Fantasy Impact

Junk easily had his worst performance of the season on Friday, giving up a season-high in runs, hits and walks. He has allowed a combined 11 runs over his last 11.2 innings and now owns a 6.35 ERA and 1.59 WHIP through three starts in May. After posting an impressive 2.83 ERA and 1.01 WHIP in April, Junk has been a liability in May and is difficult to trust, especially with his next scheduled start coming on Wednesday against the Atlanta Braves.

Janson Junk allowed four earned runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out six over six innings in Saturday's 8-7 win over the Washington Nationals.

He settled in afterward and surrendered just one run over the next five innings while striking out five batters. Through eight starts, Junk owns a 3.25 ERA and 1.11 WHIP with 33 strikeouts across 44.1 innings. His next scheduled start is on Friday against the Tampa Bay Rays.

He was great once again, with his only mistake coming in the third inning when he left a sweeper over the plate that Bryce Harper hit for a 393-foot home run. Junk has been one of the biggest surprises this season, posting a 2.82 ERA and 1.04 WHIP with 27 strikeouts across 38.1 innings pitched. He will look to deliver another solid outing for fantasy managers during his two-start week, with his next scheduled appearance on Saturday against the Washington Nationals.

Janson Junk allowed three hits and one walk while striking out four across six scoreless innings to earn the win in Tuesday’s contest against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Fantasy Impact

Junk threw 55 of his 76 pitches for strikes and was highly efficient, averaging just 12.5 pitches per inning. Despite operating as the No. 5 starter in the Miami Marlins rotation, he’s been the team’s most effective arm, posting a 3.00 ERA and 1.06 WHIP across six starts. His next outing is scheduled for Monday against the Philadelphia Phillies, putting him in line for a two-start week and making him a viable waiver wire pickup.

He now holds a 3.67 ERA and 1.15 WHIP with 17 strikeouts across 27 innings pitched this season, and will look to carry the momentum from Wednesday's performance into his next scheduled outing on Tuesday against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
