Justin Steele struggles Saturday against Pirates
by Chris Schommer | Cubs Correspondent | Sun, May 12th 8:43am EDT
Justin Steele had a rough outing on Saturday, allowing six earned runs on six hits and two walks while striking out three over four innings in the Cubs' 10-9 loss to the Pirates.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance certainly didn't help his already middling season stats, pushing his ERA up to 4.73 and his FIP to an unsettling 5.43. Despite a decent WHIP of 1.20 and a BABIP that suggests some bad luck, Steele's inability to limit runs or go deep into games is a red flag for fantasy managers. His strikeout rate remains unimpressive at 7.4 K/9, and today's game underscores a potentially volatile element in fantasy lineups. Owners should consider Steele a risky play, best suited for matchups against less formidable offenses.
