Fantasy Impact

Imanaga continues a strong stretch in the mound, allowing two earned runs or less in six of his last seven trips to the mound. The left-hander offers manager Craig Counsell one of the more stable options in an injury-ravaged Cubs rotation, carrying a 3.91 ERA and 1.11 WHIP with a 6-8 record and 8.5 K/9 ratio across 20 starts.

Shota Imanaga allowed one run on seven hits and a walk while striking out five across five innings in Friday's 4-0 loss to the Cincinnati Reds.

Fantasy Impact

Imanaga's only mistake in the game came in the fifth inning, when he left a fastball up in the zone that Elly De La Cruz crushed over the left-center-field wall. Despite owning an 0-2 record in his last three starts, he's pitched well, giving up two runs or fewer in each outing. He owns a 4.17 ERA and 1.12 WHIP across 19 starts this season. He is not scheduled to pitch again before the All-Star break.

Imanaga gave up a leadoff home run to JJ Wetherholt to start the game, but settled down and allowed just an RBI single in the third inning. He showcased his upside in this one, recording eight strikeouts, his most since May 7, when he recorded 10 against the Cincinnati Reds. He owns a 4.28 ERA and 1.10 WHIP with 100 strikeouts in 103 innings this season. He'll look to deliver fantasy managers another solid outing on Friday against the Reds.

This time, however, he worked out of trouble throughout the outing and did not issue a walk, helping him record his first quality start since May 13. He finished June with a 4.13 ERA and 1.09 WHIP, a significant improvement from the 5.80 ERA and 1.26 WHIP he posted in May. Imanaga is scheduled to make his next start on Sunday against the St. Louis Cardinals.
