Fantasy Impact

He allowed four earned runs on six hits and struck out four over six innings, absorbing his third loss of the season. This performance nudges his ERA up to 4.35 and WHIP to 1.35, reflecting a season that's been a mixed bag with moments of promise overshadowed by inconsistency.

Matt Waldron delivered a strong performance, allowing just one earned run on four hits and three walks while striking out five over six innings in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Rockies.

Fantasy Impact

This outing marked a significant improvement for Waldron, who entered the game with a bloated 4.74 ERA and a 1.53 WHIP from his previous starts this season. His ability to limit the Rockies to minimal damage while posting a decent strikeout total should provide a bit of relief to fantasy managers who have been wary of his high ERA and WHIP. Fantasy managers should view this performance as a step in the right direction, but it's advisable to keep expectations tempered until he shows more consistent results.

Matt Waldron struggled in Friday's 5-1 loss to the Blue Jays, surrendering five earned runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out two over 4 2/3 innings.

Fantasy Impact

This outing inflated his ERA to 4.74 and WHIP to 1.53 for the season, continuing a trend of shaky performances. Despite a decent strikeout rate of 8.5 K/9, his control issues and high BABIP (.328) suggest that he might not be a reliable option for fantasy managers looking for consistent starting pitching. Given these factors, Waldron remains a risky play in most fantasy formats, particularly in shallower leagues where better options might be available on the waiver wire.

Matt Waldron delivered a mixed outing in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Dodgers.

Fantasy Impact

He allowed one earned run on three hits and four walks while striking out four over five innings. Despite showing some control issues with the four walks, Waldron managed to limit the damage while picking up the no-decision Saturday. The right-hander has allowed one run or less in each of his last two starts on the mound for the Padres and will look to put Saturday's control issues in the rearview mirror in his next scheduled start.

Padres right-hander Matt Waldron had an excellent outing despite his team dropping a 3-2 game to the rival Giants.

Fantasy Impact

Waldron allowed one run (zero earned) on three hits and a walk against five strikeouts across 5 1/3 innings of work before errors cost the Padres their lead in the ninth inning. The 27-year-old sports a 3.86 ERA in two starts and also a 3.03 SIERA and a 23.3% K-BB% in that time.
