Eligibility
Shane Baz allowed four hits over 3 1/3 scoreless innings on Sunday against the Yankees.
Fantasy Impact
Baz did not allow any runs, but he only pitched into the fourth inning as he walked five hitters. He'll carry a 3.95 ERA into his next start against the Reds.
Shane Baz allowed three earned runs on six hits and one walk while striking out five over 4.1 innings in Thursday's narrow victory over the Yankees.
Fantasy Impact
Despite the Rays pulling off a 5-4 win, Baz's performance was less than stellar, continuing a shaky start to his season. With a ballooning ERA of 5.23 and a WHIP of 1.45 through his first two outings, Baz's reliability as a fantasy starter remains questionable. His high strikeout rate of 9.6 K/9 still offers some upside, but fantasy managers should be wary of his high BABIP (.367) and overall inconsistency. Baz remains a risky play in most fantasy formats, especially in leagues that heavily penalize earned runs and hits. He should be better moving forward as he shakes off the rust.
Shane Baz took the mound for his first start of the season, enduring a tough outing in a 3-0 loss to the Rangers on Friday.
Fantasy Impact
He allowed three earned runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out six over six innings. Despite the loss, Baz's underlying metrics suggest a potential for better days ahead. His 1.76 FIP is significantly lower than his 4.50 ERA, indicating some bad luck, especially given his high .389 BABIP. Additionally, his solid 6.00 K/BB ratio and 9.0 K/9 indicate his ability to manage contact and generate strikeouts. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on Baz's next few starts for signs of improvement as he looks to align his ERA more closely with his promising peripherals.
