Alex Wood stumbles again in loss to Guardians
by Chris Schommer | Athletics Correspondent | Sun, Apr 21st 8:54am EDT
Alex Wood endured another rough outing, allowing four earned runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out four over five innings in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Guardians.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance continues a troubling trend for Wood, whose season ERA has now ballooned to 7.89 with a WHIP of 2.03 across five starts. His strikeout rate remains decent at 8.3 K/9, but his high BABIP of .435 suggests some bad luck, though not enough to ignore the underlying issues. Fantasy managers should be wary; despite the strikeouts, Wood's high ERA and WHIP are damaging, and his role is in serious jeopardy without signs of any improvement as the season moves forward.
