Patrick Sandoval delivered on the mound Tuesday, tossing seven scoreless innings while allowing just three hits and one walk with seven strikeouts in a 9-0 victory over the Pirates.
Fantasy Impact
After an inconsistent April, Sandoval has gotten into a nice rhythm here in May. Over two starts so far this month, the lefty has allowed just two runs on seven hits while racking up 17 strikeouts over 12 innings. Perhaps the most important factor for Sandoval has been his improved control, as he's walked just three batters combined between the two outings.
Patrick Sandoval delivered a mixed performance in Wednesday's 2-1 loss to the Phillies.
Fantasy Impact
He allowed two earned runs on four hits and two walks while striking out 10 over five innings. Despite the high strikeout count, Sandoval's season has been marred by inefficiency, evidenced by a bloated 5.91 ERA and 1.69 WHIP through seven starts. His 10.69 K/9 continues to offer some fantasy upside, particularly in formats that reward strikeouts heavily. However, his high ERA and WHIP make him a risky play in most leagues. Fantasy managers should consider matchups carefully before slotting him into their starting lineup, as his current form suggests volatility.
Patrick Sandoval struggled in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Twins, surrendering three earned runs on nine hits while striking out four across 5 2/3 innings.
Fantasy Impact
The left-hander did not issue any walks, but his inability to limit hits continued a troubling trend this season. Sandoval's season ERA now sits at an inflated 6.33, with a WHIP of 1.78, reflecting ongoing struggles in his command and susceptibility to allowing base runners. His high BABIP of .390 suggests some bad luck, yet the consistent contact by opponents indicates real issues. Despite a decent strikeout rate of 9.3 K/9, his effectiveness is marred by high earned runs and hits allowed, making him a risky fantasy option in all but the deepest of leagues.
Patrick Sandoval struggled mightily in Saturday's 7-5 defeat against the Reds.
Fantasy Impact
He allowed seven earned runs on six hits and five walks while striking out six over four innings. This performance further inflates his already bloated ERA to 7.17 and WHIP to 1.88 for the season, signaling ongoing issues with control and susceptibility to hard hits, as evidenced by a high .397 BABIP. While his strikeout rate remains a redeeming feature at 10.1 K/9, his diminishing effectiveness in other areas casts a shadow over his fantasy reliability. Owners should consider benching Sandoval until he shows signs of consistent improvement.
Patrick Sandoval delivered a solid outing in Monday's 7-3 victory over the Rays.
Fantasy Impact
He allowed one earned run on four hits and two walks while striking out three over five innings. Despite a rocky start to the season, this performance could be a sign of stabilization for Sandoval, whose ERA slightly improved to 4.67. His WHIP remains high at 1.62, but a strong outing like this might hint at better control moving forward.
