Patrick Sandoval

Patrick Sandoval took another loss as the Angels were defeated by the Yankees 8-3 on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact

He allowed two earned runs on just two hits and three walks while striking out seven over six innings. Despite a seemingly solid performance in limiting hits and racking up strikeouts, Sandoval's season continues to be marred by inefficiency and high-scoring games, as evidenced by his bloated 5.34 ERA and 1.48 WHIP. His solid strikeout rate (9.5 K/9) remains a silver lining, but his high BABIP (.339) suggests he's been somewhat unlucky. However, the consistent runs allowed and his poor win-loss record (now 2-8) make him a risky play in most fantasy formats. His ability to miss bats is appealing, but fantasy managers should be wary of his overall impact on ERA and WHIP.

Patrick Sandoval struggled mightily in Friday's 10-4 loss to the Guardians, allowing eight earned runs on six hits and four walks while striking out four over just 3 2/3 innings.

Fantasy Impact

This performance continues a concerning trend for Sandoval, whose season ERA ballooned to 5.60 and WHIP worsened to 1.55. Despite a decent strikeout rate of 9.4 K/9, his high BABIP of .350 and escalating ERA suggest that hitters are consistently making solid contact against him. Fantasy managers should be wary of relying on Sandoval in their starting rotations, as his high ERA and WHIP are likely to be a drag on those categories. His ability to strike out batters remains a small silver lining, but it's overshadowed by his overall ineffectiveness this season.

Patrick Sandoval turned in a quality start but couldn't secure a win as the Angels fell 3-2 to the Rangers on Saturday.

Fantasy Impact

He allowed one earned run on three hits and three walks while striking out five over six innings. Despite the strong outing, Sandoval's season has been marred by inconsistency, as evidenced by his elevated 4.59 ERA and 1.47 WHIP through 10 starts. His 9.4 K/9 and 3.18 FIP suggest some underlying skills, but his high BABIP of .361 indicates he's been somewhat unlucky. Fantasy managers should view this performance as a positive step, but given his overall season struggles, he remains a risky play in most formats.

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.
