The Angels released Zach Plesac.

Fantasy Impact

Plesac made three starts this season with the Angels. He'll look to sign a minor league contract with another team.

The Angels optioned Zach Plesac to Triple-A Salt Lake.

Plesac was hit hard in his last two starts. Andrew Wantz was called up as the corresponding move.

Zach Plesac struggled in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Angels, allowing two earned runs on one hit and four walks while striking out three over just 2 2/3 innings.

Fantasy Impact

This performance continues a troubling trend for Plesac, whose season ERA ballooned to 8.25, accompanied by a WHIP of 1.58. His inability to control the strike zone is evident with a low strikeout-to-walk ratio of 0.71 and a K/9 of just 3.8. Despite a seemingly low BABIP of .211, Plesac's high FIP of 8.51 suggests that his struggles are not solely due to bad luck but also poor performance. Fantasy managers should be wary of relying on him in any format, as his current form offers little in terms of reliability or upside.

Zach Plesac struggled mightily in Saturday's 7-2 loss to the Dodgers, allowing six earned runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out only one over three innings.

Fantasy Impact

This outing marks a continuation of a rough start to the season for Plesac, whose ERA ballooned to 8.68, with a WHIP standing at 1.50. His low strikeout rate of 1.9 K/9 and high FIP of 9.36 are particularly concerning for fantasy managers looking for reliable starting options. Given these numbers, Plesac's role in fantasy lineups should be scrutinized heavily, and managers might consider benching him until he shows signs of substantial improvement.

The Angels have Zach Plesac listed as the starting pitcher for Saturday’s game with the Dodgers.

Fantasy Impact

Plesac will get another start filling in for the injured Jose Soriano. He will face a tough Dodgers’ lineup in his second start of the season.
