Mike Clevinger stumbles again in loss to Yankees

Mike Clevinger took another hit to his already shaky season, absorbing the loss in Friday's 4-2 defeat against the Yankees.
Fantasy Impact:
He allowed three earned runs on five hits and one walk while striking out five over 4 2/3 innings. This outing pushes his ERA to an unsettling 5.56 and WHIP to 1.85 through his first three starts of the season. The high BABIP of .351 suggests some bad luck, but the underlying metrics like a 5.37 FIP indicate that not all his struggles can be chalked up to misfortune. With a modest strikeout rate of 7.9 K/9 and a concerning 1.67 K/BB ratio, Clevinger's fantasy relevance is dwindling. Owners should consider other options unless he shows signs of substantial improvement.
