Ronel Blanco

Ronel Blanco endured a challenging outing in Friday's 6-1 loss to the Twins.

Fantasy Impact

He allowed four earned runs on three hits and three walks while striking out six over 4 2/3 innings. This performance marks a noticeable blip in what has been an impressive season for Blanco, posting a stellar 2.44 ERA and a 1.03 WHIP. His ERA and WHIP will undoubtedly take a hit, but it's the increase in his FIP to 4.19 that might raise eyebrows among fantasy managers. Given his strong start to the season, this game could be viewed as a minor setback rather than a trend. However, fantasy managers should monitor his next few starts closely for signs of any lingering issues that might affect his high strikeout upside and overall effectiveness.

Ronel Blanco will make his next start on Friday against the Twins.
