Eligibility
Zac Gallen struggled in Saturday's 7-3 loss to the Giants, allowing five earned runs on nine hits and one walk while striking out six over five innings.
Fantasy Impact
This outing marks a noticeable dip in performance for Gallen, whose ERA ballooned to 3.00 from an impressive earlier mark. Despite this setback, his season metrics, including a 10.7 K/9 and a 4.00 strikeout-to-walk ratio, still suggest high strikeout potential which can be valuable in fantasy leagues. However, his elevated 0.352 BABIP might indicate that some regression was due, and fantasy managers should monitor his next starts closely to gauge if adjustments are made or if this game was just a bump in the road.
