Fantasy Impact

Pearson's struggles on the season continued in Monday's loss against the Padres. He'll try to get his confidence back in Triple-A.

Nate Pearson allowed one hit and one walk in a scoreless inning during Monday's 6-2 loss to the Phillies.

Fantasy Impact

Despite not striking anyone out, Pearson managed to avoid any damage to his ERA, which remains inflated at 4.64 for the season. His performance this year has been a mixed bag with a decent strikeout rate of 10.0 K/9 but undermined by a high ERA and WHIP. Fantasy managers should view Pearson as a volatile option, primarily useful in deeper leagues or as a speculative hold in formats that reward holds, given his 11 holds this season. His inability to secure strikeouts in this outing does little to boost confidence in his rest-of-season upside.
