Phillies starter Zach Eflin allowed two earned runs on five hits and one walk while striking out nine over eight innings in a loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday. The loss drops him to 6-6 on the season.

Fantasy Impact

Eflin has been excellent for the Phillies of late and has a 2.81 ERA, but it is worth noting that some of the metrics tell a different story. His xFIP is nearly two runs higher at 4.66, and his Hard% is up more than 7% than last season when he had a 4.36 ERA. His next start is scheduled to come against the Nationals in Washington, but Eflin may be more of a sell-high candidate than someone fantasy owners will be able to rely on consistently for the rest of the season.

Phillies starter Zach Eflin allowed one earned run on four hits and four walks while striking out six over 6 1/3 innings in Friday’s win over the Cincinnati Reds. The win brings him to 6-5 on the season.

Fantasy Impact

Eflin looked solid in his first start back from the injured list. While his 2.88 ERA is excellent and his 1.19 WHIP is good, he has just 57 strikeouts over 72 innings pitched. His 4.42 FIP and .269 BABIP also indicate that some regression to his ERA is probably on the way soon. He is scheduled to take on the Diamondbacks at home in his next start.

Phillies starting pitcher Zach Eflin was placed on the 10-day injured list with mild back tightness on Friday. Cole Irvin was recalled and will start on Saturday against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Fantasy Impact

The move to place Eflin on the IL was made retroactive to Tuesday, so it's possible that the injury is mild enough that the righty will miss only one start before returning near the end of next week. Look for an update on his status after the weekend.

Phillies starter Zach Eflin allowed three earned runs on six hits and one walk while striking out four over 3 2/3 innings in Sunday’s loss to the Milwaukee Brewers. The loss drops him to 5-5 on the season.

Fantasy Impact

Eflin was on the wrong side of a one-hit shutout, though he didn’t do much to help his own cause. His ERA rose to 3.02 after Sunday’s outing, and his 4.31 FIP suggests that some additional regression is on the way. His next start is scheduled to come against the Dodgers in Los Angeles.
