Jhoan Duran Clinches Save Despite Shaky Outing

Jhoan Duran allowed one run on three hits while striking out two to notch a save in Wednesday's 6-4 victory over the Angels.

Fantasy Impact

While Duran managed to secure his 23rd save of the season, his performance was less than pristine, allowing multiple hits and a run before closing the door. Despite this, his season stats remain solid, with a respectable 4.10 ERA and a 1.16 WHIP. His ability to maintain a high strikeout rate (10.4 K/9) and a strong strikeout-to-walk ratio (4.31) continues to make him a valuable asset in fantasy leagues, particularly in categories that reward saves and strikeouts. However, fantasy managers should be cautious, as any increase in his susceptibility to hits could inflate his ERA and WHIP, potentially impacting his role and effectiveness in high-leverage situations.
