Tommy Henry took the loss in Monday's 8-4 defeat to the Dodgers, allowing two earned runs on five hits and two walks over four innings.
Fantasy Impact
The outing did little to inspire confidence in fantasy managers, as Henry failed to record a single strikeout. His season ERA now sits at an unappealing 5.40, with a WHIP of 1.62 through six starts. The lack of strikeouts in this game further highlights his diminishing appeal, as his K/9 rate continues to lag.
Tommy Henry delivered a strong performance, allowing just one earned run on five hits and one walk while striking out six over six innings in Tuesday's 14-1 rout of the Cardinals.
Fantasy Impact
This outing was a much-needed bright spot in what has been a rocky season for Henry, whose ERA dropped to 5.55 and WHIP to 1.60 after this game. Despite the high ERA and WHIP, his solid strikeout rate of 8.9 K/9 and a decent 2.67 strikeout-to-walk ratio suggest potential for better days ahead if he can maintain control and limit base hits. Fantasy managers should consider this performance encouraging, but it's wise to keep expectations in check given his overall season struggles.
Tommy Henry has been called up from Triple-A Reno and will take the mound Tuesday against the Cardinals.
Fantasy Impact
Henry will step back into the Diamondbacks' rotation, as Merrill Kelly (shoulder) is expected to be placed on the IL in a corresponding move. Henry was optioned to the minors less than a week ago, but Arizona will quickly turn to the young lefty once again. Henry has put up a 6.87 ERA, 1.80 WHIP, and 18-to-8 K/BB across 18 1/3 innings so far this season.
In a performance that could be seen as a step in the right direction, Tommy Henry managed to keep the damage to a minimum in a challenging outing against the Rockies on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
Henry's line of 5 innings pitched with 4 hits, 3 walks, and 2 earned runs allowed, complemented by 6 strikeouts, did contribute to the Diamondbacks' 5-3 victory. Despite not factoring into the decision, this outing showed some improvement over his tumultuous start to the season, which includes a bloated 5.79 ERA and a 1.64 WHIP over three starts.
