Eligibility
James McArthur delivered a flawless performance in the Royals' 2-0 win over the White Sox.
Fantasy Impact
He pitched a clean inning with two strikeouts and secured the save. This outing was a breath of fresh air for McArthur, whose season has been a mixed bag with a 4.15 ERA and a 1.38 WHIP. His high strikeout rate (11.4 K/9) continues to be a silver lining, and today's performance could hint at a turning point. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on his usage in save situations, as his ability to close games effectively, like today, will be crucial for his value.
James McArthur recorded the save on Sunday against the White Sox with a scoreless ninth inning.
Fantasy Impact
McArthur worked around a walk and single to secure his second save of the season. He appears to hold the lead for the closer role in the Royals bullpen moving forward.
