James Paxton labored through five innings, allowing four earned runs on six hits and five walks while striking out four in Monday's 8-4 win over the Diamondbacks.

Fantasy Impact

Despite the victory, Paxton's performance was less than stellar, as his command issues led to a high pitch count and early exit. His season-long metrics, including a ballooning 1.68 WHIP and a low 5.3 K/9, suggest that fantasy managers should temper their expectations. Paxton's fantasy reliability appears shaky moving forward.

Fantasy Impact

James Paxton delivered a solid performance for the Los Angeles Dodgers in their 4-2 win against the Minnesota Twins on Monday, navigating through six innings while allowing just three hits and two earned runs.

Fantasy Impact

Although his strikeout numbers were modest, with only four Twins batters sent back to the dugout, his ability to limit base runners and control the game pace was evident. This outing brings Paxton's season ERA down to an impressive 1.64, maintaining a WHIP of 1.18 across his first two starts.
