Jonathan Cannon

Jonathan Cannon clinched a victory in Monday's 8-4 win over the Angels, delivering a mixed performance.

Fantasy Impact

He pitched 6.2 innings, allowing four earned runs on three hits and two walks while striking out seven. Despite the runs, Cannon's ability to secure strikeouts and limit hits helped his team secure the win. His season ERA now sits at 4.61 with a WHIP of 1.36, reflecting a challenging season. This performance, characterized by high strikeouts but also high earned runs, underscores his volatile fantasy value. Owners should appreciate the win but remain cautious due to his inconsistency and high ERA.

Jonathan Cannon struggled in Tuesday's 5-0 defeat against the Cleveland Guardians.

Fantasy Impact

He allowed three earned runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out four over 5.1 innings. This performance is a continuation of Cannon's challenging season, where he now holds a 4.56 ERA and a 1.40 WHIP across 18 starts. His strikeout rate remains low at 6.2 K/9, indicating limited upside for fantasy managers looking for high strikeout totals. Given his consistent struggles, including a worsening 3-11 record, Cannon's role as a viable fantasy starter is questionable at best. Fantasy managers should consider other options with more upside or consistency, as Cannon's current form does little to inspire confidence for future outings.

Jonathan Cannon delivered a strong performance Wednesday, allowing just one earned run on five hits and one walk while striking out four over 5.2 innings in the White Sox's 8-1 victory over the Orioles.

Fantasy Impact

This outing was a bright spot in what has been a challenging season for Cannon, who entered the game with a 4.70 ERA and a 1.41 WHIP. His ability to limit the Orioles to minimal damage while notching a win could be a sign of turning things around, but his overall season metrics suggest caution for fantasy managers. With a modest strikeout rate of 6.2 K/9 and a high FIP of 4.88, Cannon remains a risky play in most fantasy formats. His performance in this game, however, might make him a speculative add for those in deeper leagues or those looking for a potential streamer in favorable matchups.

Fantasy Impact

He allowed four earned runs on five hits and four walks while striking out three over five innings.

His inability to suppress runs and limit base runners has been a consistent issue, evidenced by his high FIP of 4.88 and a low strikeout rate of 6.2 K/9. Fantasy managers should be wary of relying on Cannon, as his current form and underlying metrics suggest limited upside and potential for further detrimental outings.
