James Pazos

James Pazos got one out on four pitches in the seventh inning against Chicago on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact

Pazos was brought on with one out in the seventh after Marco Gonzales allowed two singles. He hurled four sinkers at Yoan Moncada to induce a flyout to right field. In conjunction with his scoreless outing the day before, Pazos is off to a solid start to the "second half" of the season, as his season ERA ticks down to 2.43 with a 1.02 WHIP.

James Pazos did not allow a baserunner over one inning of relief against the Rockies on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact

Pazos induced three groundouts on 15 pitches in his second relief appearance of the month. Over his last seven games, he has only allowed one run on one hit and three walks. However, with an average of less than one strikeout per inning and no more than one inning per appearance, he tends to generate a minimal number of fantasy points.

James Pazos did not allow a baserunner on seven pitches in the seventh inning in Baltimore on Monday.

Fantasy Impact

Pazos induced two groundouts and caught a bunt pop-up after coming on for Felix Hernandez in the seventh inning. His 2.00 ERA and 1.00 WHIP are as high as they have been since April 22, but are still outstanding over 31 appearances this season. While he does not strikeout a lot of batters, Pazos is a reliable one-inning reliever who holds opponents scoreless more often than not.

James Pazos allowed one run on one hit while striking out one batter in 1/3 inning of relief against the Rays on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact

This was the first run that Papa Paz allowed since May 16. Over this season, he has logged 22 innings with 22 strikeouts and only one walk. His 0.95 WHIP on the season ranks in the top 10 in the AL for qualified relievers as he continues to be one of the most effective arms in the Mariners' dominant bullpen. However, the nature of his short appearances and groundball outs do not provide fantasy owners with huge point production.

James Pazos relieved Felix Hernandez in the sixth inning on Tuesday night against the Rangers and inherited the bases loaded. After one run scored on a wild pitch and another on a passed ball, Pazos struck out Rougned Odor before giving up a single to allow Hernandez's fifth earned run to cross the plate.

Fantasy Impact

Pazos allowed three runs to score while striking out one batter and giving up one hit, all while only throwing five pitches. Even though his WHIP barely ticked up to 0.88 on the season and his ERA dropped to 1.40, this was one of Pazos' worst outings of the month (and Felix Hernandez can attest to that). He is still averaging more than one strikeout per inning and continues to be one of the Mariners' go-to relievers.
