Fantasy Impact
After today’s victory, Lorenzen holds a 4.64 ERA and 1.33 WHIP with a record of 7-11 across 26 starts this season. He had his highest strikeout rate since 2020 and also lowered his walk rate by 5% over last year. However, he also had his worst ERA in four years, and failed to reach 150 innings for the second year in a row. He's on a one-year deal with the Royals, so we'll see where he signs in the offseason.
