Joey Estes struggles in tight loss to Mariners

Joey Estes allowed three earned runs on five hits and two walks while striking out two over five innings in Saturday's 7-6 loss to the Mariners.

Fantasy Impact

This outing was a microcosm of Estes's season, characterized by moderate control but limited strikeout ability, as evidenced by his 6.5 K/9 rate. His season ERA now sits at an elevated 5.01, with a WHIP of 1.23, which are hardly inspiring numbers for fantasy managers. The lack of strikeouts and high ERA are significant concerns, diminishing his appeal in standard fantasy formats. Estes's performance this season suggests he's more of a depth option in deeper leagues, rather than a reliable starter in most fantasy rotations.
