Zach Eflin had a rough day on the mound, allowing three earned runs on four hits and five walks while striking out only one over 4.2 innings in Wednesday's 9-7 victory over the Yankees.
Fantasy Impact
This performance was a bit of a stumble for Eflin, whose season had been marked by solid control and efficiency. His ERA ticked up slightly from 3.59, and the five walks were particularly uncharacteristic, considering his strong 5.58 strikeout-to-walk ratio entering the game. Fantasy managers should be mildly concerned about this outing, as it could indicate fatigue or mechanical issues late in the season. However, given his overall strong performance this year, it might also just be a minor blip. Owners should keep a close eye on his next start but not panic just yet.
Zach Eflin turned in a quality start but didn't factor into the decision in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Giants.
Fantasy Impact
He pitched six innings, allowing two earned runs on six hits and one walk while striking out five. Eflin's performance was in line with his season-long stability, maintaining a solid 3.53 ERA and 1.13 WHIP. His ability to limit walks, evidenced by a stellar 7.00 strikeout-to-walk ratio, continues to make him a reliable option in fantasy lineups. Although he didn't secure a win, his consistent innings and decent strikeout numbers should keep him relevant in most fantasy formats.
Zach Eflin turned in a quality start but took the loss in Friday's 1-0 defeat against the Tigers.
Fantasy Impact
Eflin allowed one earned run on five hits and one walk while striking out three over 6 2/3 innings. Despite the loss, Eflin's performance continues to reflect his season-long stability, maintaining a strong ERA and WHIP. His ability to limit walks and keep hits relatively low contributes positively to fantasy lineups, especially in formats valuing WHIP and ERA. However, his lower strikeout rate might limit his ceiling in strikeout-heavy leagues. Moving forward, Eflin remains a reliable option, particularly in matchups against less formidable offenses.
Zach Eflin struggled in Saturday's 7-1 loss to the Rays, allowing three earned runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out four over 5 2/3 innings.
Fantasy Impact
This performance slightly tarnishes what has been a solid season for Eflin, who entered the game with a commendable 3.65 ERA and 1.14 WHIP. His inability to go deeper into the game and limit hits this time around could raise concerns about his consistency, especially in critical matchups. However, his season-long metrics, including a strong strikeout-to-walk ratio and a decent FIP, suggest that this outing might be more of an anomaly than a trend. Fantasy managers should monitor his next few starts closely but not panic based on one subpar outing.
