid starting pitcher who would be good at the back of fantasy rotations. If he was dropped by impatient owners he may be a good pick up.
Felix Hernandez allowed eight earned runs on six hits and five walks over four innings in Wednesday's loss to the Giants. He struck out one in the process.
Fantasy Impact
Hopes were high coming off King Felix's first start of the season, but Hernandez came crashing back to earth in this one. He remains an inconsistent option that carries more name value than anything at this point in his career.
After a rough 2017 campaign, the Mariners' ace got back to business, picking up the fin on 5.1 scoreless innings. King Felix struck out 4 Indians batters in the process and was pulled after throwing just 83 pitches.
Fantasy Impact
This has to be encouraging for fantasy owners who took a shot on the aging veteran. While he isn't a strikeout master anymore, Felix can be quite useful if he locates his pitches and proves durable over the course of the season.
Felix Hernandez exited Monday's start after a line drive hit him in the right forearm.
Fantasy Impact
Luckily X-rays have already come back as negative. This means Hernandez has hopefully avoided a serious injury. The Mariners will still play it cautious with him, however. For now "King Felix" should be considered day-to-day. The 31-year-old posted a disappointing 4.36 ERA in 2017.
