Michael Wacha delivered a solid outing in Monday's 8-3 victory over the Tigers.
Fantasy Impact
He pitched seven innings, allowing two earned runs on six hits and one walk while striking out three. This performance marked a slight improvement in Wacha's season, lowering his ERA to 4.45 and maintaining a steady WHIP at 1.32. Despite a less-than-stellar strikeout rate of 7.5 K/9, his ability to manage games and secure wins, as evidenced by his fifth victory of the season, keeps him relevant in fantasy leagues. Fantasy managers should view Wacha as a dependable, if not spectacular, option, particularly in deeper leagues or as a streaming choice against weaker lineups.
